Isn't she something?
It is a career that could end tragically in war but nevertheless, one that fills her heart with satisfaction and a deep sense of accomplishment.
That aside, do not let that pretty face fool you, Mwololo is trained in combatives and is as good as any other soldier if not better.
She has not been to battle yet but she hopes to go fighting soon.
Asked on how she joined the army, Mwololo told NAIJ.com that she just filled her application paper work and got selected. It was that simple. All she needed was meet the expectations outlined in the paper work and she did.
Working in the army has given her job security, happiness, professional advancement, excellent social status and of course, the monetary perks.
She misses her extended family in Kenya and occasionally travels to Kenya to visit them.
She is not married yet and doesn't have any kids. She refused to divulge the characteristics of her ideal man.
