Her post is about what it's like to study when you're 33. She's enrolled at the German Armed Forces' University, prepping to be an officer.
 
Georgian Junker ( officer cadet ).

Fun fact: The term was adopted by the The Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1918 and is officialy used again since 2014.

That's quite interesting, at least to me. Junker is the equivalent German officer candidate rank, the term literally means "squire" in the sense of a man-at-arms who has not yet been knighted. How did that term end up in Georgia?

Indeed. It is German and originaly stood for young nobleman / squire who was yet to receive the accolade. Junker - Jungherr - Junger Herr = young lord. Later on it gained various meaning and political weight, decicively in Prussia and the German Empire. German militaries used the term Fahnenjunker. The Bundeswehr still does.

How did that term end up in Georgia?

Imperial Russia adopted 'Junker' in 1864, when they built their first officer schools. It was simply derived from German. Georgian principalities were at the time subjugated and part of the empire. Georgia was also a German protectorate in 1918 and received military aid in the form of troops and advisors, like General Friedrich Kreß von Kressenstein. They significantly contributed in the creation of an army, that later fought against the Soviet invasion in 1921.

The Georgian government decided to continue using the term Junker, in order to honour the cadets who fought and fell in that war.
