I had experienced sexual
harassment in the military.

I experienced sexual harassment.

In fact, my drill sergeant

busted a PFC down to a private

and gave me the PFC rank

because a guy was harassing me sexually.

He was a PFC and he thought that he could

make me do things because of that rank.

And when I told Sarge about
it, Sarge gave me his,

took his rank off and put it on me,

and he took my rank and put it on him.

I felt heard.

I felt heard and respected,

and rank is something that's earned.

It's not given. You have to earn rank.

So I earned that, you know,

and it was because I
came forward and told.
