It was an ordinary barracks afternoon, and the hot sun cast dappled light and shadows through the barracks windows.
Suddenly, the squad leader suddenly blew everyone's addiction to alcohol, saying that he had a unique drunkard trick, and everyone rushed to ask him to teach him.
Seeing him so embarrassed, everyone laughed, and the serious image of the squad leader disappeared in an instant.
The next day, the squad leader was very impatient when he returned to the company, and he was dictating everything. The deputy squad leader on the side secretly told me that the squad leader drank a little too much last night and hooked up with the head nurse of the resident hospital.
As the days passed, the squad leader's status in the company slowly declined, and the soldiers' reverence for him gradually disappeared.
The leaders began to have reservations about him, and everyone thought that he was no longer suitable for the position of squad leader.
Until one day, a veteran recommended the squad leader to participate in wilderness survival training, and the squad leader regained his self-confidence and resilience in the training, and also felt the care of the army for him.
The original decadence and arrogance have disappeared with the passage of time. One night, my class president and I talked about that experience in the dormitory, "I saw the tenacity in those eyes for the first time."
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment before continuing, "Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for those days in the wild, I would probably never have understood these ...... for the rest of my life."
But at this moment, the company suddenly received an urgent order to immediately set off on a mission. The performance of the squad leader has also become a reason for everyone to be reassured.
The team quickly assembled and set off on a mission. As we marched, we were attacked by surprise, and a fierce battle devastated our spirits.
After returning to the unit, the squad leader was seriously injured and needed a long recuperation.
During this time, I noticed that the squad leader became extraordinarily depressed. As he fiddled with the books in his hand in the recuperation room, he said to me, "Actually, I regret that I did something laughable when I was drunk."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door of the retreat room, and a young woman in a military uniform appeared at the door.
The woman said with a soft smile. The squad leader's expression instantly became guilty, and a misunderstanding between him and the woman opened up a new scene.
As the squad leader gradually recovers from his injuries, his relationship with the head nurse gradually becomes clearer. But the squad leader's family did not agree with their affection.
I advised him, "You have to be strong and believe in your choices." Family pressures are important, but your future is also something you need to fight for.
His eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door of the recuperation room, and an old officer appeared at the door. "Squad leader, I'm your father, and I know how confused you are right now.
You have to have a clear mind and not let your emotions get carried away. The squad leader nodded silently, tears flickering in his eyes.
Now, the squad leader has to choose between the pressure of his family and his own feelings. It's a difficult choice, how will he face it, and where will he go?
Soon, we arrived at the mission location. In the tense task, the squad leader showed great composure and decisiveness, and successfully led us to complete the task.
The squad leader also took the initiative to invite everyone to share his growth experience.
However, at this moment, the squad leader received a phone call, and his expression instantly became complicated. It turned out that a big incident had happened in the family, his father was sick and needed him to rush back to take care of him.
The squad leader told us that his father had always been his pride and was once an excellent soldier in the army. However, in recent years, his father's physical condition has not been good, and he has always suffered from sin in his bones - the trauma of war and strict military training have caused his body to resentment early on.
The squad leader's eyes revealed great anxiety and worry, and he didn't know what to do next.
Faced with this, the squad leader hesitated, on the one hand, he wanted to go home as soon as possible to take care of his father, but on the other hand, he couldn't bear to put down the work in hand, which put him in a dilemma.
I comforted him and said that the army has rules and holidays to be asked for, but the family needs his care and attention.
With my support and encouragement, the squad leader finally made a decision, he asked his superiors for a short vacation, put down his work, and flew back to his hometown.
I silently prayed for a speedy recovery for his father.
In the days since I left, I often thought about the situation of the class leader and his father. His return home did cause some inconvenience to the whole company, but everyone understood his choice.
When I heard the news, I was stunned. I know that this is definitely a huge blow to the squad leader, who is understandably highly nervous about his father's condition.
