Naval Construction Group - 1 Denim Day participants, pose for a photo wearing jeans to raise awareness and promote prevention of sexual assault.
Denim Day takes place on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Denim Day originates from a 1998 Italian Supreme Court ruling in which a rape conviction was overturned. The court suggested the victim must have helped her attacker remove her tight jeans, implying consent. Inspired by these events, Patricia Giggans, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women (now Peace Over Violence), established Denim Day in Los Angeles in 1999
Naval Construction Group One (NCG1) operates from its homeport and serves as the Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) for its assigned forces. NCG1 leads and manages the overall capability and readiness of Naval Construction Regiments (NCR’s), Naval Mobile Construction Battalions (NMCB’s), Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU), and Underwater Construction Team (UCT). NCG1 is responsible for manning, training, equipping and deploying combat-ready Naval Construction Force(NCF) units in support of combatant commanders(CCDRs) and Navy component commander(NCC). NCG1 also provides program management and oversight in support of subordinate units and supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise Force Development (Fd) efforts. NCG1 provides the required engineering support that the Navy and Nation needs to construct and maintain base facilities, repair battle damaged facilities, conduct defensive operations as required, and to meet disaster preparedness and recovery missions.
