Initially it was just wanting to go see the world because im 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 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 it.

I met corey december 17th of 2007 i was on watch when she got to the station and. Just 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 didnt none of the crew knew exactly what had happened and i didnt find out. For a long time. I was stationed in saginaw michigan. I was the only female in my section. I had a supervisor. To the place where i get calls at 3 oclock in the morning and he or telling me to come get him and im like i cant im bad and he would then threaten me. Id walk in from training and hed 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 didnt 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 hed 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 didnt 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 im going to wait out here. And he screamed at me and he made me come in and grab my own arm. The. And he raped me and. 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 thats 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. If i said anything they were going to kill me. You know in then of course i didnt have anyone to go talk to because the people that were perpetrating me were the police. It was my 1st time ever and. I had a tough time convincing myself that im still over. If this is happening to me you know i can only imagine surely im not the only one in which i found out later going through the claims process that i wasnt. Its just after 3 am i see a shadow of a human head over my body next thing you know that im awake and like hes on top of me pushed my legs apart and put himself on top of me and start pulling at my shirt and i wake up and that hes on top of me.

Engaged the ball so that i knew there was around chamber 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 a trick. And i was pregnant ready. 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 dont 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 its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the. U. S. Military. We go to work. Straight home. Time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability very important its accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay in her manner in more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely hamas. This nuclear bomb. And look we got god to help us numbers and god didnt design the goods on Companies Want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is a canal this must be going to mean and i mean look steep turns the sun moves and news let me do random human im strength seemed to be based on that understood look who is going. To. Or the current. Hers was prescribed in last 3 to 4 months this is cracks in. The towel pram this is the annex. Im 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. It was. Something was wrong. The doctor came in after the x. Rays and. When he hit me in my face he dislocated my jaw and both my disk forward in my face so i. Really should be in my face. Probably need a partial bone replacement. Actually disintegrate. Ive thrown a soft diet for 5 years now. I can eat the foods that i everything is potatoes chalo. Times. Times. That. My dad my brother prior navy in the Army National guard and. In the family in. Was excited and completely just hyped up about going and all my family was proud of me. As my biggest hero. Told us of your own being taken care of and i guess thats one of the hard things that i have to accept because i told her that she would be. Whos in february we got a call. One who is dying and he. Rubbed his hand all over my entire body and. He said i own all of this. And i was absolutely scared didnt know what to do my dad. When the 1st thing she said. And. I said. What happened he said i was right. And youre a virgin. Because. Tributes. Dont ever think your. Main nerve in my spine was 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 Assault any report of a Sexual Assault is fully investigated in the United States navy they didnt 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 youre only hold talking to statement and i didnt and i went through 3 investigators it was like ok im giving this case thats what its sort of feel like im giving this case im 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 ceos and say that they were either sexually assaulted or abused and i dont 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 take care properly and this idiot. 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 wasnt 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 its a setup the womans life i could choose to report it but if i wasnt if you know if they found that what i was saying wasnt 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 believe me they reported it 2 different times to my squad leader and he told me that there is nothing he can do about it doesnt have any proof they actually did charge me with adultery. I wasnt married he was they took me before mike my and the tank commander and he says you think this is funny and i said what do you mean his like a solid job is like what do you mean they go see the 3rd girl report rape this week even as they all in cahoots you think is a game. Ok and who are the usually take a. Real. Hard. I mean thats 114 months when. The v. A. Mine is new. But if we were there. 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 facts but heres the make up. Shit of they should know you should know whats wrong with me like read my stuff and youll see that its my face its not my back its not my legs my arms its my need to prove i dont even know what your case is even about i dont even know why waste that the gas money the trip anything it was completely a waste of time what a good veterans day right. Its a perfect way to spend. It. Because it was an isolated duty station they were in charge and we were just like cattle. It was the 1st time i was drugged and raped i was this room where some of my friends and i 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 we 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 theyre very aware of whats going on most sex offenders have this hidden persona that nobody ever sees except for the victim therefore when theyre caught or if somebody reports people dont tend to believe that because they dont see the typical sex offender if its an officer its 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 im going to try to get and particularly for a savvy perpetrator to work within 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. 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 cant 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 and sort of sad to have never known for you know before and you know it shows sort of in her in her prime now she is anxious and sad a lot of. Going to go im going to go protect even. If they come. From.
