DCMH Brize were excellent. Less could be said about my route there. I approached my Sqn CoC, which promptly let the cat out of the bag and it became Sqn gossip. Went to see the padre just to see what help could be garnered from a friendly chat and an opportunity to 'off-gas'. The bloke barely concealed his contempt when I discussed my issues, especially about my failing marriage. The office door hit me so hard in the heels I felt I was being thrown out...
Nick makes at least three guys I know of this year who felt they had no where to turn. It makes me extremely sad that this has happened, especially that, as a whole, the British Military is definitely sitting on a mental health time bomb post Iraq and Afghanistan.....
