Military career
She entered the Aisling Naval Service in 1989 at the age of 19, and remained in the service for six years. After completing basic training, she was selected for training to become a sonar technician. Since she accepted the position, she was required to serve at least two additional years in the Aisling Navy on top of her four year commitment to qualify to receive political franchise. She completed training in 1990, she was promoted to the rank of Marinero and assigned to the BNABeannaithe, a Onil-class minehunter.
During her time aboard the Beannaithe, she was brought up on charges for striking a superior officer. According to her testimony, while the ship was at sea, the ships engineering officer, Leifteanant Antoni Castro cornered her in the vessels fo'c'sle and attempted to sexually assault her. She stated that Castro had been overly flirtatious with her since the the start of the vessels deployment two weeks ago, and had become more forceful in his demands for her affection. Addie admitted to striking Castro, but only in self defense. The captain of the Beannaithe, Leifteanant-ceannfort Valerie Heffern confined Castro to his quarters, and had Addie transferred to one of the vessels small storage rooms, as the vessel did not have a proper brig. Leifteanant-ceannfort Heffern, after interviewing both parties, invoked her right as the highest ranking officer in the vicinity, to sit in judgement on the matter, as opposed to remanding Addie for general court martial. The right for ship captains to act as an arbitrary authority in all matters of discipline calls back to the age of sail where a vessel may be extremely far from home and unable to return to remand a suspect to military authorities. Following the proceedings, Heffern pronounced Addie guilty of the charge and sentenced her to five lashes to be issued by the vessels Chief of the Boat and confinement to quarters with no accrued pay for the remainder of the vessels mission. This was the maximum punishment authorized under the Heffern's authority to enforce summary justice. Following the vessels return to port, Leifteanant-ceannfort Heffern was criticized for her handling of the situation by several senior officers who felt the issue should have been remained for general court martial. Heffern appealed to her squadron commander for assistance and explained the situation, countering that her behavior was appropriate, as the vessel had not yet completed its mission in the <> Sea. Castro attempted to appeal the decision and have the issue retired by a naval court on the grounds that Heffern had simply given Addie an easy out, likely favoring her side of the altercation due to both officers being female. However, the appeal was unsuccessful, the appeals court stating that there was insufficient evidence to declare a mistrial, that Addie was punished in a way pursuant to the level of disciplinary proceedings initiated, and that several mitigating circumstances existed, including previous allegations of sexual misconduct in Castro's past and statements taking from the crew of the Beannaithe, regarding his conduct towards Addie during the deployment. Castro was transferred off of the Beannaithe following the conclusion of the appeal.
Though no one serving aboard the Beannaithe at the time made any official comment, several members of her crew, after separating from the Aisling Naval Service, issued statements of support for Addie and Heffern. Many of them had given statements to both Heffern and the appeals court regarding Castro's behavior towards both Addie and other female members of the crew during his time aboard the vessel.

It is extremely likely that, had the appeals court not cleared Hula and/or accepted Castro's appeal, a general court martial should have found Addie guilty and sentenced her to death.
in 1993, Addie received a promotion to the rank of Dalta Mairnéalach and a new assignment about the Fios-class, a Fios-class patrol vessel, where she continued to serve as a sonar technician. She separated from the Navy in 1995
