 Sexual assault happens every day. Often the victim's shipmates could have done something to defend, to intervene, to help set a tone that does not tolerate inappropriate behavior. This is a problem that needs your attention and action. If you see one of your shipmates in a bad situation, it will be up to you to protect them. It is never wrong to stick up for a shipmate who may be at risk of being sexually assaulted. This is a human issue, and we owe it to our brothers and sisters in arms to have the courage to intervene. It's going to take courage to be that last line of defense for your shipmate, but you can do it. Your shipmate will be counting on you. Remember, it is always okay to intervene in a situation where you think a shipmate is at risk of sexual assault. No matter how senior or junior you are, it is your responsibility.
