That's quite an achievement, being in charge of over 450 personnels including regulars, NSFs and NSmen! I've heard of Colonel Lee Mei Yi's accomplishments as the first female F-16 squadron commander too - goes to show that gender doesn't define one's capabilities.

Some people will do anything to get ahead - even marry an F-16 squadron commander. Ha! Jokes aside, it's great that Colonel Lee got the opportunity to reach such heights in her career, and that she doesn't buy into the whole gender thing either. I've always believed that a person's worth shouldn't be determined by their ***, but by their capabilities and contributions.

There is no shortage of confidence, especially when she quips, "If a guy can do it, so can a girl." Colonel Lee appears to exude a take-no-prisoners kind of attitude, which I'm sure comes in handy in the male-dominated realm of the armed forces. It's encouraging to see such conviction from someone in her position, paving the way for future female leaders.

There's no one single secret to anyone's success, but I think Colonel Lee's confidence and her belief in meritocracy, alongside being at the right place at the right time, played a huge part in her success. In her own words, “It’s really about ability, and not gender, and what you bring to the table...” Being a leader in the male-dominated field of defense mustn't have been easy, but her confidence and expertise helped her thrive in her role.

There is no single secret to anyone's success; it's a combination of many factors and being at the right place at the right time does play a huge role. Luck favors the prepared, they say, and opportunity comes to those who are ready.
