There is a bit more than just stigma attached to allowing oneself to be referred for councelling - they can discharge you if they feel you are medically unfit for duty. No-one wants to willingly lose their job, even if they are helping themselves cope with stress. So many of these poor sods simply grind their way through tour after tour, without any outlet for their turmoil (that sounds familiar doesn't it?)
