Read on to find out what pushed Vickie Rushton to enlist as a Navy Reservist.
Actress and beauty pageant titleholder Vickie Rushton-Abalos proves that she's more than just a pretty face as she joins the Navy as a fellow reservist with her husband Jason Abalos.
In an Instagram post, Jason expressed how proud he is of his wife for being a fellow Navy Reservist, saying that it's always better doing things together.
“Always better together! I'm so proud of my wife for doing this. We are now officially Philippine Navy Reservists! Hooyah!” he said.
In her own Instagram post, Vickie thanked her husband for allowing her to join the Navy Reserves, saying she's happy to have graduated with him despite being in separate classes.
“Thank you for supporting me and for encouraging me. Nakaya ko ang lahat ng to dahil sa tiwala mo na kaya ko din gawin to. I love you, Baba!” she said.
As the name suggests, Navy Reservists are the Philippine Navy reserve forces. It provides ordinary citizens the chance to serve on a part-time basis and can lead a full-time civilian life, career, or education until they are called for active duty.
In her post, Vickie admitted that being a reservist is “way out of [her] comfort zone” and because of it, has discovered many things about herself including her strength.
She also said that being a Navy Reservist is “by far the highest and most meaningful achievement” she had made so far.
“Honestly, I just wanted to work with different organizations where I can help and serve but who would have thought that I will be a full-fledged Philippine Navy Reservist?” she added.
She then thanked the officers who trained them for pushing her and her batchmates “beyond [their] limits” and for the skills and knowledge they received.
She added, “To my batchmates, eto na ngaaa. Mahal na mahal ko kayo. Willing ako ulitin lahat ng ito kung kayo pa din ang kasama ko.”
Aside from Vicki and Jason, other Kapuso stars such as Rocco Nacino and Dingdong Dantes, who is a Lieutenant Commander, are also Navy Reservists.
