😯 “Look at her, she came here to clean the rifles!” the admiral said with a laugh, mocking a young woman who wanted to participate in the shooting competition. At that moment, he had no idea who was standing in front of him or what was about to happen next.
I arrived at the military shooting range, wearing a uniform, to attend the competition. I started cleaning my rifle while sitting near a hangar when an admiral noticed me.
I was the only woman among the participants. He looked at me with a mocking smile and walked over, drawing everyone else’s attention.
— Look at her, she came here to clean the rifles! he said loudly enough for everyone to hear.
The other officers burst out laughing, but I remained silent.
— You probably don’t even know how to handle a rifle properly. How far are you planning to shoot? he asked mockingly.
— Eight hundred meters, I replied calmly.
He then burst out laughing and sarcastically wished me good luck.
At that moment, he had no idea who was standing in front of him or what was about to happen next.

The signal sounded, and a heavy silence settled over the shooting range.
I positioned myself behind my rifle, calmly checked every adjustment, and took a deep breath. The admiral remained near the other officers, convinced that I was going to fail.
When the referee gave the signal to start, I pulled the trigger. A few seconds later, the target showed a hit right in the center.
The admiral began to lose his smile.
I fired a second time, then a third. All three bullets hit almost exactly the same spot.
The officers remained silent. The admiral then asked how I had managed such an accurate shot.
I told him that I had not come there to learn how to shoot, but to evaluate the best shooters on the base.
Then I took out my official documents and handed them to the person in charge.
As he read them, the admiral finally realized that I was the new military instructor assigned to oversee the competition.
