Throughout the intense 30-day training, Nadia discovered strengths and abilities she never thought possible at the age of 52. “I learned about patience, I learned about myself, my limits. I never thought na at 52 I never thought I can do all these things... lahat ng pinagdaan namin sa barko, mga training, at siyempre 'yung mga mapping, mga rifle combat, and all others. It was just something I never thought I could do at this age and no regrets talaga,” she said, describing the physical and mental challenges she overcame.

Nadia also expressed profound gratitude towards her family, especially her children, for their unwavering support. “All out talaga I missed them pero all-out talaga and sabi ko nga 'I'm packing all my packed dreams,' so I never thought that I would be able to do this for my country,” she said, acknowledging the significant role her family played in her journey.
