*personal comments on this…ya know I’m against homosexuals serving openly, but this
type of conduct is unacceptable to me.. the allegations include Commanders taking part in this…
that is inexcusable and if this claim is true…
punitive charges should be implemented to all those involved*

Gay Ex-sailor Says Hazing led to PTSD

WASHINGTON — Former Petty Officer 3rd Class Joseph Rocha says he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder
after being physically and sexually abused by fellow Sailors over a two-year period. But after a Navy investigation
into widespread hazing allegations within the unit, the only Sailor discharged was Rocha, because he also admitted that he is gay.

According to documents released by Youth Radio this week, Navy investigators found dozens of hazing incidents
over a two-year span at the Military Working Dog unit in Naval Support Activity-Bahrain. At one point,
the documents show, Rocha was hog-tied, fed dog food and tossed into a dog kennel full of feces. Commanders
also openly questioned his sexuality and forced him to simulate oral sex on other men.
