In the sixteen years of the army, I have grown from a hairy boy to an iron-clad soldier. Now, there are six paths in front of me, which makes it difficult for me.
That day, the battalion commander came to me and said, "Xiao Chen, your service period is almost over, what are your plans?" ”
I scratched my head: "I haven't thought about it yet, battalion commander." ”
The battalion commander handed me a piece of paper: "Here are six options, you see." ”
I took it and looked at it, and it read: A, demobilized and go home; B. Transfer to a local unit; C. Continue to study in the army; D. Participate in the selection of special forces; E. Become a military instructor; F. Early retirement.
My eyes widened, these six roads, all of them are unknown, all of them are challenges.
The battalion commander saw my hesitation and said, "You go back and think about it, discuss it with your family, and give me an answer in a week." ”
Back in the dorm, I lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was the father of the hometown.
"Son, I heard that you are coming back soon, what are your plans?" There was concern in my father's voice.
"I haven't figured it out yet, Dad." I'll be honest.
"Then you have to think about it, this is related to the rest of your life." Father said earnestly.
I hummed and hung up the phone, but my heart was even more entangled.
In the next few days, I called my friends on six roads, A, B, C, D, E, and F, to hear their opinions.
A said: "It's not bad to go home and live an ordinary life." ”
B said: "Transferred to a local unit, stable, and the treatment is good. ”
C said: "Continue to study in the army, improve your ability, and develop more in the future." ”
D said: "Participate in the selection of special forces, challenge yourself, and win glory for the country." ”
"It is also very meaningful to become a military instructor and train a new generation of soldiers," E said. ”
"Retire early, get a good pension, and enjoy life," F said. ”
Six paths, six suggestions, made me even more confused.
A week later, I went to the battalion commander and told him what I thought.
"Battalion commander, I think each of the six roads has its own merits, and I have consulted many friends, but the more this happens, the more I don't know which path to choose."
The battalion commander smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you are a responsible soldier, I believe you will make the most suitable choice for yourself." Remember, no matter which path you choose, give it your all and move forward. ”
I nodded, and my heart suddenly brightened.
Yes, life is one choice after another, since there is no escape, then face it bravely. I raised my head and looked firmly: "Battalion commander, I decided, I want to ......"
(The story comes to an abrupt end here, leaving the reader with endless room for imagination.) ）
"Participate in the special forces selection." I said in a sonorous voice.
A hint of surprise flashed in the battalion commander's eyes, and then he returned to normal: "Are you sure?" It was a challenging road. ”
I nodded heavily: "After so many years in the army, I have always been eager to challenge myself, and special forces are my dream in my heart. I believe that only after going through the most rigorous selection can I truly become a top soldier. ”
The battalion commander patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, since you have decided, then go all out." However, the selection process is very tough, are you ready? ”
"I'm well prepared and I'm going to stick with it no matter what the odds come my way." I said with confidence.
In the following days, I began the arduous training of special forces selection. Every morning, when others are still asleep, I already get up and start training. Trail running, armed swimming, rock climbing, blasting, every training session pushes my limits.
Once, during a wilderness survival training, my teammates and I lost our way and ran short of food and water. Everyone was exhausted, and someone began to retreat. I looked at them and felt a strong sense of responsibility in my heart: "We can't give up, we must persevere, and we will definitely find a way out." ”
With my encouragement and leadership, we overcame many difficulties and finally got out of the predicament. At that moment, I understood a truth: in the world of special forces, only by facing it bravely can we overcome everything.
The days of selection passed day by day, and my physical and mental fitness were greatly improved. Finally, the day has come when the selection will end.
The battalion commander stood in front of us with a serious expression: "After this period of selection, you have proven your strength. However, the selection of special forces is not only a test of the body, but also a test of will. Now, I announce that the list of members who have passed the selection ......"
I clenched my fists nervously, my heart pounding.
"Chen Yong!" The battalion commander pronounced my name.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy in my heart was like a volcanic eruption. I succeeded, I finally became a special forces!
In the days that followed, I devoted myself to the career of special forces with even more enthusiasm. Although the training was still tough, my belief was stronger. I knew that this was the most important choice of my life and that I had to give it my all and move forward.
And on this challenging road, I firmly believe that as long as you have a dream in your heart, you will have strength under your feet. I will use my hands to write my own special forces legend.
After becoming a special forces, my life changed dramatically. Our training is more rigorous and our tasks are more difficult. Every time you go on a mission, you are challenging the limits of your life.
On that day, we were given an urgent mission: to go behind enemy lines and rescue the kidnapped hostages. This was my first real combat mission after becoming a special forces, and I was both nervous and excited.
Before leaving, the captain said solemnly: "This mission is very dangerous, you must be careful. Remember, behind you are the Motherland and the people, and you are their guardians. ”
I clenched my fists and felt the weight on my shoulders.
As night fell, we crept behind enemy lines. Every step is taken with care, and every turn can be an unknown danger. In an abandoned factory, we found the hostages in captivity.
"Action!" The captain ordered in a low voice.
In an instant, the battle broke out. Bullets shuttled, explosions continued. I worked in perfect harmony with my teammates to take down the enemies one by one. But during the rescue, the captain was unfortunately injured.
"Captain, are you alright?" I asked nervously.
The captain covered his injured shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, leave me alone, evacuate with the hostages!" ”
I understand that at this moment, I cannot hesitate. I took the hostages and led my teammates out of the encirclement. On the way to retreat, I kept looking back, worried about the captain's situation.
Just as we were about to evacuate safely, an enemy suddenly burst out from behind and aimed his gun at me. At this critical moment, the captain stepped forward and blocked the bullet.
"Captain!" I cried out in grief.
The captain looked at me with a smile and said with a faint breath: "Xiao Chen, the task is complete, you are safe......"
I burst into tears and held the captain's hand tightly: "Captain, you must hold on, we will treat you immediately." ”
However, the captain left me forever because of his injuries. At that moment, I understood the responsibilities and sacrifices of being a special soldier.
After the mission, I stood alone in front of the captain's grave, full of respect and guilt. I know that from now on, I will have to be stronger to live up to the expectations of the captain.
Time flows, and the career of a special forces is full of challenges and honors. I have experienced countless trials of life and death, and I have also witnessed the growth and sacrifice of my teammates.
Every time I go on a mission, I am reminded of the captain's teachings: "Special forces are not only a profession, but also a faith." As long as you have the motherland and the people in your heart, you will be invincible. ”
Now, I am no longer the hairy boy I used to be, but an experienced special forces. In my heart, the fire of loyalty to the country and the people has always burned. I will continue to move forward with the will of the captain and use my life to protect the peace of this land.
After that mission, it was as if my life had entered a new phase. Driven by the captain's legacy, I constantly push my limits and strive to become a good special forces.
"Xiao Chen, you've been doing very well lately." At the end of a training session, our new captain said to me, "However, there is still a long way to go for special forces, and you still have a lot of room for improvement." ”
I nodded, full of gratitude: "Captain, I will continue to work hard." ”
The new captain patted me on the shoulder: "I believe in you, Xiao Chen. However, you also have to remember that the mission of the special forces is not just to fight, but also to protect our families and country. Do you understand? ”
I looked at the new captain deeply, and a strong sense of responsibility welled up in my heart: "I understand, captain. ”
In the days that followed, I worked harder and put in more effort in training. Every day, I work my way around the training pitch to keep improving my skills. I know that only by making progress can I better complete my mission and protect my family and country.
"Xiao Chen, you look like a different person." One day, my old friend Xiao Li looked at me and said.
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I just understand my responsibility and mission better. ”
Xiao Li nodded, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
I took a deep breath and looked firmly into the distance: "I want to continue to improve myself and become a real special forces." ”
Xiao Li looked at my eyes and became firm: "Then I have to work hard, I can't lose to you." ”
Together, we sweat on the training ground and push our limits. Every training makes us more mature and more aware of the meaning of being a special forces.
"Xiao Chen, are you ready?" The new captain stood in front of me with anticipation in his eyes.
I clenched my fists and nodded confidently, "I'm ready, Captain." ”
The new captain nodded in satisfaction, then turned to all of our teammates: "We have a new mission, this time it is very difficult, but I know that as long as we are united, nothing can stop us. ”
I looked at the new captain closely, and a strong determination welled up in my heart: "We will make it, Captain." ”
At that moment, I understood that as special forces, we still have a long way to go, but as long as we have faith and responsibility in our hearts, we can overcome everything. I clenched my fists and stared firmly ahead, ready for a new challenge.
