You will need to remember why you are there, and what the consequences could be if you don't "Do the Work".

In this episode, the guys talk about their experiences with a program called PEER II PEER. This program was started by Maj. Angela Mobbs (Now Fox), it consisted of 12 guys who were together for 3 years, and in those three years, they were able to stop 3 suicides within the group. Angela would see each of the guys once a week for their Behavioral Health visits, but the guys saw and checked on each other daily, which allowed them to talk to each other and help out when things got ugly.
