#Troops whose jobs expose them repeatedly to #blasts have the highest #suicide rates, per a new #DOD report.

The report lists the suicide rates for each #military occupational specialty 2011-2022.

Explosive ordinance disposal teams, who disable roadside #bombs & train & work around very large blasts, had the highest suicide rate — 34.77 deaths per 100k people per year — followed by #infantry & special ops forces; armor crews; & artillery troops; whose rates are closer to 30 deaths per 100k.

"My thoughts turn to... #Pruning.

Ideally, the first #Blasts of #Winter have left their mark & stripped the #Trees of #Leaves.

I delay my pruning because, for me, #Vision is crucial.
The #Art of pruning involves seeing into the #Future.

I'm like a #Bonsai #Gardener... shaping each #Tree for the long term.
When working with #Dying trees, I feel one of the ...#Strongest #Emotions a #Farmer has:
A sense of #Hope."
