CNN’s Pamela Brown explores the broader issue of mental health resources available to service members during their deployments, and the long journey for one former enlisted sailor to being medically discharged for mental health reasons.

And Admiral Gary Roughead, Fmr. Chief of US Naval Operations, shares his perspective on the poor living conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln.

The aircraft carrier arrived in Thailand on Wednesday, its first regular port call in more than eight months, ending a marathon stint at sea in the Middle East that raised concerns about the welfare of its crew.

The 100,000-ton ship departed San Diego last November, and when it returns to Southern California later this year it will have completed one of the longest deployments in US Navy history.
