 Exercise! Exercise! The Navy invests a great deal of time into training for critical events. However, few people realize the Navy also trains to respond to the emotional and psychological effects of such an event. NSA Suda Bay recently conducted critical incident stress debriefing, a seven-phase supportive crisis intervention process. CISD aims to reduce distress and restore group cohesion by mitigating the impact of a traumatic event and facilitating a normal recovery process. When you experience a traumatic event, it is not like Hollywood. Even though when you watch something on this big screen, it seems real, it's not. And when you actually experience death or trauma, it tweaks you. The training is a process where we help individuals who have collectively gone through a traumatic event and help them process that traumatic event so they can transition back to what I like to call a new normal. Petty Officer Joshua Fulton, Suda Bay, Crete.
