I AM LOOKING FOR OTHER VETRANS THAT WERE SEXUALY ASSULTED IN THE MILITARY
 
Hi Michael,

Something you might think about is contacting some of the veterans support organizations and see if they can steer you towards finding others. It may take contacting quite a few of them before you get on the right trail, but it's worth a shot.

I think I've got a link somewhere for an organization that fits the bill.
I'll have a look

I'm sure I've got a link to some organization - somewhere

Hi Michael, I know that there is at least one other on here. but I have not seen him on the board in a long while. I was raped as a kid, not in the military. But I was in the military when I started to have problems. The military was only to glad to get rid of me. They gave me the choice of a admin discharge or get out another way that I was able to get some of my retirement pay. Ether way they wanted me out. I only had three years to go to having my twenty years in the navy.
I think I saw on the news where the VA/military was starting to admit that they did have a problem.
Keep pushing at them, don't stop, you are having a effect on them even if you don't see it right now.

Take care,
Clifford
 
hi micheal!!! i am a navy veteren whose predominant sexual abuse issues are pre-service, but i was sexually humiliated in service not with direct contact but with some very abusive sexual degradations that were done in front of peers and made my trauma worse. sexual abuse among and perpetrated by and toward both sexes is pervasive in the military and the VA has many theraputic programs and groups that address the issue. perhaps you have a strong enough case of being damaged to the point where you can get compensitory benifits, as did i. if so DAV (disabled american veterans) provides very effective and free representation to such veterans. at the very least maybe you should contact the nearest VA facility in your area and look into a therapy group. i participated in one here in upstate NY and it really made me feel a lot better. in any case, as a fellow veteran and sex abuse survivor, my heart goes out to you and i wish you all the best. you deserve it!!!!!!
 
Are you looking for people whose abuse took place in the military? I am an AF vet, but wasnt abused while in the service.
 
Sorry, read the initial post too quickly...you're obviously looking for people assaulted while in the military.
