Sexual assaults may be one of the most traumatic experiences that someone can endure. After being abused, mistreated, taken advantage of and tossed on the side like an old toy, it is insane to think anyone could manage to go on living life as if everything is OK.

Always know The Plan
Always know where your group is going, at what times, with whom, and what time you’re all heading home.

Fobbit
By: David Abrams
Fobbit is a satirical look at deployments during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The author was a public affairs officer and used his personal experiences to pen this fictional account. It is set on a Forward Operating Base in Baghdad and bounces back and forth between the daily lives of the infantry men sent out on patrol and the soldiers within the walls of the FOB that are tasked with writing news articles about what the infantry men encounter on their missions. This book chronicles the humor and misery of being deployed, the tedious bureaucratic madness that the public affairs soldiers experienced, and the crazy situations the infantry guys got into while on patrols. Funny and insightful, this book is the perfect read for anyone who has ever wondered what a deployment nowadays is really like.
