hangover. And if that stupid phone rings one more time I'm going to punch somebody!" Kenseth
replies, "Chill out Logano. I know your struggling through some tough times right now. Why

While attending SNCOA, MSgt Hamlin goes downtown with some fellow SNCOs from the
class. One of her classmates, MSgt Dillon, buys her several drinks. It wasn't long before, Hamlin
is not feeling well and decides to call it a night and heads towards the door. Dillon escorts her
back to her room. When they arrive, Hamlin opens the door and Dillon walks in behind her. The

do, Hamlin calmly confides in her flight instructor who contacts the Sexual Assault Response
Coordinator.

unrestricted report; a climate of zero tolerance towards sexual assault CORRECT: According to
,the Emergent Leadership Issues chapter, NCOs have a duty to report to law enforcement, their
chain of command, and the SARC when they become aware of a sexual assault. MSgt Hamlin's
final actions indicate she reported the sexual assault to the flight leader, who must report it to the
chain of command, which will result in an unrestricted report. Because this has been reported,
MSgt Hamlin's final action will most likely result in a climate of zero tolerance towards sexual
assault.
