Goddamn, Nicque told NO lies. This could segue into a totally different thread based on this very topic.
She reminds me of another Latin Sista from my last Battalion. She went through even worse shit and it fell on deaf ears to protect CACs and the shit went on out in the open. She and I were as thick as thieves but were in different Units.
I was a Unit Victim Advocate and EO NCO and that morphed into the SHARP program. She also became a SHARP coordinator and she told us what she'd gone through during our training and certification with receipts.
There was another chick in MY Unit, White chick, who went through that same shit at the hand of our Battalion Commander, and SHE got promoted and the BC was moved around like a Catholic priest.
When I had sleep apnea from combat stress and PTSD moments, it was met with a "Big whoop, so does everyone else," attitude.
I could go on and on about this shit and dealing with the VA after the fact. I had to deal with a few hurdles, but if not for my record and awards, I'd probably still be fighting for compensation.
