In honor of women’s history month… a fun fact!

! Did you know that in 1975 Hull Technician 3rd Class Donna Tobias made history when she became the first woman to graduate from the Navy’s Deep Sea Diving School as the Navy’s first female hard hat diver.

She chose the rate of a hull technician when her recruiter told her “no way, women can’t get in” as a diver. With persistence she worked for a waiver to attend dive school. After graduation, without the ability to get sea duty orders at the time, her first assignment was as an instructor at the Submarine Escape Training Tank at Submarine Naval Base in New London. Tobias was involved in search and salvage operations in Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, and participated in the sinking of a World War II ship to construct an artificial reef in Chesapeake Bay.

🔱 Learn more about women’s journey to join the U.S. Navy's diving community in this online exhibit at the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum: https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/undersea/explore/exhibits/online/women-divers.html

Myth: Mental health problems don't affect me.
Fact: Mental health problems are actually very common. In 2014, about:

One in five American adults experienced a mental health issue
One in 10 young people experienced a period of major depression
One in 25 Americans lived with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression
Su***de is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. It accounts for the loss of more than 41,000 American lives each year, more than double the number of lives lost to homicide.
