A few years back I heard employees would take a "Stress Day" off at work and it appears the military allows "time outs" when cadets are stressed in boot camp. Does this help or hurt them in the long run? What's the best way to mentally condition for stress? In medical school (no where near as vigorous as boot camp) we were screamed at, smacked with instruments, awake for 36 hours straight, and called every unthinkable name while trying to operate depending on who our attending was. And if we didn't perform, someone died. I'm not convinced that's the best way to go either but it allowed a selection process to occur. I want our military to have all the resources they need and then some but I'm not convinced the stress cards help the situation much.....
