美女從軍,以為能盡享男性同袍呵護?對英格蘭小姐卡翠娜霍吉(Katrina Hodge)來說,顯然是大錯特錯。她近日向媒體訴說當年從軍辛酸,男性同袍不僅不會憐香惜玉,還因眼紅和歧視而欺凌她,高層也對她的處境愛理不理,逼使她從軍12年後退役。
 
《鏡報》報導,霍吉17歲入伍,第一天她戴假睫毛穿高跟鞋,還拉著粉紅色行李箱進入薩里郡( Surrey)的軍營,已慘遭同袍謔稱是「戰鬥芭比」。不過她的女性形象其實不影響她的戰鬥力,翌年她在伊拉克服役期間,押送叛軍時遇上車禍,一名叛軍想奪槍,她一拳打向他的臉逼使對方放下武器,勇救五名同袍。
 
可惜英勇行為未令同袍對她另眼相看,反而因上級嘉許引發同袍的嫉妒之情,「那時開始欺凌不斷」。她說有一群同袍認為她僅因女性身份而獲嘉許,恨之入骨,誣衊她誇大當時情況,即使有人證,他們仍堅稱她「大說謊家」、「蕩婦」等。
 
她雖然曾向上級反映,但上司愛理不理,也未正式調查,結果欺凌變本加厲,有次她到軍營餐廳,更有人拿一罐汽水擲向她的頭,「我沒有在眾人面前哭,但回到房中即痛哭一場」,自此她也不敢再到餐廳吃飯,怕事件重演。
 
2009年,霍吉毅然參選英格蘭小姐,盼藉知名度鼓勵更多少女從軍,但情況卻更糟,「有些軍人根本不認識我就批判我,認定我一定是傲慢自負,沒給我機會展示我其實一如常人,絕無架子」。
 
2015年,霍吉晉升下士,但終於受夠軍中歧視決定退役,轉行從事金融業,但偶爾也有舊同袍仍不放過她,在網上揶揄她。如今她決定公開當年的「地獄經歷」,鼓勵軍中的姊妹別再隱忍,她說:「2018年了,這樣貶低女性的做法實在已不為人所接受,這是不折不扣的性別歧視。」她說目前軍方處理手法可能與當年不同,但肯定「仍有大量改善空間」。
 
軍方則回應稱,軍方認真應對所有欺凌指控,表明「若發現任何人不符我們的嚴格標準,肯定會採取行動處理」。(國際中心/綜合外電報導)

Corporal Katrina Hodge (born 29 March 1987) is a serving member of the British Army from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent in south-east England who was Miss England 2009.

Biography[edit]

Born and raised in Tunbridge Wells, she was educated from age 15 at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon.[1] Previously, she had attended Hillview School for Girls in Tonbridge.

Army career[edit]

Challenged by her older brother to join the army, she signed up aged 17. After basic training she was assigned to the Royal Anglian Regiment but as a member of the Adjutant Generals Corps. She reported for duty at their barracks in Winchester, Hampshire, wearingkitten heels, false eyelashes and with her clothes in a pink suitcase, earning her the nickname Combat Barbie.[1]

She was deployed to Iraq in 2005. She rose to fame after it was reported in the British papers in 2005 that she had earned a commendation for her bravery[2][3] whilst serving with the Royal Anglian Regiment in Iraq for wrestling two rifles from a prisoner following a road traffic accident (unconfirmed) and disputed by fellow servicemen. She was promoted tolance corporal.

Modelling[edit]

Hodge was signed up by lingerie firm La Senza in 2009. Originally she was the runner up in the 2009 Miss England competition,[4][5] but became Miss England on 7 November 2009 when the pageant winner Rachel Christie stepped down after she was involved in a fight. She only had 48 hours to prepare before taking part in the 59th Miss World pageant held in South Africa.[6]

As Miss England, Hodge managed to persuade the organisers to remove the bikini round from the Miss England competition. This, she said, would change people's views of beauty pageants, from being just about looks and more about the girl. Hodge said "To be Miss England you don't have to be the girl who looks best in a swimsuit, thankfully it's much more than that, it's about being a good role model". The bikini round of the 2010 competition was removed and replaced with a sportswear round. Given six months leave by the Army, she was the front person for dating site Uniform Dating, which specifically aims to help uniformed personnel find love.[1]

Return to army[edit]

Hodge handed over the Miss England crown to Jessica Linley in September 2010, and returned to active duty in the Army.[7] After various training exercises, Hodge deployed toAfghanistan in early 2011.[8]

Book[edit]

Hodge has a book called "Combats to Catwalk" which tells the story of how she went from Army Soldier to Beauty Queen.[9]
