    Sea Year Stand Down Reinstated

    The paragraph about fear of retaliation needs to be welded to the ATRs foreheads.

    Sea Year Sexual Assault Report(s)

    @kpmom2013 and @NatBow--Please contact the Senate Committee, or me, if you wish to share your experience. Alternatively, post it to the MLAA website [it's not mine] because the Committee is reading that too. They need to know what has been happening so that they understand how to fix it. They...

    Great question. How much did the ATRs know? They know the bad ships and good ships. I look forward to reading what Maersk submitted to MARAD 2016-2021 to qualify it to take cadets.

    Crewmember injured on vessel = lien. Crewmember raped on vessel = lien, just like crewmember slips, falls, breaks leg on vessel = lien. Unseaworthiness of crew that leads to injury to crewmember = lien. Victims can arrest the vessel to enforce the lien, just like any other crewmember can for...

    Yes. The rape on the ship created a maritime lien against the vessel in the victim's favor. The ship can be arrested if victim sues the vessel and the vessel calls in a port where arrest is possible (a US port). That would indeed get the vessel owners' and P&I club's attention.

    Sea Year Sexual Assault Report(s)

    Taking everything reported as true, a 10% rape incidence is beyond horrific. I used to do attend congressional service academy days to talk up the academy. I wonder how telling a room of 500 people, with all service academies represented, that KP had a 10% rape rate in our crown jewel sea...

    Asking the experts

    Watch--G-Shock Rangeman with time-synch. GPS unnecessary. It's great to have a watch with zero error. Learn to wear it 24/7 so when at sea you're never caught out looking for it in an emergency. The run $200-300.

    Value of Education

    Here is a report of college ROI for all colleges and universities in the USA, including KP. Click this link: College ROI. KP Ranks #10 nationally in NPV over 40 yrs. I have successfully used this report as evidence in litigation, along with an expert whose numbers came out nearly the same.
