The March 18 Sunday New York Times Magazine cover story was a gripping account of the emotional problems some female veterans suffer as results of their war experiences, sexual assaults or both.

One of the women featured in the story was a former builder constructionman Amorita Randall, 27, who served six years as a Seabee. Randall told the Times that while in the Navy, she was raped twice ? in 2002 while she was stationed in Mississippi, and again in Guam in 2004. She also told the Times that she served in Iraq in 2004, which the Times reported as fact but which it now appears was not the case.....

About me:
Getting ready to be married on the 29 of June. Then I am taking a trip down to Gulfport, MS to see friends for my Honeymoon. Will be in the New York Times on the 18th of March. This woman bugged me for a year to write a story on me and she is writing it on me and some other females that were in service. Hope it turns out well. Still trying to get my daughter back from the state of Colorado. She is doing well. Starting to be happier now. But keeps asking to come home. Breaks my heart

Here is an article by Sara Corbett which I am in.  I was pestered for a year to do this and finally I called her back.  It's not something that is easy to talk about.

First of all I already apologized. Second I did not ask for the Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. Third I have recorded proof that I was raped twice the first resulting in a child.                Randall. Who is going to be taken away from me because I have PTSD. It is all fully documented in my medical records. Need proof contact the VA. Why hasn't the Navy sent me a DD215 like they said they would when this all started? I don't lie. If I wasn't there fine. That is one less trauma for me to live through. I would gladly forget it all. In fact I can't understand why anyone left me alive to remember this shit. Ams
