I Hate Fakes
so every one who havnt met this person yet they keep posting this and it angers me alot because she makes her self a impossible person. so im going to explain why its impossible.
bit of background on me. im 14, from japan and a black belt in karate and have been training for 10 years. a quarter-finalist in a regional tournament. so this is the persons claims
[quote]o hey, im Mika.
My story here is a bit long, so if you want to read it it would be awesome.
First, im not 20 as my profile shows, im 16.
I wrote 20 so anyone can see my profile and not only 50% of the web site.
.
As you read above, im in the Italian army as a combat officer-commander.
.
It started when i was 12, few officers from the army saw me participating in a martial arts tournamnet in my local city. .(yes, i practice martial arts and i have 5 black belts).
I won that tournament. The opponents were all men (and older).
.
These officers later spoke with my parents and me, and they asked to put me in a "pilot" ("experiment") in the army thanks to my martial arts skills.
.
The course was simple, i can get out anytime i want, and it includes lots of military trainings and navigations.
If i pass it, i recive ranks and became a combat unit commander.
Even tho im a girl and even tho im young (in the end of the training course i became 16).
.
I agreed, and i was in that course for almost 4 years.
Sience a bit after i was 12- almost till i became 16.
The first 10 monthes were only learning, and completing all what i will miss in school.
And the 3 years after were military training.
It was hard, but i passed it. They let me start the combat officers course with the men.
We started 80 people (me and 79 men) and when it was over, i was 2 men + me who passed and recived the ranks.
.
I cant tell much about they course itself,but it involves a lot of hand to hand combat, shooting, navigating and survival.
.
In these 3 years i went home only 30 times, 1 time per 1-2 monthes.
The rest was training in the base.
I was shocked i made it, and i recived my ranks.
The rank is similar to "first liutenent" in some armies and "captain" in other armies.
.
And after i recived the ranks, i recived a unit to command.
For example, Its a similar unit to "sas" of britain and "yamam" in Israel.
.
In the beginning it was a bit wierd both for me and for the soldiers.
That unit is a men only unit and im the first woman to be there, and as a commander.
And the soldoers i command are 20-28 years old so it was a bit hard for them at the begining i guess. (The unit has few squads, and i command one of these squads.) And my squad is 20 men. 17 soldiers, 2 officers+me.
I was surprised that all these men accepted me as there commander very fast. Much faster then i thought.
I do this job for almost a year now.
.
So now im the only female in army in such age (no men or women allow to join the army here before 18, my case was extremely unusuall), and also only female in that special unit.
.
.
If you were one of these men, youd be ok with that? Or ask to move out of the unit cuz the commander is a young woman?
.
Do you think its ok that i do this job? Just curious :).
.
.
If you have any type of question,feel free to ask me in a message here :).[/quote]
first at 12 to have 5 black belts would put her at the 5th dan and would take about 10 years after getting the first black belt. and to people like me its insulting to claim that.
second in any martial arts tournaments in any level are split up in 2 ways first is by age brackets for childern or by weight. the second way they split it up is by gender. so she wont have taken on loads of men all older. one she would be on the edge of 2 age brackets and where she may have been pushed into the olded bracket she wont have been going against adults due to the weight difference.
third and i think this is common sense the army wont pick a 12 year old from a local compertion they would pick a national level martial artist thats at least 18.
sorry for long post it really angered me.
