- The military stress card was a rumored "Get out of jail free" card said to have allowed United States basic training recruits to halt their training at will by showing the card, probably originating with a United States Navy "Blues Card", a short-term experiment by the United States Navy to inform new recruits about available mental health resources. Although these cards were only issued for a brief period during the 1990s, the rumor that trainees in all services were issued cards became urban legend. Both Snopes.com and Stars and Stripes confirmed that a card to halt training was a myth. A Time magazine editorial said a card was issued for this purpose by the Navy for recruits heading to boot camp at RTC Great Lakes. Whether urban legend or not, the purported use of them in boot camp has been cited as evidence of the softening of U.S. military forces, degrading readiness to fight. (en)
