of the 1st lessons learned by the way through. their work americans to require a perfect physical health system. sure you've all heard the say there's a right way. and the army way. this isn't running for president carter near a. model but fire.

turn right 150. helicopter. it doesn't matter with you you're a man or a woman only your. own 500. second guess it's a lot of work it's totally clear. 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 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 wondered do i come from military family i was always taught that every citizen's duty to join the military if you can you should so i want to go ahead and join and start a career. i'm sure the air force i was 17 years old had a boyfriend that encouraged me to go in so that's why they 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 laps around the truck after soccer practice and he said he'd be perfect for the marine corps because you're really smart and that's what the marine corps needs the professionalism 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 . well of 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 camaraderie the discipline and everything it taught you who i wanted to be that's what they taught. obviously it was different taking a shower with different people all of a sudden good. but just a great experience i was a sailor every single report on me was excellent grades i knew what i needed to do and i was a great team leader. i really enjoyed the whole challenge of it i got several different awards and kudos it was mainly men love that i could blend 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 got 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 it 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. get. a. good care how i met corey december 17th of 2007 i was on watch when she got to the station and then this 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 time. i was stationed in saginaw michigan. i was the only female in my section. i had a supervisor it got to the place where 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 bad 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 were going to switch me away from this guy. it was in the evening around taps and.

he had unlocked 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 and this petty officer who saw my face. they just they went away 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. 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 and he helped him so he said he was going to the bathroom and 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 to morrow ski or 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. 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 in 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 like 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 being i was drugged i remember the sounds the smell.

it is locked and loaded $45.00 at the base of my skull. engage the ball so that i knew there was around chambered all i could do was continue to concentrate on breathing slam my head against the concrete wall and very forcefully had sex with me 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. thought every hour and i was pregnant. he did. he rape me. 991 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. we go to work see you straight home. the one guy appear he was a may found him literally dead like this standing up there

a guard over here his girlfriend they were found in their apartment that they just got. cut open up and they were dead for like 3 days holding each other this wall so people who have lost their lives early today sheen yeah this is from akron. that crown is better known as the meth capital in ohio it's a city where the number of drug addicts keeps growing every year. i came up here i was 14 in my whole family were drug addicts. throughout much of the 1990 s. and beyond and the doctors were incursion in some cases incentivized to overprescribe. i mean enough to sedate a small country where you should also hear about people by all that said good stuff man we gotta go get em dead god is crazy too much you know when you go. down there succumbing you know one after the next. join me every 1st day

on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. for the current crowd. here's this all was prescribed in the last 3 to 4 months this is cracks in this prosperity towel program this is the annex. i'm tired of taking all these men i just want the v.a. to fix my job. 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's both my disc

forward in my face so i don't have a need for my where they should be in my face they told me i'd probably need a partial bone replacement. bone and laying on my nerves for so long is starting to actually disintegrate. i've thrown a soft diet for 5 years now. i can eat the foods that i everything is mashed potatoes chalo. times.

why he did. the movie is. 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 foot 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 except because i told her that she would be. in february we got

a call. one thing is done. rub his hand all over my entire body and told me he said i own all of the. and i was. absolutely scared didn't know what to do i called my dad. when the 1st thing she said was bad. 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 are 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 solved 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 felt like oh right 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 and 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. the city. towards top crocus built milk out of time and 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 or in court 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 set up 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 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 so do you want to file a report. in with. everything in the 1st my friend ed to make me sound believe me i reported that 'd 2 different times to my squad leader and he told me that there is nothing he can do about it because they didn't have any proof they actually dead charged 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 the solid jokes you like what do you mean and he goes you're the 3rd girl report rape this week like all in cahoots you think it was a game. i . cry and cry. depression. and just. trying to.

mine is new or. better 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. shit they should

know you should know what's wrong with me like read my stuff and you'll see that it'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 like honoring the no why waste that the gas money the trip anything it was completely a waste of time what a good veteran's day right. it's a 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 laid down it was like instantly i was not feeling well and came to having

a pillow over my head in my friend. raping me. 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 stalk them they they wait until the victim is that the most vulnerable point in time to perpetrate their crimes a lot of times the victim is 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. it's 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. there is

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 hold jobs they can hold their lives together and they end up on the streets when i 1st saw training as at the gym 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 and sort of said to have never known training beforehand you want to sort of in her in her prime now she's anxious and

sad a lot of. going to go i'm going to go for the next even. if they come. to terms and thank you for now doing something you know michel be like check it 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 well be. it hurts you know i wanted to go away. you know and then go away.

a little before. all of tropicana housefull really not states that world all over. washington ceased to be a city of. gender quarter compromised by what is of sure national interest people talked about gridlock in congress review people talked about. the right salt the radicals you give in both parties so this is rapidly. a pretty solid my party is the centrist approach to follow. exposed to the nest and boring. date spot doesn't work little. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person who goes by the. no

dares thinks. we dare to ask. i know team no crowd. no shots no. action to help me. win the let me stress no 1st 12. points your thirst for action.

people. our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history to shame our heroes a race of bad news in a speech to mark independence day donald trump takes aim at people who want monuments destroyed as an anti-racism campaign intensifies in the us. deflated and to demoralized over polls to defund u.s. police struggled with a battered reputation as an overwhelming majority of cops say they would never want their children to become officers. loss and socializing and to distance think bars restaurants and so long as an anglo opened their doors after months of walk
