JBSA-Lackland --  Sexual assault has no place in our Air Force.  It is a crime that adversely impacts the lives of the victims, families and organizations. We can't live our core values of integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do without honoring the respect and dignity of our military and civilian wingmen.

Sexually assaulting others stands in direct contrast to our core values and breaks the trust that we must place in each other in order to accomplish the mission and serve our nation with pride, honor and professionalism.  We must work hard and honestly, to eliminate sexual assault in our organizations and while Commanders, Chief's, Civilian Directors and First Sergeants must lead the charge and set the right tone, the real key to success is to create the conversation at the front line supervisor level of your organization.

Together, we can make a difference.
