Esti

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Esti Ginzburg is expected to join the Israeli army this month. The 19-year-old Israeli will perform two years of service, spending her first weeks in basic training before transitioning to a specialty.

Under a headline reading “Private Esti,” Ginzburg told the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot that she “always knew [she] would enlist.”

Featured on the cover of French Elle, Ginzburg isn’t abandoning her career entirely, receiving breaks to continue modeling overseas. Following basic training, Ginzburg will work as a recruiter, speaking to high school students about why they should serve.
