Female Marine charges obstacle course with sexual harassment

Filed · 1546

OKINAWA, JAPAN - Charges of sexual harassment have been brought against the base obstacle course this week, after a female Marine from 7th Communications Battalion reported that "she felt extremely uncomfortable doing physical training on or around the object."

The Marine, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims the O-course behaved in an inappropriate manner during a unit physical training session.

“I have never felt so ashamed and violated in my life. The course was all over my lady parts, then, it [the o-course] made me do terrible things," she said.

Soon after the female Marine's meritorious promotion to Corporal, her Battalion commander released a statement.
