On International Men's Day, break the silence surrounding men's mental health. Challenge stereotypes and foster a culture where it's okay for every man to prioritise his well-being without judgment.

ALT 40% of men have never spoken to anyone about their mental health.
ALT 191,000 men a year throughout the UK report stress, depression or anxiety caused or made worse by work.
ALT Three-quarters of registered suicide deaths in the UK in 2020 were for men.
ALT It's okay not to be okay. Seeking help is a sign of courage, not weakness.

Challenger 2 getting thrashed about by #ATDU in early '90s as part of development/reliability trials (not our video BTW). ATDU still sets the global Gold Standard for AFV trials - we've been visiting since 1988! #DefencePhotography #DefenceVideo #TankTwitter #MilTwitter @thepagey

ALT Three British soldiers are standing on a dirt road, in front of a green military vehicle facing the camera. Two more are sitting on the front of the vehicle. They are all wearing camouflage uniforms with blue berets on their heads. In the background are large green bushes and cloudy blue skies.

When we fall silent at #Remembrance, we’re remembering the ultimate sacrifice as one.
It’s the fabric that binds us.

A critique of CV90 is that BAE Hägglunds always build the hulls, so for programmes like Ajax offer insufficient participation
Thats a false narrative on a few levels, but thought it interesting to note this is a proven model & not actually different to chosen alternative...
FutureArmourLab retweeted
Bigger isn’t always better! The CV90 MkIV’s low and compact structure makes it hard to detect and hard to defeat.
