re: Desertion and Suicide surging in the Navy

I was talking to a pilot from VAW-117 a year or so ago. They had recently come back from deployment during COVID. They did a 10 month deployment, he said when they could port, all they could do was stand on the pier for a few hours and go back aboard. Anyone who has done a aircraft carrier deployment will tell you that is brutal. Not surprised first tour sailors want out after that crap.
I can’t excuse desertion though. Do your time and get out.

"Liberty" on the pier would suck hard. I would rather have a steel beach picnic out to sea than pull in and be confined to the pier. As to the suicide and desertion thing, Navy life ain't for everyone. Combine that with the fragility of younger generations and that's what you get.
