stand ready on the alert all over the world to defend this country the american people are against aggression this is the big picture now to show you part of the big picture here is sergeant stuart wait. the privilege of serving the united states and uniform is no longer limited to a man. that you please by the women's army koran taking his grooming and feminine grease is one of the 1st lessons learned by the recruits. there were demands that require of her perfect physical health or stamina. i'm sure you've all. say there's a right way

a wrong way and the army way little. bit . more than that i'm done the man made it hard it is going to. run. model but prior to. that. there. was no contact turn right in 150 with the helicopter hanging on your every word it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman only that you're on. the time come.

up. on the fight to help us stop sexing tests it's a lot of work it's totally. just so. there was a waiting list for the navy over a year and i knew i didn't wait that long so i had a friend to me about the coast guard and i went to the coast guard and they said that they could get me in within a month so. i said ok. i tried college and. i had. a good job but as a married and an east texas i bought my own little house and the military was something i always. and until i come from military family i was always taught that

it's every citizen's duty to join the military if you can you should and so i want to go ahead and join and start a career. i enjoy the air force i was 17 years old i had a boyfriend that encouraged me to go in so that's why he didn't give you permission to go. when i was in high school i was impressed with the marines but i had met a colonel that used to run around the truck after soccer practice and he said he'd be perfect for the marine corps is a really smart and that's what the marine corps needs the professionalism of the camaraderie everything about it inspired me. after i graduated high school i left for orlando florida which was the 1st time i was ever on an airplane and a life. initially it was just wanting to go see the world because i'm from

a really small town i had a college scholarship to go play basketball but i instead opted to go into the military. you know what i chose to do. i come from a long line of military when we had somebody from every generation on both sides of the family all the way back to of revolutionary war i had served in the armed forces and i chose the marine corps because no one in my family had ever done that . ellos putting on a uniform every day and you know just getting out there and giving it my all and it's a very proud feeling. that i would have done the camp and it was create the cooler ottery that discipline everything it taught you who i wanted to be that's what they taught you there. obviously was a different take on the show. different people all of

a sudden good. but disagree experience i was a sailor every single report on me was excellent great i knew what i needed to do and i was a great team winner. i really enjoyed the whole challenge of it i got several different awards and. it was mainly men i love that i could blend in and keep up with the guys and their work as hard as. the new economy was challenging and education was talk notch my senior year i was selected to be one of the top 30 leadership positions by the company great officers there. after basic i went to the name of security for alaska i remember getting there you know issued a parka set up in my room and then he took me to the bar which was in her barracks and set down in a table were was me and about 10 other guys. and you know kind of felt like

a piece of meat on a slab at that point and i never wanted to turn around and leave so much of my life that i couldn't. yeah yeah. i. did. i'm a corrie december 17th of 2007 i was on watch when she got to the station and. blew me away when she walked in. right. order ok thank you. the command told us that she was coming then there were some issues but we didn't none of the crew knew exactly what had happened and i didn't find out. for a long tours. i was stationed in saginaw

michigan. i was the only female in my section. i had a supervisor. to the place for i get calls at 3 o'clock in the morning and he are telling me to come get him and i'm like i can i'm in bed and he would then threaten me. i'd walk in from training and he'd be sleeping in my bed. when we went to one of the higher ups the chain of command they were all like his his drinking buddy and they told me just because i didn't like somebody they weren't going to switch me away from this guy. it was in the evening around taps and. he don't lock the door and he'd come in and he had an erection and he tried to get me to touch him i took my right hand and i pushed him in the chest and started to yell for the other guys to kind of hear me. he hit me across.

the left side of my face i remember. holding the closet thinking what just happened. to my face hurt so. when we went to the command about it me in this petty officer who saw my face. they just let it wait because they didn't want any kind of problems going on. a couple weeks later i needed the key to do my cleanup so i knocked on his door and he said ok yeah come on in here and here and i said no no i'm going to wait out here. and he screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my own arm. the. and he raped me and his birth. every thing came to

a complete change the day that i was raped i got there in february by april i was drugged and raped for the 1st time i had like a cold or pneumonia like symptoms and so they sent me to get shut down and while i was waiting to be examined. and came in any help himself he said he was going to the bathroom he came into my room and and that's when he raped me the entire time i was screaming and yelling for help and for him to stop nobody came to the door nobody came to help me and maurice cure anything they made it very very clear. that. if i said anything they were going to kill me. you know in then of course i didn't have anyone to go talk to because the people that were perpetrating me were the police. it was my 1st time ever and i was

had a tough time convincing myself that i'm still over. if this is happening to me you know i can only imagine surely i'm not the only one which i found out later going through the claims process that i wasn't. it's just after 3 am i see a shadow of a human head over my body next thing you know that i'm awake and like he's on top of me and i wake up and that he's on top of me. he's already penetrated me i was drugged i remember the so. sounds a smell. that is locked and loaded $45.00 at the base of my skull. engage the ball so that i knew there was around chamber all i could do was continue to concentrate on breathing slam my head against

a concrete wall and very forcefully had sex with me and i just went to my tent pulled a sleeping bag over my head and cried myself to sleep so within the 2 week period. he raped me 5 times we got tested. i had tricked and. donna maria and. 'd me. in 1991 in congressional testimony it was estimated that 200000 women had been sexually assaulted so far in the u.s. military if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and that was you know more than a decade ago i would say you could easily double that number and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the u.s. military.

the young want transparency they want to know where this is headed and they're very in my hands and one night stand that they're going to get rid of what they don't want rapidly and they're putting themselves together they're courting very slowly this pandemic is making them be even more careful they will continue to be careful and they may. not least a decade i don't know a generation or cell of partnerships. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0. on the way to view houses were. preserved worse located only people have access to the story for investigators they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great

admiral in. full. for justice. for the current trial. here's this all was prescribed in the last 3 to 4 months this is cracks a team. towel program this is the annex. i'm tired of taking all these men i just want the v.a. to fix my jaw. i was having the most horrible pain in my face so i went to the dentist because i thought it was just my teeth or something was wrong. the doctor came in after the x. rays and asked me if i had been in a car accident when he hit me in my face he dislocated my jaw and it said both of my disc forward in my face i don't have any for my where they should be in my face

they told me i'd probably need a partial bone replacement for my bone it playing on my nerves for so long is starting to actually disintegrate. i've been on a soft diet for 5 years now. i can eat the foods that i used a everything is mashed potatoes chalo. times. times. by. the movie is great.

that there was. both my dad my brother prior navy and the army national guard and it's kind of like it follows in the family in the footsteps i was excited and completely just hyped up about going and all my family was proud of me. as my biggest hero. taurus and you're going to be taken care of and i guess that's one of the hard things that i have to exempt because i told her that she would be. in february we got a call. one

thing is done. rubbed his hand all over my entire body and told me he said i own all of this. and i was. absolutely scared didn't know what to do i called my dad. when the 1st thing she said is that i'm no longer birgitte. and. i said. what happened he said i was right. and you're a virgin. because. from you tube you. don't ever think your. main nerve in my spine was and spent 3

places and my hips were rotated. my title is director of military plans and personnel policy for the navy. we have specifically trained judge advocates our navy lawyers in our naval criminal investigative service those investigators are all specifically trained in sexual assault any report of a sexual assault is fully investigated in the united states navy they didn't take care of it for a year and a half they were tracking down witnesses they had all these students that are. and they can walk them down and say hey you're only hold talking to statement and i didn't and i went through 3 investigators it was like ok i'm giving this case that's what it's sort of feel like i'm giving this case i'm going to take care of it oh well this is really want to really want to deal with it females would come up to their commanders or their and ceo's and say that they were either sexually assaulted or abused and i don't think it was taken seriously i think

a lot of times a cursory investigation was done they were basically told to just suck it up a member bring in a young service member been brutally raped and bring him to see or command and try to make sure that this girl was taken care of properly and this idiot. for crying towards spilt milk the time the credibility of the witness was called into account had the potential victim had she made claims like this in the past there was a lot of witch hunting going on i was ordered to advise a victim of her rights for false statement when i knew that she wasn't lying i was asked to bring her in advise her of her rights like a criminal and interrogate her for false statement until i got the truth out of her . what we hear again and again from soldiers who have been raped is that as bad as it was being raped what was as

bad if not worse was to receive professional fratelli ation in their chosen career merely because they were raped when you report something. you better be prepared for the repercussions if a man gets accused of rape it's a setup the woman's life i could choose to report it but if i wasn't if you know if they found that what i was saying wasn't to be truthful than that i would be reduced in rank you could lose your rate you could lose rank you could lose your school if you file a false report 'd so. do you want to file a report. with the rape everything in the 1st my friend numerate me they sound leave me a report of the 'd 2 different times to my squad leader and he told me that there is nothing he can do about it doesn't have any proof they actually did charge me with adultery. i wasn't married he was they took me before make my hand the

tank commander and he says you think this is funny and i said what do you mean his like a solid job like what do you mean and i go see the 3rd girl report rape this week even as they call in cahoots you think is the game. right. ok and harlow usually takes. real.

hard. i mean that's. like 14 months with. the v.a. . mike you want to. bet if we were there 1st and then. this goes everywhere with me. and this goes everywhere with me. you always have protection with jesus but sometimes you need just a little bit more. to go. it was they c of course they. they ordered they ordered a back x. ray instead of that but if you're so make up. we should have they should know you should know what's wrong with me like read my stuff and you'll see that's

my face it's not my back it's not my legs my arms it's my need to prove i don't even know what your case is even though i don't even know why waste the gas money the trip anything it was completely a waste of time but a good veteran's day right. so perfect way to spend. it. because it was an isolated duty station they were in charge and we were just like cattle. so it was the 1st time i was drugged and raped i was this room with some of my friends and only had like one or 2 drinks and when laying down it was like instantly i was not feeling well and came to having a pillow over my head in my friend. raping me. and

that went on repeatedly. most sex offenders are hunters just like any hunter they study their prey they study their movements to study the behaviors they study the environment. you have rapists that prey on other human beings they they stock them they they wait until the victim is that the most vulnerable point in time to perpetrate their crimes a lot of times a victim as somebody that the suspect is very familiar with and they're very aware of what's going on most sex offenders have this hidden persona that nobody ever sees except for the victim therefore when they're caught or if somebody reports people don't tend to believe that because they don't see the typical sex offender if it's an officer it's an officer that has had a bit chilly in the past preyed on and enlisted they would do it once they get away

with it and then they think wow this was pretty easy i'm going to try to get in particularly for a savvy perpetrator to work with in a relatively closed system like the military it becomes a prime. a target rich environment for a predator. what a was discharged they moved to seattle or things got really bad. i started to lose everything. is homeless. the addiction to selling drugs crack

a guy. 40 percent of homeless female veterans have been raped while they were surfing they spit into such depression and it appears that they can't hold jobs they can hold their lives together and they end up on the streets when i 1st saw training as a gemini and i look over and it was like the universe was like a gal. in my head i was like you are i know there are some special of our. wow for hair when we 1st started dating it was hard. the biggest hurdle was not taking p.t.s.d. personally it does get really stressful i'm sort of said to have never known beforehand but you sort of in her in her prime now she is anxious and sad a lot of. going

to go going to go back you may. say come. come. my terms if i can for out doing something you know made she'll be like check in like oh it's ok trina it's i have appreciative of it you know they may see me really sad that here's this little 11 year old boy that's watching out for my wellbeing. and hurts you know i wanted to go away. you know and it doesn't go away. join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to us of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you that. some rumors as soon as you proceed through she's going to be known chris mccomb or you may. remember he just came to us for our ability to get in there hear that oh. don't talk to his. very international community. media used to the trick we're going to. move this to the kids who get this stuff study so they need to eat. those who pushed them that they were to use to look at the results for their new course we're going to go is everything produced polluted with just one post to do

with your book at the. top of the head with effect a cold day but i decided not to take this life. with my get can tell you that. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important it's accelerating transitions to sustainable transport sustainability stay number may not be more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. in the big. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else just as we don't even as i mean look . this is the moves of news and we do want to. underscore the
