I enlisted in the army in October 1973 and arrived at the end of December. I vividly remember the events that happened during the three months of the recruit company, which I still remember.
After tossing and turning, we transferred from the railway station to the military card to the army, and when we arrived at the army, it was already afternoon, and the commander of the recruit company was waiting there early, warmly welcoming us. After the roll call and handover, we were taken to the recruit training ground, and then we were given a grand welcome ceremony, but the most vivid thing for me was the dinner that day, which was actually clear soup noodles, which made our recruits feel very surprised and excited. (With the deepening of my understanding of the life of the army, I realized that the noodles at that time were "sick rice", which belonged to a better meal. ）
After eating, the instructor gave us ideological education, which made us understand the purpose and significance of being a soldier: "The meaning of being a soldier is to protect the family and the country, maintain social stability, and protect the safety of the people. The purpose of joining the army is to temper oneself, enhance one's ability and quality, and make greater contributions to the motherland and the people. "After the instructor's words fell, I felt that my mental outlook was refreshed, my consciousness was also improved, and I was full of enthusiasm for the next recruit training.
On the first day of the intensive training, the company commander personally drilled, and after last night's ideological education, every comrade-in-arms was full of energy. We start training with the most basic rest, standing upright, and reporting the number. The company commander patiently demonstrated to us over and over again, and he stood in front of us, and his tall posture and serious expression made us all feel a kind of majesty. His every movement is very standard, as if it is a mirror, so that we can clearly see our own shortcomings.
Despite the patience and guidance of the company commander, many recruits still have some clumsy situations when learning basic movements such as taking a break and standing upright. Some fighters make mistakes in their feet and even trip over themselves when they take a break.
This situation made the company commander feel a little helpless, but he did not give up, but guided these fighters more patiently. He tells them that these moves, while seemingly simple, actually require a few tricks and details. Then, through repeated practice and constant correction of mistakes, you will truly master these movements.
At the same time, the company commander also encouraged these soldiers not to be discouraged and to maintain a positive attitude and an attitude of learning. "As a soldier, we need to keep learning and improving, and only through continuous hard work and practice can we become a good soldier," he said. ”
After listening to the company commander's teachings, these soldiers gradually overcame the difficulties, and in the following training, they studied and trained harder, and quickly mastered the correct movements and postures.
Time spent day by day in training, and our recruits gradually became acquainted with each other. About a month or so in the training camp, there was such a group joke, when I just joined the "emergency assembly" training subject, one day in the middle of the night suddenly sounded the whistle of the emergency assembly, our group of recruits eggs during the day training was fine, this big night suddenly came to a practical operation, all of a sudden chaos, there was no time to wear a shirt, wear a big cotton jacket and run down;There are shoes that are worn backwards on the left and right feet;There are those who run down without shoes;There are pants to wear backwards;And there were two comrades-in-arms in our class, and they didn't have time to put on their pants and shoes, so they ran down, it was still snowing at that time, how cold it was, and they were laughed at for two whole months. (To explain, I was born in a military family and has certain military qualities, and I am all dressed up, you can refer to the previous issue).
The company commander couldn't help but laugh when he looked at our group of embarrassed recruits. He clapped his hands, lined us up, and then began to explain the dos and don'ts of emergency assembly.
The company commander said: "Emergency assembly is a kind of training subject for troops to deal with emergencies, which requires us to respond quickly and act quickly in a short time. However, if you run down in such a panic, not only will you not achieve the purpose of training, but you may also get injured due to your own mistakes. ”
After the company commander said this, he saw the two comrades-in-arms who were not wearing pants and shoes, but he didn't hold back, and announced the dissolution with a smile, after all, training is important in the cold and snow, and the safety and health of the soldiers are more important. Here's a little story about it.
Then there is another very interesting thing, one day a comrade-in-arms was sullen in a daze, and the squad leader stepped forward to ask him when he saw it: "What's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?"He turned his head and said to the squad leader: "I lost 2 yuan", at that time 2 yuan was not a small amount, the squad leader immediately gathered the whole class of soldiers, held a class meeting, and asked: "Does anyone pick up 2 yuan, hand it over immediately, if anyone takes it, hand it over now, you can deal with it lightly." Just when the squad leader wanted to speak again, he was interrupted by a trembling report, and the comrade-in-arms who lost the money walked up tremblingly and told the squad leader: "It's my dream, I lost the money in the dream, it's a pity, 2 yuan." At this time, he was still regretting the 2 yuan he lost in his dream, but he didn't notice that the squad leader's face had turned red with anger.
When the whole class heard this answer, they burst into laughter. The squad leader couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he still emphasized the importance of discipline and discipline to the soldiers. "Although it was a joke this time, we must always be vigilant in our daily lives and not have any violations of the rules," he said. ”
There are many memorable things in the recruit company, such as food problems, etc., and there are also some other episodes, so I won't tell them one by one, let's tell the story of the food problem being merged into the next cooking class. If you have any other stories about being a soldier, you can also leave a message in the comment area, and we will discuss it together.
