The Capital, Annapolis, Md. | By Heather Mongilio
Word first spread on Jodel, an anonymous social media application used by Naval Academy midshipman. A mid threatened suicide.
Posts about suicide had appeared on Jodel before, but this time there was a rumor among the brigade that a midshipman might have come close to an attempt to take his or her own life that night on the Yard.
Unscheduled formations and a lack of communication about what happened on Aug. 29 only fueled the rumors. An email from the senior midshipman who serves as brigade resilience officer, discussing how midshipmen can't leave the Yard and suicide, seemed to confirm the rumor.
