The mission of USNA's SAAPM events is to increase the awareness among the Brigade of Midshipmen, staff, and faculty regarding the impact of sexual violence and provide opportunities to show support of sexual assault victims and survivors.
When you do not train the Midsthe right way, morally, mentally and physiclly, male and female, the proper way during Plebe Year, sexual assault and sexual harassment may penetrate Bancroft Hall as it has happened gradually in the last 40 years. We had plenty of interaction with the opposite sex at the away football and varsity sports games, or after the hops at the drag houses. However, we were taught the straight rules of the game, and the consequence of violating the system: out of the main gate immediately. What else can we expect from the current leadership under the thumb of Hussein, and his conception of "work place violence" after a muslim killed 13 and wounded 30, and the swap of 5 top terrorist for a deserter that "served with honor", among many other happenings?
