s Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month 2015 concludes, let us not forget that itâs on all of us to know our part and do our part to eliminate sexual assault. Throughout April, we have refreshed our education on sexual assault, its impact, and how you can be an active bystander in any situation. Letâs continue to actively prevent, intervene and incorporate this knowledge throughout the year.

and pledged to be an active bystander. Together we strive to eliminate sexual assault from our ranks and our Navy family. We are especially grateful to our uniformed Victim Advocates, the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions, the vommand, and many volunteers throughout NAS Key West and its community.
