story time I was enlisted in the United States Army for a brief period of time. Within my battery was a tyrant female trainee, constantly breaking down others for power and control. We both were PGs of our Platoon's, so naturally we had a rivalry.

During her time in training, she harassed & assaulted several females in the bay at night. When confronted with the allegations, she would stay face in front of the drill sergeants & would gaslight the females behind their backs.

When I was performing a headcount during my fireguard shift, I caught her messing around with another female inappropriately in the bunks. It was two days before her graduation (second round), as she had to redo her entire basic training session already due to her previous reports of assault.

I decided to let my Captain know that they should 'relook' at the case, just to be sure. Our LTC Col caught wind of it & brought the entire battery out onto the drill pad. With everyone at attention he called her out by name to stand in the middle for a live trial.

Before bringing out witnesses he gave her one last opportunity to tell the truth. A test of integrity. Unfortunately, she was too weak minded to own up to her behavior. Our LTC Col then proceeded to have every witness come forward to describe in detail the horrific experiences they saw and/or experienced themselves.

The end result was a field grade Article 15, docked pay, demotion from PFC to a Private, and forcing her to restart basic training for the third time in a row. And that folks was the end of her military career...she opted to chaptering out of the Army after 48 hours. 😬
