★ "Cry, let's cheer together"
When recruits are training, I am often criticized by the squad leader for small problems such as poor quilt folding and misplaced washbasins. That day, after being said a few words by the class leader, I stood in the corridor, remembering the previous events, and the tears flowed silently. At this time, the same year, Ma Guangwei came out of the room, took my hand, and stood quietly with me. Seeing that my state was better, she began to talk about her "troubles" when she was in college, taking the takeaway wrong, taking the wrong class and going to the wrong classroom... After a while, I burst into laughter and felt much better. That day, one of her words made me remember: "Crying, the squad leader is also for our own good, let's cheer together!" "I didn't know each other before, but now I have become a good comrade-in-arms, sharing happiness and overcoming difficulties together." I am proud to say that I have gained a sincere comradeship in the barracks.

★ Your comrade-in-arms is the one who embraces you
I was not a very good temper, and when I first joined the army, I felt that I was right in everything, so I did not have any conflicts with my comrades in the class. But the squad leader and comrades-in-arms have always been very tolerant of me and have given me a lot of help and encouragement. On the afternoon of my birthday, when I had just returned to the dormitory from the guard post, as soon as the door opened, the squad leader and comrades-in-arms brought cake and sang me a birthday song. Looking at the cake in front of me, I felt both excited and guilty, and my face was red and white. The cake of that day was sweet and salty. At night, when my parents and I were on the phone, we cried and laughed, and at that moment, I found that I had really grown up.

★ "Don't be afraid of anything, just afraid of not uniting"
It has been almost half a year since I joined the army, and I often think of the words of the squad leader: "We are not afraid of anything, we are afraid of not uniting." "In this special collective of the troops, the most basic thing is unity, and only by unity can we have combat effectiveness. From the beginning of putting on the uniform, we should truly regard the company as our home, treat our comrades-in-arms as brothers, and shoulder difficulties together and shoulder the responsibilities together. Not long ago, the brigade organized a 3-kilometer assessment of the formation company, and when I saw a comrade-in-arms who was out of breath, I took the initiative to return to him and accompany him to help him adjust his breathing and refuel him. Slowly, he eased up and resumed keeping up with the team. When I ran to the finish line, the squad leader suddenly walked up to me and magically pulled out a bottle of milk tea and handed it to me, and his eyes were full of affirmation and encouragement. At that moment, I had not yet drunk the milk tea, but I felt the sweetness.

★ "Without you, without me, only us"
The squad leader always said, "We are a collective, and we must share weal and woe." "When I was recruited, my physical fitness was very poor, and 3 kilometers became a "stumbling block" in my training. In order not to let me fall behind, the comrades-in-arms spontaneously took turns to accompany me to practice, and took me to sweat like rain on the training ground. During the examination, they cheered me up next to me, reminding me to adjust my breathing and speed up my pace... The results came out, and there was a great improvement compared with usual. The comrades-in-arms were happy for me, and they said, "Between us, there is no you, no me, only us." "In the barracks, my comrades-in-arms made me understand what a collective is, and it was a blessing for us to come to a collective with our own dreams. The same mission inspires us to move forward together into the future.

★ Every post is a battle position for a strong army
When the recruits got out of the company, I became a wired signal soldier, and every day I followed the squad leader to patrol the various points of the unit. After a few days, I felt that this was not the barracks life I wanted, so I told the squad leader about the idea, and he said to me: "Although we are not dealing directly with guns and fighting vehicles, we keep the communication lines open." Don't underestimate these posts, if the line is not passed, what to take to pass on the order, can you still win the battle? "Most of the practical training of cable professionals was outdoors, and the cold wind was cold, and I began to shrink my neck and clench my fists. But the squad leader faced the cold wind, carefully explained to us, and fiddled with the optical fibers as thin as hair with his bare hands. The squad leader's attitude towards work made me understand that every post is a strong army position, every major is an indispensable chain for winning the war, and I must learn professional skills! Later, every time I practiced class, I went to the front to observe and learn, and I never wanted to be lazy again.

★ "Conscientious execution, no excuses"
After getting off the company, I was assigned to the ship support unit and became a supply and distribution worker, although dressed in marine camouflage, I did not have the opportunity to get on the ship. In the face of some frustration in me, a sentence from the squad leader made me remember it vividly: "One day on the job, one day of responsibility, conscientious implementation, no excuses." In every sending and receiving, transshipment, warehouse reversal, and ship supply mission, the squad leader interpreted the meaning of the word "responsibility" for us with focused, professional and meticulous actions. Whenever I see ships carrying our supplies of food to the ocean, the pride in my heart arises, and I am more and more aware: although my post is small, but the responsibility is heavy, I will insist on going on and complete every task.

★ With hard work, anything is possible
When I first joined the army, my physical foundation was relatively poor, and the results in several projects were the "tails" in the class, and the pull-ups were "shaved heads". To this end, the squad leader and comrades-in-arms tried to help me improve my grades, and half a month later, I still did not make any progress. Seeing that I was a little low, the squad leader patiently enlightened me: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. I was the same when I first came to the army, nothing, nothing. The words of the squad leader are sincere and heartwarming, making me believe: "The squad leader can, I can too!" "Just like that, on the basis of the original training, I started to add weight to myself. In the new training assessment, my physical performance was rated as excellent, which was the best in the class. At that moment, I shed tears, tears of excitement, and tears of victory. It also made me believe in myself even more: with hard work, anything is possible.

★ Believe you can be a good soldier
After the next company, I obviously felt that my physical strength could not keep up, and seeing that other people's grades were better than mine, I repeatedly asked myself if I could be a good soldier. Seeing that I was not in a high mood, the squad leader and the instructor always cheered me up. One day, the instructor learned that my college major was film and television editing and directing, and he was overjoyed, took a camera and said: "Xiao Yang, Company Li just wants to make a short film for a recruit to get off the company, let you shoot it." "I was thrilled by the expectations and trust in the eyes of the instructors. Soon, a short film documenting the daily training and life of comrades-in-arms was freshly released. When the instructor played in the party group class, many comrades in arms threw praiseful glances at me, and for the first time I felt so welcome. In the days that followed, I no longer lost my spirits and understood that to be a soldier, I must have real skills. I gritted my teeth and trained with everyone's rhythm, and now my physical performance has reached a good level.

★ Wear a military uniform to get better
At home, I was a lazy person, as if I was jet lag with others, and I didn't even bother to clean up the bed. After enlisting in the army, I felt that the whole world had changed, and all that came into my eyes was straight lines and squares, and everything was angular and angular. I now get up at 6 o'clock every day to tidy up my housework and go out for morning exercises. I was out of breath after just 3 kilometers, but now I can easily complete 10 kilometers. When I was at home, it was difficult for me to calm down and study, and I always had an attitude of indifference. Now, every time I take a professional assessment, I will do my best, and once I don't take the exam well, I will reflect on the review and strive to avoid the same mistakes in future assessments. Why has it changed so much? Because I don't want to be like that again. Putting on this uniform, we must strictly observe discipline, constantly study and improve ourselves, strive to improve our overall quality, and accomplish all the tasks entrusted to us by the party and the people.

★ Self-discipline is the recipe for growth
At home, I often indulged in games, did not sleep at night, did not get up during the day, and lived myself as a "giant baby". When I first arrived at the recruit company, I was not used to the work and rest system, and I was busy sorting out the internal affairs, and the other comrades-in-arms had already folded the quilts, but I did not even lay the sheets. At that moment, I found myself so "useless". Compared with my comrades-in-arms, I saw my own gap. With the help of the squad leader and comrades-in-arms, I set myself goals in terms of following the work and rest system, sorting out the housekeeping, personal hygiene, queue training, and physical fitness foundation. They monitored and encouraged me everywhere. Soon, I adapted to the one-day living system of the company, the internal health had to pass a pacesetter, and the queue and physical fitness also caught up with the average of the squadron. The army is a good place to temper your will and sharpen your character, and I am glad that I have completed the transformation from a young student to a qualified soldier in the barracks.

★ Unconsciously fell in love with reading
Before I became a soldier, I was most annoyed with reading, basically the mobile phone did not leave the body, and I took it out and turned it over when I had nothing to do. When I arrived at the army, I didn't adapt for a long time, and I was used to touching my pockets when I was fine. Once, at the "Learning and Growth" theme story meeting organized by the company, several squad leaders and senior non-commissioned officers learned the story of becoming talents, which completely refreshed my "three views" and let me see the gap and the crisis. I decided to learn from them, to change myself through learning, and not to waste my youth and waste time like before. After that, I spent almost all my free time on reading and studying, and soon finished reading several books such as "Suffering and Glory" and "The Long March". What's even more amazing is that in the days with books, I unconsciously fell in love with reading, didn't touch books for a day, and was a little unaccustomed, and the attention to mobile phones was not so high. Last week, I was also named the company's "Theoretical Learning Star."

★ Have fun in your studies
Before studying the communication major, the class leader said that the early stage of studying the newspaper major was a bit boring, and it was necessary to learn to find fun in learning. At that time, I did not quite understand, and my impression of the newspaper profession was the "tick-tock" telegram, which was both mysterious and special. After the professional study began, the first examination made me find that I was not hard enough, not careful enough, many comrades got full marks or only one or two words wrong, I actually missed 7 words. The squad leader said: "Soldiers must have the spirit of being competitive and competitive, and they must do their best to do things, and they must not get by." If you feel that you can't memorize and can't understand it, you have to work harder and harder than others. So I silently made up my mind and worked overtime to study. By the time of the second assessment, although the content had increased a lot, I still got a full score. Now that the content of professional courses is gradually increasing, I have also found fun in learning, I regard the exam as a "game clearance", and every test paper with a full score is a "perfect performance".

★ From less to more to learning to be grateful
"Cold or not? Hungry or not? Is your body okay? "Almost every time you contact me, my parents will ask again, and I understand that in fact, you obviously know that life in the army is good, but you have asked me repeatedly, whether you miss me or worry about me, and I will answer seriously every time." My mother often said that I had matured a lot after joining the army, and later I learned that what now feels very ordinary is really rarely done before, rarely patiently listening to my parents' speeches, rarely taking the initiative to care for my parents, and rarely afraid of my parents worrying. The maturity that my mother said was the growth brought to me by the army, which made me learn to take responsibility, learn to be independent, and learn to be grateful.

★ Growth is often instantaneous
In the eyes of Mom and Dad, I am an ignorant child, and many times I make you sad. You want me to go to college, but I quit the college entrance examination when I was rebellious. It has been almost half a year since I joined the army, and I have slowly understood that it is not easy for you. It is often said that growth is often a matter of moments. Some time ago, my mother had a birthday, and I couldn't be by your side, and I felt very guilty. Call home at night, you said you had been waiting for me, and at that moment, I really didn't hold back, and the tears flowed down without a fight. In the past few months, no matter how hard and tired the training, I have not shed a tear, but when I answered the phone, I cried like a child. I grow up day by day, and you grow old day by day. At that moment, I found that what I was most worried about in my heart was you, and I also understood your love for me, please rest assured that my parents and mothers.
