You knew\u2026 no but you knew first\u2026 no but you knew more detail\u2026 no but you should have known\u2026 The reality is that you all knew. And if you think you didn\u2019t, think again. The sexual misconduct incidents recently exposed are a reflection of our own culture. And the issues in the Canadian military are not something that has suddenly come to light. There are class action lawsuits, previous high-level investigations, external reports, media expos\u00e9s, and the list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>I served. For almost 21 years, I served as both a soldier and an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. I retired years ago and have since watched and hoped for substantial change every time there was another class action lawsuit, external review, or media expos\u00e9; and every time, my na\u00efve hope went again unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>So now an ex-chief of defence staff (head of the military) and his replacement are both under investigation for sexual misconduct. The current chief of defence staff is having to backtrack on his very recent and vocal support of another general who gave a character reference at the sentencing of a soldier convicted of two sexual assaults. Am I surprised that the focus is on the political who knew what when? Not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Canadian Armed Forces\/Department of National Defence Sexual Misconduct Class Action was settled. This allows for anyone who experienced sexual misconduct while serving between April 1985 and November 2019 to make a claim. I learned of this by chance when I read a newsletter intended for serving members. Since that would include just about every woman who served during those years, many of whom are now veterans, I reached out to a number of those I knew. None of them had been notified or even knew about the class action settlement. Veteran\u2019s Affairs Canada, which issues our pensions and thus has all of our contact details, had not notified anyone of the settlement that is likely to affect them. Over the past year I have written to Veteran\u2019s Affairs twice asking what is being done to notify veterans who served during this time. As of the date of writing this article, I have not received a response.<\/p>\n<p>I have submitted a claim under this class action settlement. It covers the latter half of my service. During the time I served, sexual misconduct was basically a condition of service. Put up with it or face the consequences. I witnessed the consequences for other women, and so I put up with it. The incidents I outlined in my submission were just a snapshot of my experience as a woman in the military during those years. To recount every verbal or physical sexual misconduct would, basically, be to recount every day of my military career.<\/p>\n<p>This is my story and the story of so many women, many still serving. Yet right now, if I am to believe what I see and read in the media, the most important issue is who knew what when. Did Harper know first, did Trudeau know everything, did the chief of staff tell the PM, what did the minister of national defence know and when, who knew or said something in this committee or that? Let\u2019s be real: the most recently exposed sexual misconducts in the military are nothing new; it has been endemic for years and we have all known about it, but it just hasn\u2019t ever made it to the top of any government\u2019s to-do list.<\/p>\n<p>What do I want? I want us to stop focusing on who knew what when and focus on what happened to real people. I want to see true leadership and change. Start with having an external investigative service to investigate sexual misconduct in the military. We all know that there needs to be independence in these investigations, and we know about the need for discipline and the chain of command in the military. And by the way, I served with the military police who are charged with conducting these investigations. It is a well-trained police force but that does not change the conflict of interest and pressure from on high that so often accompanies these investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Please, if you were considering it, don\u2019t put a comment to this article that says, you are sorry for what happened to me or tell me I am brave or courageous for writing this. Don\u2019t patronize, don\u2019t be sorry; change or be the vehicle of change in our culture. Change the culture in our society that makes sexual misconduct the minefield that most women navigate every day in the workplace. The military has its own issues of rank and discipline which allow for a level of abuse of authority not found in many workforces, however, make no mistake, the Canadian Forces is a reflection of the culture of Canada. These are Canadians acting the way Canadians act. And the convenience of the hierarchical structure is just an additional opportunity for the same misogyny and privilege that is embedded in the culture of our society.<\/p>\n<p>You might ask, why did I stay for almost 21 years? Easy\u2014I loved my job, I loved serving my country, I was good at what I did, and I wanted to be a catalyst for change for the women that would follow. I was but, sadly, it wasn\u2019t enough to change the culture. I still believed in what I was doing enough to stay and enough to write about it now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97550 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/Nancy-Osborne-headshot-May-2021.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/Nancy-Osborne-headshot-May-2021-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/Nancy-Osborne-headshot-May-2021.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>In 1975 at the age of 17, Nancy Osborne joined the Canadian Forces as a private and was among the first few women in a previously male-only branch.
