The Three Musketeers
Some time ago, I received a message from a female soldier.
She said that two years ago, she graduated from college and came to Beijing to serve as a soldier with a dream.
After arriving in the army, it was first the intense new training, then the adaptation after being sent down to the company, and then...
What she didn't expect was that because of the epidemic, she came to Beijing for the first time and stayed in Beijing for two years. I don’t know what it is like. In the past, when veterans retired every year, the army would specially organize everyone to watch a flag-raising ceremony. This year, it seems, there is no hope.
In response, she seemed very disappointed and regretful.
I wonder, has the wish of this comrade who is leaving the team in the next two days come true?
As a veteran who has retired for many years, looking back on his military career, he found that regrets and gains always go hand in hand.
If there are gains, there will be regrets, and if there are regrets, there will be gains.
Each generation has its mission, and each generation has its dream.
At the same time, every generation also has its own regrets.
has been in the army for two years. I don’t know what ’s second hometown is like. Perhaps it is the regret of this generation of comrades.
I don’t know, if they talk about those years many years later, will it become a beautiful thing in their hearts? !
Of course, in addition to regrets, there are also surprises and honors that are envied by many comrades who retired a few years ago.
For example, this time our retired comrades have caught up with our new 21-style military uniforms.
has the long-awaited name tag .
1-style new military uniforms will not only accompany them through the most shining time in their lives, but will also become a symbol of their youth and an eternal memory.
The swordsman believes that in addition, many of these retired comrades also have an identity that they are proud of.
That is, many people participated in the military exercise held last month.
From the air, from the sea, from the land, and from every fighting position, I felt the firm determination and strong strength of our People's Liberation Army to safeguard the reunification of the motherland, and felt the tension and excitement before the battle...
Not everyone has the opportunity to experience this of. It’s worth their “bragging” for a lifetime.
I remember when we first arrived in the army, the squad leader told us: When a general was seeing off veterans on the platform, he asked a veteran, do you regret being a soldier?
The veteran did not answer the general directly, but said a widely circulated saying: "If you serve as a soldier, you will regret it for three years, but if you don't serve as a soldier, you will regret it for a lifetime."
Looking back now, this plot is probably made up. Because no general would ask a soldier such a question (to be verified).
The reason why no one "questioned" it is because this sentence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and expresses the aspirations of many retired soldiers.
It was still the era of "the army must endure".
The troops have low wages, low equipment levels, and poor conditions.
Joining the army requires a strong sense of sacrifice and dedication.
was in the army at that time, and every time there was a lyrical moment, except for " The Moon of the Fifteenth ", it would be "Say Nothing".
At that time, veterans retired, and tears were also a channel for veterans to vent their emotions.
Therefore, today we can see many pictures of veterans crying farewell to their comrades.
In our traditional culture, there is a saying that "men don't shed tears easily".
But in the army, every year veterans retire, even those tough-minded men who have been through mountains of swords , been through seas of fire, fought face to face with enemies with bayonets, and experienced the baptism of bullets and bullets. They will shed tears like rain.
No one has ever regarded these tears as weakness, but called them "heroic tears".
Of course, in recent years, we have also seen some comrades retire with a smile while shedding tears.
The way you take off your military uniform happily after realizing your desire to protect your home and country, the way you look forward to walking out of the military camp and welcoming a bright future, is not only confidence in your own abilities, but also reassurance and satisfaction that the country has arranged well for retired soldiers.
Yes, the country has developed well.
Veterans have many choices. Not only can you get good care from the state in terms of employment, but you can also return to class to continue your studies, and you can also start your own business to realize your dreams.
Once you join the army, you will be a soldier for life.
Once you join the army, you will have a glorious life.
Although we have retired from the army, we still have a name that will accompany us throughout our lives, that is, retired soldiers.
No matter where we go, we should never forget that we were soldiers.
No matter what difficulties you encounter, never forget that you were a soldier.
has been retired for many years. The swordsman still has an old military uniform in his wardrobe. There is also a pair of camouflage shoes in the shoe cabinet. He still wears the pants he brought back from the army.
Occasionally, I will feel alert when I hear bugles and whistles.
When I hear military songs occasionally, I can’t help but sing along!
Although he knows that he is not invincible, he still cannot stop rushing forward when it comes to critical moments such as flood fighting, epidemic prevention and control, or major tasks.
We are retired soldiers. The marks left by the military on our bodies and the genes integrated into our blood will remain with us throughout our lives whether we are willing or not.
My glorious comrades, when you return to your place and enter the society, there may be no one who will pamper you, take care of you, and protect you like the squad leader.
There is no one to tuck you in at night, take you to the health team when you have a cold or fever, chat with you and tell jokes to make you laugh after falling out of love...
Everything has to be done by yourself!
You have become a man and are not afraid of wind and rain!
I hope your life will be smooth from now on. Go back to the military camp when you have time.
