I got a disturbing report from DD. Two of her Project GO classmates were robbed at knifepoint on Saturday night. No injuries, just loss of stuff.
While we may think that being paired in twos is sufficient deterrence, it certainly is not. Think about it... two cadets, unarmed, presented with a knife. There is no adequate defense other than running away, if possible, or giving up anything the assailant wants.
I suggest we all warn those we know at CULP, ProjectGO, or any other assignment, to go in groups of four minimum if going out late at night, in unfamiliar surroundings.
