When some people hear SARC they think, "That will never be me," or, "My loved ones would never be sexually assaulted."

Sexual Assault Response Coordinator training helps Airmen realize sexual assault and date rape are very possible. This year's program, Sex Signals, is mandatory for all Dyess Airmen who have not yet completed their annual training. Sex Signals is a two person improvisational comedy show with audience interaction that role plays different scenarios to illustrate the outcome of various choices people can make in different sexual assault situations.

"This training is a painless, almost fun way of meeting your requirements," said Staci Vileta, Dyess Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. "Everyone seemed to like last year's show, 'Can I Kiss You?' The majority of people who have seen Sex Signals said they enjoyed it even more."

Sex Signals focuses on issues such as sexual assault, date rape, sex and everyday dating.

"For a lot of people, this play is just an AFI requirement. People don't realize how important this training really is, and they won't, unless something happens is their life," said Ms. Vileta.

The show demonstrates to Airmen options in case something were to happen to them, a friend or family member.

Sex Signals will be performed at the base theater Aug. 24 at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and again Aug. 25 at 6 a.m., 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

"The annual training helps slow down my work days, which is a good thing," said Ms. Vileta. "My job is to let people know how to handle situations. Sex Signals will let people know the information so that my job is already half done. In a sense, it is not a good day when I am busy."
