OK, this is a sensitive subject for me, and Im sure for all of you who have served your country. Due to my unfortunate personal experience, I have been introduced to a new program that the Army offer soldiers. These people are called Sexual Assault Advocates. A few people (2 at most) are picked from local units to be a liason for such victims. Now I have been dealing with these folks since Sept. of last year. These people havent even completed their training for this position. And until I had come forward with my complaint, I was the first person ever in my state to admitt what I had been thru.
I have to say that I am deeply saddened by my experience. So far they've only proved that they arent really there for the victims. The advocate for the Army. This is very unfortunate because this has greatly affected my decision to exit the military.
I feel it is very unfortunate that so many people who raise their hand to defend their country end up in situations such as mine. And of course you cant expect the military to back you up. Army of one my arse.
I guess I was just hoping someone could shed some light if they have similar experiences.

This is the sad part about this. Until recently, women where expected to suck it up and not whine about rape in the armed forces. I know here many women have been treated very badly by higher authorities.

I would advise you to talk to a lay facility about this, Mystic. I know there are many associations that deal with this everywhere. Maybe if one of those experianced councilors worked with the military Advocates they might have more compassion and understanding of the affect this has on people.

I am sorry for your pain, sweetie.

I wish you healing of your heart and spirit.

Peace and Blessings to you.

Ty Jangel. I dont want pity from this. Yes it did ruin me for a while, but those two men actually made me stronger. This happened back in March of last year. The local police have done nothing, and as of yet, neither has the Army...

So for all of you who can relate to this thread, I feel for you.
Advice and comments are very welcome. Or if you'd just like to shoot the shit about it, PM me!
