Pentagon To Hire 2,000 To Tackle 'Wellness Issues'

Federal News Network: DoD plans to hire 2,000 personnel for ‘first of its kind’ workforce tackling wellness issues 

The Pentagon is looking to hire hundreds of clinicians and mental health professionals in the coming months, as part of the initial cohort of a worldwide workforce to prevent suicide and offer a broad range of wellness services to active-duty personnel. 

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, speaking Tuesday at a Washington Post Live event, said DoD is building up a “first of its kind” prevention workforce that will address a range of “stress and harm behaviors,” and will eventually reach an end strength of 2,000 personnel.

  3. the vacination:
    My wife has had two vaccine shots and now 3 boosters. She got the covid when a relative visited (and showing symptoms, we tested with home kit and he returned home). She is on her 4th day of the virus and is just fine now, though will not go out till 5th day and will wear mask when she does.

    THE VACCINES DO NOT PREVENT COVID. THEY MAKE IT TURN INTO A COLD-LIKE THING THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

  5. 3:06 needed to be refuted.

    Doing so meant getting into the weeds and providing facts/details. But there was structure to the refutal.

    Words like for starters, secondly, and thirdly showed the structure. It explicitly stated a list of facts.

    So no, there was no rambling.
