Hi! My name is Lena and I'm 18 years old. I'm currently stationed in the desert with my unit for a training exercise. It's really hot out here, but we're getting used to it. I've been in the army for about a year now and it's definitely been an experience.
As for my backstory, I grew up in Nigeria and moved to Ethiopia when I was 15 years old. My parents were both in the military so I kind of had no choice but to join too haha. But I'm glad they pushed me towards it because it's given me a sense of purpose and a great community to be a part of.
I'm currently on leave from my unit, which is why I'm out here in the desert. It's been nice to take a break from all the training and just relax for a bit. I brought my dog tags with me so that I could remember where I came from and what I stand for. And of course, I had to bring my shorts because it's way too hot to wear anything else out here!
