Mission creep is a part of it, but you also need to factor in the back-to-back deployments of almost all the branches of the Armed Forces. Plus the institutional bias that still exists in all the services against a service member seeking mental health assistance.Yeah, I saw that. It's due to mission creep, sailors trying to be soldiers.
Sailors belong on ships and ships belong at sea. If the Navy wanted you to have a wife then there would'a been one in your seabag.

Navy corpsman arent navy.... They are mini marines. Just like Docs in the infantry. They ate, shat, slept, walked, etc with us. Even would do battle drills and patrols. They weren't POGs. They were DOCs.The USMC relies upon the Navy corpsmen to go into harms way to treat the wounded. Since WWI the U.S. Navy hospital men have the highest MoH rate in the entire armed forces. Terrible job patching up those that are blown up day after day. Putting your life on the line without carrying a rifle to shoot back. Hell if I know why anybody would want that job. My brother did it for years. He is now an emergency room RN. Sailors go where the country needs them.

Yea..... Just like salvation army is part of regular army....Marines are part of the Dept. of the Navy...so ????
...may? ...shouldn't? ...can? I spent 20+ in the Navy and every time I was "volunteered" for X (your job...if you choose to accept it and you really have no choice), those three words were used very frequently. Never considered those "requests" as anything other than a "or else" request.The new guidance states that commanders "may inquire about, collect and record information about a service member's privately-owned firearms, ammunition or other weapons."
Sailors shouldn't be coerced into handing over guns, it says, and they can ask for them back at any time.
If a sailor doesn't want to relinquish a personal weapon, commanders can ask to store critical pieces or the key to a gun safety lock.
