Who's using "stress cards"? Where?
The Army in boot camp now are given a phone call every Sunday ,and are given a stress card to use if they feel stressed.
I don’t know about the phone calls, but the stress card thing is nonsense. A long-standing rumor based off a proposal that was never actually implemented. At most, cards were handed out with contact information for help if recruits were considering doing something really stupid like going AWOL or attempting suicide (which they do).
A friend of my sons, actually his best friend went into the Army while my son went to the Marine Corps and his friend said that they are given stress cards too
Sorry, not part of the younger crowd, just a recently past Army training Bde XO at a major BCT/AIT/OSUT post. Still have close ties to the IET world and sorry, your second hand info is indeed incorrect.
Well I will go on what the young guys have said who have just gone through boot camp,. I know it is embarrassing for you ,and I feel for your beloved Army, but lets face it . Many of the people in it today should not be there.
That is based on first hand knowledge too, from the people I know in the Army, and who I talked to at MEPS.
I think we can agree that we hope Trump gets the military back into a fighting force, free of his social justice cra, and make these boys into men. No more phone calls on a Sunday , no more PC, no more of this treating recruits like little babies etc ,
