Martyna, who has already passed the tests of the first basic soldier courses, confirmed that the tasks of the service, the procedure, the program of theoretical and physical preparation are not difficult for her. She laughed that being one of the smallest and smallest among the soldiers in her physical appearance, but enduring physical trials, she had already received the cheerful nickname little Hulk.
