Justin UG speaks about military training
Reflecting on his new achievement, the actor admitted that he never imagined himself pursuing a military career.
“If you had told me a few years ago that I’d one day be wearing this uniform, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. This was never a path I imagined for myself, but here we are,” he wrote.
However, getting to the graduation stage was far from easy.
Justin described the training as physically and mentally demanding, saying the past few weeks had tested him in ways he had never experienced before.
“The past few weeks have been some of the most mentally and physically challenging weeks of my life,” he added.

“Would I want to do it all over again? Absolutely not. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything,” he said.
