This is awesome

Excellent idea. I love this.

Maybe call in professionals, not ppl who believe in fictional stories.

Great, we’re sending proselytizers to take dupe the mentally unwell. It’s a great use of federal funds now that we’ve cured cancer.

What a bunch of woke bs. We will never win another war.

And they wonder why recruitment is at an all time low? Would you allow your kids to go to school on a military base?

Maybe the Navy's mental health initiatives shouldn't rely on god to fix things...

Our society has raised a generation of weak, whiny, entitled garbage. A good war with Russia and China would help take out the trash.

They deserve real therapists and doctors.

That’s awesome are these Chaps licensed trained therapists?

Maybe the sailors it should have took their mom's aprons with them so they're not so upset being away from their mommies. I think they're just going to have to toughen up and grow up. You're on ships of War you're not on The Love Boat sailors.

Poor things so young and doing military work
