A lot of people ask me why I want to be a soldier
This question is in my head
It hovered for a long time
Now I can answer firmly
For dreams, for growth
In order not to live up to youth
……
These are Li Xian's heartfelt words
What an experience
Make her so determined
From infancy to maturity
What happened to her again
The following follows the lens of the editor
Let's take a look at her military journey
Childish Chapter:
My original intention of joining the army
When I was a child, I didn't think about being a soldier, and when I was in military training in high school, I was inexplicably attracted by the camouflage green of the instructor. On September 3, 2015, at the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, I watched the uniform phalanx walk through Tiananmen Square, and since then, that camouflage green has been deeply rooted in my heart. With this vision, I secretly decided to study hard, but unexpectedly there was no quota for the liberal arts to apply for military schools, so I lost my hand in military uniforms.
College life seemed to be something I could see at a glance, and the fresh, exciting, unknown military service tempted me tremendously. The ambition of the heart determines the direction of the foot. I went to the counselors and the leaders of the Armed Forces Department and told them of my wishes, and the teacher was very supportive and accompanied me through the registration for military service and the registration for joining the army.
In the summer of 2019, I passed the conscription physical examination, began to prepare materials, exercised, and although busy, it was exceptionally fulfilling. At the beginning of September, I got the enlistment notice and resolutely stepped on the train to the military camp to realize my dream of military service...
Ignorance:
My recruit routine
After coming to the army, strict discipline, strict management, strict style and imaginary life are the same.
3 months of life in the recruit company, painful and happy. In life, the high standard of housekeeping and hygiene, on the training ground, a single soldier queue action, grenade throwing, 3000 meters running, sit-ups, health care, shooting and other subjects followed.
We were trained together, injured, and divided into steamed buns... Moving forward for the same goal. Water your dreams with sweat and bloom your barracks with youth. In three months, we "broke through the cocoon into butterflies", changed from hippie smiley faces to seriousness, changed our life style from disorganized to uniform, and gradually grew from ignorant local youth to a qualified soldier. At the award ceremony, the moment I wore the "one crutch" epaulettes, I was not only excited in my heart, but also a little more respectful, and I truly became a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Mission:
My voice grows
After the next connection, we began to train professionally in traffic. I often listen to the class leader: If you want to become a qualified operator, you must go through three levels.
Level 1: Back number. Name, title... Within a month, the homemade number book was turned over by me, and the memorized calculus paper was one after another, and the kung fu paid off, and I finally succeeded in qualifying.
Level 2: Typing. Completely unfamiliar with the five strokes, from the root memorization to memorizing the key position to the word splitting learning, from the first-level shortcode to the common words to the phrase article, experienced countless days and nights with the keyboard, the fingers were worn out and the teeth insisted, and finally I passed the examination of brain and hand skills.
The third level: go on the machine and follow the shift. Service language, function key operation, answer number, handle faults, transfer and check number, listen to the sound and recognize people... With unremitting efforts, I successfully passed the brain, hand, mouth, ear and check-in assessments, became a telephone operator, and also had my own code name - 36, which can independently guarantee the telephone business at all levels.
Behind the phrase "Hello, 36" is 8 months of unremitting efforts.
Expansion:
My colorful female soldier ballad
According to the instructions of the leaders at higher levels, the female soldier detachment dispatched theoretical backbones to set up the "Binglinghua" theoretical light cavalry propaganda group to give supplementary lessons to various small scattered units and duty stations, and I had the honor to be one of them.
Based on the existing materials and combined with our own experience, we explained theoretical knowledge to officers and soldiers, reviewed warning cases, and conveyed the spirit of President Xi's "July 1st" important speech. The meetings and theoretical lectures of officers and men have been well received by the broad masses of officers and men and have also been praised by leaders at higher levels.
To become a qualified female soldier, in addition to being professionally good, there can be no less business trips, camp greening, and literary and artistic performances. When rehearsing the "Army Soul Forever Stationed and Sailing Again" veteran veteran theatrical performance, we often practiced until the middle of the night, and we also thought about giving up, but the tempering of two years of military career made me persist. When I saw the happy smiles on the faces of my comrades-in-arms during the performance, I felt that all the efforts and efforts were worth it.
Oath:
My new journey
Looking back on the two years of military career, bitterness and laughter are intertwined, and pain and harvest coexist. The 75 centimeters are neat and consistent, the steps are sonorous; the best efforts on the training ground are in full swing; the trust and support between comrades-in-arms is as deep as the sea. The most beautiful youth, accompanied by green military uniforms, I never regret it.
Facing the future, I will cherish the spring light
Always remember the original essence
Live up to the time and try to move forward
