Geneva Cruz now a reservist for Philippine Air Force

Actress-singer Geneva Cruz graduated as a reservist with a rank of sergeant from the Philippine Air Force recently.

On Instagram, Geneva shared her experience on her latest milestone.

"Respect. Loyalty. Honor," she wrote along with a series of photos.

According to her, those were the big words she learned as a kid but never really truly fully grasped, until now.

"I have always been fascinated by the mystique and allure of a soldier's charmed life. There’s something about their aura that’s appealing and engaging to me," she said.

"On the outside, it's easy to romanticize the trimmings—the snappy uniform, the clockwork precision, the gut-busting physical training, and discipline—while at the same time trying to grasp the abstract concepts of heroism, patriotism, and courage on the one hand, and the gore and sheer horror of war and bloodshed on the other."

"Today, I step in my boots and flaunt my badge as a proud member of the Philippine Air Force's reserve command," she declared. "It's been said that the unexamined life is not worth living, and I agree."

"But today, as I grow bolder, wiser, and take up the cudgels for women's empowerment, I say that a meaningful life is worth dying for."

She said that her achievements are for real.

"If you have doubts if I truly deserve this badge... Maybe you should enlist, too; it's time to put your money where your mouth is, and It's never too late to make something out of your life instead of belittling and frowning upon another person’s passions and truth," she said.

"Thank you, Flight Charlie, for the true meaning of brotherhood; I will never forget all of you," she added. "This goes out to my mama in heaven, my children, and me."

"Sergeant Cruz, ready to serve and protect," she added.

In another post, Geneva wrote: "Age is just a number. Don’t let your age, especially anybody, stop you from becoming who God intended you to be."
