NON-CRISIS COUNSELING AND SUPPORT

Video by Capt. Richard Hecht, Petty Officer 1st Class Jeanette Mullinax
Warrior Toughness Around the Fleet
Chief of Naval Personnel
Oct. 29, 2021 | 5:42
At the U.S. Navy's Recruit Training Command, toughness is found—and trained—at the intersection of spiritual, mental, and physical strength, and bringing together a chaplain, a psychologist, and a SEAL to instruct reinforces the importance of that “whole person” concept. They speak the same language of toughness, but in different dialects, from their own perspectives, expertise, and experience.

This production shows how the Warrior Toughness mentality is embodied by Sailors at RTC and those serving in the Fleet after leaving RTC. Edited by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jeanette Mullinax.
