What's next for Military Mental Health Assistant

I have no idea. This is the first time I've done something like this, so I guess if someone likes it, they'll do something with it. As someone who spent ten of his twenty one years in Navy medicine, my most sincere wish is that this goes into use for Sailors in need.
