A Sailor, a Survivor and a Victim’s Advocate
The Daily Press reports:
Petty Officer 1st Class Bonnie McCammond remembers the 2009 housewarming party as a night of celebration and plenty of drinking.
The hosts provided plenty of space for the guests to crash. No one intended to drive home. But when Bonnie woke up early the next morning, another sailor was on top of her and she was being assaulted.
Before leaving the next day, the sailor said he had a great time and asked for her number.
McCammond didn’t say anything right away, and it took a long time before she could share her story publicly. But this year, McCammond became the first featured subject in a new Navy video series titled “Broken Links.”
In it, she talks about what needs to happen for the Navy to move forward in the war on sexual assault.
