WASHINGTON: The U.S. Navy has formally begun disciplinary action for a service member who jumped overboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

The sailor’s wife claimed her husband had been suffering from mental health problems and only after giving birth to their child was he denied leave. She emphatically implored that her husband should not be punished but be given proper mental and psychological support.
She said it would be harmful to take disciplinary action against a service member who is having mental health issues, because that would make their mental health problems worse. She urged the military to take her husband’s mental health problems seriously and offer him the necessary care, highlighting the need to prioritize his mental well-being.
