Check up on friends and family.....Co-workers or even the vnbadness that is here. Cause even the people you THINK are ok....they Could not be.


Suicides are serious


Just got the "call" that every1 hates to get. Finding out someone you knew, respected and even viewed as a mentor had died.

RIP Big Sargent (Wont put name cuz truthfully no1 here would even know him) but lets just say this man was a great inspiration to my military career.

First and hopefully last military personal that i knew to die and whats worse is its suicide~

Everyone has their weak moments. Remember the better times.

Yah i agree....Nobody is invincible still is a shock and its been hours since iv found out

That's tough. Especially to suicide. PTSD is a major thing though (assuming he might have had it) or maybe it was something else. Either way sorry to hear

Yah im expectin to hear divorce or some thing along the lines of what you said.


This post is directed more to people who have not had some1 die close to them to this and may not know the signs....especially in my case where no1 saw it coming.


Its more of a wake up call to make sure when ur friend says "Im ok" and he normally says "Im good" something small as that to just check up on em and make sure.


I typically do this but thats bc iv had alot of suicides in my life This 1 felt just like my family since it was Army related~

Sorry to hear that man.

My cousin killed himself in 2004. It's so hard on the family, everyone feels guilty like they should have known or done something to stop it. And then you're just left with so many questions.

I'm sorry, but suicide is the most pathetically selfish thing that someone can do. To leave the rest of your family and friends with the burden of your death, emotionally, financially, etc. it's a complete cop out.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I've had friends take their own lives as well and every time it just pisses me off to no end.

I agree 100% actually....Its a cowards way out..... and thanks


Iv dealt with depression myself....luckily i had a great doctor who when i did my annual 3 mo drug test asked me if everything was ok. I talked to em....He set me up w/ a psychologist and I got put on sleeping pills. (which was what i hated but if i didnt take em i would stay up for up to 4 days before even thinking of sleeping)


Thanks to good doctors im now not having bad thoughts or anything. Im now living my life


Just stopped taking sleeping pills 2 weeks ago (after being dropped down in MG for last couple of months) Still havin issue sleeping however im not depressed

Sorry to hear it, Champ. Good that he touched other people's lives in positive ways that made them care about him, it's something we should all be able to do.
