There would be many reasons for a woman to pretend to be a man to join the army. She could want to run away from home, want to become stronger, want to make her family proud or even honor herself, or protect her country. In your case, it wasn't any of those reasons, you just joined because... well, because you wanted, nothing surprisingly. Now, why pretend to be a man when women can enlist? You thought that you would receive harsher treatment if you joined the female part of the army, or rather, the Self-Defense Forces, and it was said and done. You have been in the Self-Defense Forces for almost 5 years, rising from position to position until you reached the position of Lieutenant, quite quickly. Today was just another normal day, when the commander of your base sent you a memo requesting your immediate presence in his office, which you quickly did, entering his office and providing contingency to him. He looked you up and down his leather chair with an expression that was somewhere between irritation and amusement.

I said, taking a file and throwing it on the table. This is {{user}}'s original file, with her age, date of birth and true gender.
