Thread: Concerned

He's lucky to have a good mate like you VC!!!

Secure the firearms now and protect your family first. Then talk to ypour mate about it. Your family is prioity nothing else comes before that.

Looks like a good outcome VC

VC, +1 on Tussocks note

Get the docs to sort out the meds, they help to get things on an even keel. Then LOTS of fresh air and exercise, and being around so he knows he has a support system ...

You said "depressed, not violent". Try to think of depression as being angry to the point where your thought process isn't quite right anymore. Most of the time it shows up as being sad, but sometimes the anger can lead to violence, either inward or lashing out/getting involved in arguments, antisocial behaviour etc.

He's a lucky bugger to have a mate like you...

I agree with that whole heartedly. Anyone would be. Well done again VC

Next time just call the Police, they have the powers to seize the firearms for safe keeping if they believe the person is not in a fit state to be in possession of them. Great power when they're depressed, angry, drunk etc.

I would have gone straight up there and taken them to.

If you are ever worried about anybody with firearms that shouldn't have them, just call the Police or the AO, they will sort it quick smart.

Probably just what he needs ,getting out with his mates doing some bloke stuff. Think he'll get over it in his own time ,likely got the "Where did I go wrong or what did I do to cause it" train of thought.Short answer maybe it wasn't him that was the problem but certainly the support of mates ain't going to do any harm .

Cam, you're the man. And you wonder why I call you my best mate.. I'm glad everything has been sorted.

Tussock - that was such a great explanation! I have been having a super shite week. Things don't normally get me down but like we all know, sometimes it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. I started off on a bad foot on Sunday and things just got worse this week. I'm home now and feel like I only have a few little glimmers of light to look forward to but I will try harder to keep my eyes on the prize! I may be near alone in this big city but I have a lovely partner who understands me and good friends I can always call on the phone. Reading your thoughts and experiences puts things in perspective. I obviously just need to get out there and shoot a big stag to lighten my spirits!!!!

Army boys I think you may understand the situation I've gone through this week - I have been honest about one of my peers' actions and that has put me in a bit of a situation. Honesty and intregity are two of my life values and I have stuck to them....but I am also loyal and it makes me feel like shit when these values come head to head. At the end of the day I have been honest about this person's decisions and it has resulted in him feeling betrayed and now spread to the troops and their parents. Hopefully when the red smoke clears it will be apparent that I have only tried to be true to myself and do things for the greater good of our unit. For now though I am the unpopular bad guy who wants to 'bring us down', when really I hope to set an example to my boys that sometimes it is really hard to take the path of integrity but at the end of the day it's just what you have to do if you want to be at peace with yourself. You may loose some followers (gosh I really feel like I've lost them all!) but in time they may come back and you will meet other people that respect what you've done.

Sorry to hijack the thread Cam but anyway, thanks dudes, my internet friends haha. And Cam good stuff for sticking to your guns, no pun intended. I am sure one day your mate will thank you.

If you did not stick up for what you believe in and and protect those beneath you, by now have been feeling a lot worse "dougie"

A poor officer without honesty and intergrity is a most destructive form of life. They wield such power over others.

Good work Dougie. Hold your head up you have done the right thing. Standing back and not doing so normally hurts everyone a lot more in the long run.

Bloody heavy rain warnings again for the weekend. Ffs
the weather is getting me down now lol.

Chin up Dougie .
Itl all come out in the wash Im sure :-)
