As you go through BMT Training, you’ll receive training on sexual assault at various points in the program which may trigger difficult emotions.
You always have the option to meet with a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), anonymously; that is without anyone in your flight including your MTI, your wingman or anyone in the chain of command knowing the specific reason.
Follow the guidance below to meet anonymously with a SARC representative. You may also use the Trainee Hotline Phones, available 24/7.

Confidential & Anonymous Reporting
YOU CAN MEET WITH THE SARC WITHOUT YOUR FLIGHT OR CHAIN OF COMMAND KNOWING
The chaplain will maintain confidentiality by giving you an appointment slip, calling the SARC or a DoD certified Victim Advocate to meet you in the privacy of the medical facility (Reid Clinic. BLDG 7002), and signing you out of CQ, so you will not be questioned about it.
Since trainees are seen at Reid Clinic for a multitude of reasons, no one in your chain or flight will know the specific reason for your referral. Chaplains routinely give appointment slips to trainees for many different reasons.
The appointment slip will designate a room within the Reid Clinic where the receptionist will send you. It will be one of the treatment rooms (like any other trainee would go) to await the SARC’s arrival.
The chaplain or medical provider will have called the SARC, in advance, to tell them to come to you and to maintain the confidentiality of your visit.
THE APPOINTMENT SLIP ACCOUNTS FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS, BUT WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING THE SPECIFIC REASON FOR YOUR REFERRAL. EVEN YOUR WINGMAN WILL NOT KNOW THE REASON FOR YOUR REFERRAL.
Summary
There are many rules to follow here in BMT, they are put in place to keep you safe while in the training environment. Pay close attention to directions given to you by your MTI or chain of command.
Help your flight achieve great things by doing your part and following the rules and standards outlined within this study guide. If you encounter any problems while in BMT notify your MTI immediately. You are now on the road to becoming a Warrior Airman – Good Luck!
