Chad,

I just posted a Brigade Resilience, Risk Reduction, and Suicide Prevention (R3SP) SOP I put together a couple of years ago, that contains a couple of BDs for Soldiers deaths, suicides and attempts.

Vanezza,

Ray and Brock both brought up excellent points. A fun/different way of approaching this question would be to ask your Senior Rater , using five single works, what qualities he/she expects of a junior officer. This is a unique way of asking about his/her expectations of you, IMHO. Good luck!
