Those are the intended consequences...
A suicide makes the command look bad, but so does attempts. So they don't report attempts, and hope the person keeps it together while at that command.
All that matters is the metrics because that's all that goes up the chain of command. So they hide attempts that are hidable, even people saying they're gonna do it. I had a buddy that bought the shotgun, told medical, and they told him to wait two weeks and see if the thoughts went away before he could get any type of treatment.
Like, that was nuclear engineering school and about as bad as it could get, but the command was 100% willing to roll the dice on him not following thru, even tho less than 2 months before that a security guard (also active duty) had blew his brains out with his AR15 5 feet from our training building door.
It's like fight club, there is an acceptable number of deaths, and they did the math and realized a suicidal person would eventually flunk out and that didn't count as a black mark against the command like a suicide did. By their math, it was better to say "X students tried to kill themselves" than "X students had to leave training from the stress of the program".
Because they'd have to fix the amount of stress in training if they were honest about what was really happening
Same shit happens anywhere stress is applied, and that's the whole time someone's out to see.
