Pleased to hear you have positive opinions about the outcomes for your friends. However, in contrast to the excellent work of the medics in my case, I found that my chain of command had filed sympathy between **** and syphilis.
IMO, the financial / career issues can still weigh heavily against those with medical problems needing to seek help and, I see that removing as much as possible of that concern might help them. The financial cost of such improved support would be balanced by the benefits to all personnel and, just might prevent some mental health issues even happening!
Notwithstanding all that, for anyone thinking that their medical problem needs hiding, I advise seeing your Doc of choice. The outcome should always be better than living with a problem.
