From Fox News
Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina is planning a tactical stand-down over three days in August and September to help those at the base “recharge” following the suicides of three airmen in the past year and the alarming uptick in Air Force suicides throughout the U.S.
Second Lt. Christopher Rhoton, 35, Justin Strickland, 26, and Jose Llanes, 28, all committed suicide at the base this year, according to Sumter County Coroner Robert Baker, while 79 suicides have occurred in the Air Force from January to July 2019.
Those 79 deaths were nearly twice as many compared to this time last year and officials fear 2019 could be the deadliest in history, according to
the Post and Courier. The military branch also recorded about 100 suicides per year over the past 5 years.

I'm retired from 20 years of federal service and 25 years of maintenance work. I've written three devotional books and continue to write devotions for the local newspaper, I play golf, run a cribbage club, and go crabbing a lot.
I'm also a victim of persecution: MK-ultra, Government abuse, and stalking, having witnessed corruption within the Virginia court system when my wife's divorce attorney, Howard Copeland, threatened Judge Whitehurst with a non-reappointment to the bench if he didn't get an order signed evicting me from my house (that had no merit). This lie destroyed any hope for my family reconciliation, and then he avoided court using legislative appearances, which made things worse with delays. I finally won the divorce after the lawyers used 5 judges and 1 commissioner; and then I personally appealed the retirement award to my wife. That got 2 appellate judges to suddenly resign for personal reasons and I never got my decree straight -- until 30 years later when I finally got my retirement the way it was supposed. Multiple attempts were made on my life, with a Virginia State police helicopter hovering over me to the state line when I left in 1989. Incredible what those in higher positions will do to protect their deceit! They should be made to pay back the State and Federal Government for their false accusations. Take it out of their estates!
