Action has been taken
Although there were no high scores during the strength tests at “Kompani Lauritzen”, Ishmael can be said to have chosen to take action since signing up for Netavichen.
With a reality check that the muscles in his stomach and arms were not as strong as he had imagined, Ismail now began to do more strength training.
– I have actually done a lot of strength training since I was at “Kompani Lauritzen”. To meet himself at the door that way, it leads to some changes, and Ismail says yes, smiling.
Ismail says that he looks back on “Kompanie Lauritzen” as a challenging time, but does not hide that the many trials that the recruits had to overcome did him a lot of good.
– It cost me a lot to implement many of the things I did there, but every time I did something, I was very proud of what I did and what I tried. I took that pride with me.
