I would suggest that vets stay away from this program at all costs. Once you get on their list as “troubled” you will never be able to get off it and you will be subject to future warrant-less actions by government agencies. Find some other method to get help if possible including private insurance, free counseling, churches, etc. This is my opinion based upon experience of others and the way government is functioning today.

Agencies shall continue ongoing collaborative research efforts, with an aim to enroll at least 100,000 service members by December 31, 2012, and include a plan for long term follow up with enrollees through a coordinated effort with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“...enroll at least 100,000 service members by December 31, 2012,...

That is by the end of the year!
