HockeyDude in crisis (military/law knowledge helpful)

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Hockey - you're not cut out for military life and there's nothing wrong or weak about it. I know I couldn't cope with it.

I agree with Badger that you need to exhaust every single avenue of support the military has to offer. But think of it this way, how is your mental health going to be improved, when you're already depressed and in a situation that is triggering it?

I'm sure there are alternative paths that don't end in a dishonourable discharge, they're probably being more dismissive of you than they should be, as they probably have a lot of people get out of their obligations that way... so they're more than likely testing you to see that you're genuine.

In the end, your life is worth more than a dishonorable discharge... but I don't believe it will end up with that.
