Plan of Action You have the right to say "No" even if you: Say yes, but change your mind Have had sex with this partner before Have been kissing or "making out" Have a Plan for someone you can call if you need help If you feel uncomfortable, scared, or pressured, act quickly to end the situation. Say, "Stop it" and leave or call for help Use the Buddy System Keep the doors to homes, barracks, and cars locked NOTE: Be aware of Command’s Barracks Policy Know your resources: Call 158 (DSN) or (Cell Phone or Commercial) to report a Sexual Assault!
