Now, the soldier will wait at the base for three months for re-assignment or disqualification. The
soldier, a resident of the center of the country, enlisted in February last year. A training and technical course was transferred to serve in one of the Air Force bases. Prior to her enlistment, she volunteered to serve as a border fighter, but corps commanders urged her to change her placement and become an electrical instructor in the Air Force's technical system.
She acceded to their request, but apparently the corona crisis disrupted the planning, and she was put on a different track and not as a guide claiming "there is no standard."
Then began the adjustment difficulties of the female soldier, who told her family members that "my commander would put me under pressure. He would not let me see a doctor."
During one of the evenings in July 2020, the female soldier fainted five times in less than three hours.
The soldier's commanders ordered a paramedic, who gave her a bullet and sent her to rest.
When asked why she could not see a doctor, they replied that "we can not wake the doctor because he is asleep".
The soldier's family demanded that she be released so that she could see a doctor at a hospital.
At midnight, her family members arrived and collected her for a medical examination at a hospital, but since she arrived without a referral from a military doctor, she had to leave her credit card there to receive treatment.

The day she returned to base, the soldier fainted again.
In her testimony, she said that "they said I should not go into the clinic because I faint because of anxiety and because of the corona. No doctor can examine you. I was also told that the superintendent (mental health officer) is pregnant and she does not meet soldiers because of the corona.
She and the commander of my wing decided that I was fainting due to anxiety. "
According to her family members, the commander and the captain held a telephone conversation, and in the end it was decided to send the soldier to the mental health center in Beer Yaakov.
"In the end, she sent me to a mental institution. Sorry for the word, but that's what it was," the soldier said in her testimony.
"My commander threw me there (a counter-commander, who left the place after a short time - AB).
They explained to me in the emergency room that my commander must stay and give an affidavit, must speak.
I was in the center of Beer Yaakov for seven hours.
Harassed me, in uniform.
People pulled at my hair.
I went through things I was not supposed to go through. "The
soldier's parents insisted on entering the emergency room in Be'er Ya'akov, despite the corona, and received an explanation that the soldier must see a doctor before she is examined by a psychiatrist." I arrived in Be'er Ya'akov.
There were difficult cases.
She was horrified by it, she was in shock that she had come to such a place.
I was broken and devastated, "said the mother.
