Each service member is an invaluable and an important member of the Air Force (AF) team. We must support each other and look out for one another. Caring is a characteristic that endears us to each other and forms lasting relationships that bond us together. Our AF faces tough challenges.
We are fighting a long war on terrorism. We all serve in a time that demands the most of us; working high operations tempo, separations from our families and personal sacrifices. Suicide is a very real issue. Do your part by learning about suicide and take care of your wingman using the AF Core Value of Service Before Self.
Always let your AF Core Values be your guide when approaching suicide matters between co-workers, family members and friends. Stay in touch with individuals around you and don’t be afraid to speak up if you see that something is wrong.
You could be the only one to prevent them from committing suicide in the future. This is part of being a Warrior Airman!
