Lt Col Charlie Brown I once stopped a sailor from committing suicide. After hours of talking him down (don't remember all that I said I was just talking to keep him engaged), he finally handed me the weapon and we went to the docs. Got him into treatment, and he eventually finished his 20 years and retired! The thing I said that had the biggest impact on him he said was : Never make a permanent solution to a temporary problem. He said that resonated with him. I don't ever remember saying it.
Really wish we could stop all suicides, but each save is a victory.
