That day, I was training recruits on the army playground when I suddenly heard a commotion not far away. I hurried over, only to see two soldiers with red faces and red ears, and it seemed that a fight was about to start. The surrounding recruits watched one after another, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Stop!" I shouted, rushing forward to separate the two.
"Platoon commander, he insulted me!" said one of the fighters angrily.
"You do it first!" the other warrior was not to be outdone.
I know that this is the time when you have to be decisive, otherwise things will only get worse. So, I decided to take tough measures to make them realize their mistakes.
"You two, come over to me!" I grimaced, leading them to a corner of the playground.
"Do you know what is the most important thing in a soldier? is discipline! What are you like when you fight like this?!" I reprimanded severely.
The two lowered their heads, not daring to speak back. But I could feel that the anger in their hearts had not subsided.
Suddenly, the warrior who was considered insulting suddenly raised his head and glared at the other party: "I'm just going to hit him!"
It was too late, it was too fast, and I instinctively slapped it: "You dare!"
The atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone was stunned. The warrior covered his face and looked at me in shock. I was also stunned, I didn't expect to start beating the fighters.
After a short silence, the soldier suddenly burst into tears: "Platoon commander, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have beaten people, but I shouldn't have been insulted......"
Looking at him, my heart felt sour. Yes, they are all young people, strong-blooded, and easily impulsive. My slap, although it stopped the fight, also hurt his self-esteem.
I sighed and softened, "Okay, don't cry. You both apologize to me and shake hands. ”
The two looked at each other, then reluctantly apologized and shook hands. The onlookers also dispersed, and the atmosphere on the playground gradually returned to calm.
Afterwards, I talked to the fighter I had beaten to find out what he was thinking. It turned out that the contradictions between them were not overnight, but long-standing grievances. I decided to find an opportunity to help them resolve the conflict.
A few days later, I organized an outdoor outward bound training and deliberately divided them into groups. In the process of completing the task together, they gradually understand each other, and the conflict is resolved.
This incident made me deeply reflect: as a platoon commander, I must not only strictly require the soldiers to abide by discipline, but also care about their ideological dynamics and help them resolve contradictions. In the future work, I will work harder to lead the fighters to grow together.
Now, the two fighters have become friends who talk about everything. Whenever I see them getting along in harmony, I think of the experience of stopping the fight, and my heart is full of emotion. Although I beat the fighters with my hands, I also taught them respect and understanding, and perhaps, this is the price of growth.
As the days passed, life in the army remained tense and orderly. I am very pleased with the change in those two fighters, and their friendship has become a beautiful sight in the team. However, life is always full of surprises.
One weekend, I was sorting through papers in the office when I suddenly received an urgent call-up notice. It turned out that there was a landslide in a nearby village, which required our troops to go to the rescue. I immediately led the soldiers in full gear and set off.
When I arrived at the scene, it was a mess. Fighters threw themselves into the rescue effort, racing against time to find survivors. The two warriors, one digging and the other carrying, worked closely together.
Suddenly, the fighter in charge of the excavation exclaimed: "Platoon commander, there is a person here!"
I hurried over and saw an old man buried in the earth and rocks, his life and death uncertain. We immediately went to the rescue, and the two fighters did their best.
After some efforts, the old man was finally successfully rescued. The warrior in charge of the handling hugged his companion excitedly: "We did it!"
Looking at them, a warm current welled up in my heart. Yes, they are no longer the young people who fight for a little thing, but real fighters who know how to unite and cooperate and save lives.
After the rescue work was completed, our troops were warmly welcomed by the local government and civilians. The two fighters were also awarded third-class merit for their outstanding performance in the rescue operation.
At the celebration party, I said to them with emotion: "You have grown up, and I am proud of you. ”
They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flashing with confidence and gratitude.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, the two soldiers were about to retire. I found them the day before they left the unit.
"You're leaving the army, what are your plans?" I asked.
One of the fighters said: "Platoon commander, I want to go back to my hometown to start a business and help more poor people." ”
Another fighter also stated: "I am ready to take the civil service exam and serve the country and the people." ”
I nodded, relieved. They have found a new direction in life, and I bless them.
On the day of the farewell, the sun was shining. With tears in their eyes, the two warriors gave me their last salute.
"Platoon commander, take care!" they said in unison.
I held back my tears and responded with a smile: "You also have to take care, don't forget, you were once soldiers, and you must always maintain your true colors." ”
They turned to leave, their backs fading into the distance. I stood there and looked in the direction they were leaving, filled with emotion. Yes, they have learned to grow, and I, in the process, have learned how to better lead the fighters forward. It was an unforgettable experience and a testament to our growth together.
The days still passed quietly in the rhythm of the army, and the departure of those two warriors left a deep mark on my heart. Their transformation and growth have made me more convinced that as a soldier, our mission is not only to protect the family and defend the country, but also to convey extraordinary power in the ordinary.
Soon after, the troops received a new assignment, and we had to go to remote areas for a month-long training. This task is arduous and challenging, and I have secretly made up my mind to lead the soldiers to complete this mission with a more rigorous attitude.
During the training days, our lives were closely integrated with training. During a night patrol, we encountered a group of criminals who had crossed the border smuggling. In the face of an unexpected situation, I commanded the soldiers to quickly spread out battle formations and prepare to meet them.
"Platoon commander, what shall we do?" asked a young soldier nervously.
I calmly replied: "It is the duty of our soldiers to act according to the plan and protect the security of the border. ”
In a tense atmosphere, we managed to subdue the criminals and hand them over to the relevant departments for processing. This incident made the soldiers deeply realize the responsibility and glory of being a soldier.
Since then, we have stepped up our patrols along the border. When night falls, I always think of those two fighters, wondering how they are doing now, and whether they are also working hard for their dreams.
One day, I received a letter unexpectedly. When I opened it, it was actually written by one of the two warriors. In the letter, he told me that he had successfully set up an agricultural product processing factory in his hometown, which had led to the local economy and helped many poor families get out of poverty. And another soldier also successfully passed the civil service examination and became a good cadre serving the people.
I looked at the letter, and my heart was warm. Their achievements are the best reward for me. I decided to share this story with the soldiers in the next training session to let them know that we can contribute to society as long as we remain as soldiers, whether in the military or in the local area.
After the sharing session, the soldiers were deeply encouraged and expressed that they would take the two soldiers as an example and carry forward the fine traditions of the soldiers, both in the army and in the society in the future.
Time flies, and the training mission is successfully completed. The moment I returned to the camp, I seemed to see the figures of the two fighters, who came towards me with a smile, as if to say to me: "Platoon commander, we did it." ”
I silently responded in my heart: "Yes, you did it, and I did it." We're all good. ”
At that moment, I deeply realized the pride and glory of being a soldier, and also understood the meaning of growing up. In this era full of challenges and opportunities, we will continue to move forward and write a wonderful chapter for us with the faith and responsibility of soldiers.
With the successful completion of the training mission, we returned to the camp and resumed our daily training and life. However, my mood could not be calmed for a long time. The growth and achievements of those two soldiers have given me a deeper understanding of the mission of the military.
One weekend, I decided to visit the two fighters. They were my soldiers, and now they are my pride. I went to their village and saw the changes they brought to their hometown.
I first went to the home of the soldier who founded the agricultural processing factory. The scale of his processing plant has been considerable, which has led to the employment of surrounding farmers, and the products are exported to all over the country. He received me warmly and told me about his factory and the changes in the village.
"Platoon commander, thank you for your teaching back then, which made me understand responsibility and responsibility. Although I have taken off my military uniform now, the true character of a soldier will not change. He said firmly.
I looked at him with a sense of relief. Not only did he grow up in the military, but he continued to contribute to society after he was discharged from the army.
Then I went to another fighter's house. He has become a local civil servant, helping the villagers solve various problems. He gave me a tour of the village and told me about his work.
"Platoon commander, although I am not in the army now, the spirit and style of the soldier are still with me. I will continue to work hard to serve the villagers and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the country. He said with confidence.
As I listened to his words, a warm current welled up in my heart. They are all practicing the mission of soldiers in their own way and transmitting positive energy.
After saying goodbye to them, I returned to the camp. I think their stories are an encouragement not only to me personally, but also to the entire unit. I have decided to carry out an educational activity on the theme of "Military Mission and Social Responsibility" in the army, so that more soldiers can realize that no matter where they are, we should give full play to the fine traditions of military personnel and contribute to society.
Educational activities are in full swing, and the fighters have participated in public welfare undertakings such as community service and environmental protection actions. Their actions have been widely praised by the community and have made the image of our troops more positive.
Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, I also have to face the choice of retiring from the army. On the day of farewell, I stood under the military flag and solemnly swore an oath: "I will continue to carry forward the fine traditions of the military, contribute to society, and contribute my strength to the prosperity and stability of the country." ”
At that moment, I felt the pride and glory of being a soldier. I believe that no matter where I am in the future, I will bear in mind the mission of military personnel, transmit positive energy to society, and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the country. Because this is our mission and our responsibility.
