On the first issue about clinical psychologists, you're right that we do not have them, but we hire them as civilians. One reason is that the requirement to be in uniform is absolutely required for deployment. Because we have psychiatrists, mental health nurses, social workers, and padres on deployment, the unique acute care requirement of psychologists is lacking in the operational theatre. A lot of this has to do with the limits of the size of the force, so that is probably unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, although as I said, we do have civilian psychologists embedded in our mental health teams so that they can provide the same therapy and screening.
