Hello,
An incident has occured, which leads me to be worried about going Reg Force.
I am a reservist that did the paperwork for a CT to the Reg Force. I do not have much reserves experience (just SQ qualified). I have only been a part of my current unit for about 4 months so when I was invited to attend a barnight to watch a hockey game I thought this would be a good chance to get to know the unit members before I get an offer from Reg Force.
Long story short, I was physically assaulted (hit, NOT sexually assaulted) by a fellow soldier because I was not responding to his sexual invitations while 2 female soldiers (a cpl, and a sgt) and 3 male higher ranks (a pte, mcpl and a sgt) watched on.
I just left feeling disgusted and confused. I do not feel I did anything to trigger this other then being new to the unit. While on course and parading I am very professional and I "know my shit."
While speaking to another soldier from another unit, I was basically told "Shit happens, if you can't handle the reserves you can't handle reg force."
-Can I put in a memo for physical assault even though this did not take place on parade night?
-What are the changes of anything being done about that considering I went there of my own will, and that several members of the unit was present?
-Do things like this happen regularily on Reg Force bases?
-Was I at the wrong place at the wrong time or is this something I would regularily have to deal with?
I am questioning whether or not I should go through with a CT.
Iapologize for not doing a search and for ranting, but I really need any advice I can get right about now. I don't have enough military experience to objectively deal with this situation.
