Chapter 80 Self-Purchase of Military Uniforms

After the interview that day, the major general asked Chen Ming to go back and wait for the formalities to go through a full week.

stayed in the capital for two days, and after Huang Huai finished rehearsing in the evening, the two had dinner together and took a walk.

The rest of the time, Chen Ming returned to Dongjiang and accompanied his mother to say goodbye to his friends by the way.

When he received the notice of departure, got the passport with the official visa and the enrollment certificate issued by the Bald Eagle side, Chen Ming happened to be in Lu Huaicheng's office.

Lu Huaicheng looked at Chen Ming, and took out a special Chinese stuff he had just received from the drawer and gave it to Chen Ming. Tell him to come back at noon and kick him out of the office after dinner.

Chen Ming was not hypocritical, he was flying from Pengcheng to Washington State at night, and he had to leave for Pengcheng in the afternoon. I spent the only time left in the morning to go around the wharf of the Dongjiang base.

After more than a day of flying, Chen Ming stood on a foreign land for the first time. Looking at the bustling crowd around me, I have the excitement of going abroad for the first time, the sorrow of parting, and the expectation of unknown challenges.

After calming down, Chen Ming stopped a taxi and went to the embassy to report.

That's right, it's reporting. Due to the secrecy of domestic aircraft carriers and some complicated reasons in other countries, this expatriate is not an open and honest study abroad. Chen Ming's visas are all official visas, and now speaking of which, his official position is an attaché at the military attaché office at the Bald Eagle Embassy. Then when the bald eagle came, it was natural to report it as soon as possible.

"Hey, you're going to the embassy just out of the airport?"

The black driver heard Chen Mingbao's address, and then looked at the airport behind him, and a classic black question mark emoji appeared.

"I'm here to report."

Anyway, this position is a cover-up, and Chen Ming did not refuse to answer the black driver's question.

"Cool~ This is the first time I've seen a living diplomat. Sorry, you know what I mean, I've only seen it on TV before. ”

"But you Chinese are terrible, you just got out of the airport and you wanted to go to work. It's the same with the Chinese in our Bald Eagles, work, work and work. Don't you have a personal hobby? ”

Chen Ming ignored the black driver's thoughts. After all, it's really hard to say.

Historically, most of Bald Eagle's boycotts of the Chinese movement were caused by the fact that they felt that the Chinese were too hardworking and had taken away their jobs. But is there anything wrong with being diligent?

Chen Ming got out of the car and walked into the embassy, showed his documents to the staff, and then he was taken to the office of Major General Zhang, the head of the military attaché's office.

"Comrade Chen Ming, welcome to Bald Eagle."

After hearing the secretary's report, Major General Zhang stood up and enthusiastically stretched out his palm. After Chen Ming also responded, he began to get to the point.

"The Pensacola Naval Air Station you're going to this time is completely diagonal to us. There is still half a month before the start of their next trainee training. You can drive slowly over and see the scenery of the bald eagle on the road and appreciate the culture of the bald eagle. ”

Chen Ming opened his mouth, wanting to show that he didn't have a car.

"Just wait for you to drive my car away. Don't get me wrong, I bought a second-hand pickup truck, the price of the car in this country is not expensive, just sell it before returning home. In addition, we can give you a thousand dollars a month for living expenses, although this is not much, but the country's foreign exchange is not abundant now, I hope you understand more. ”

Chen Ming nodded. Although this money is not much, he has just taken a taxi and used more than 80 dollars, but combined with the exchange rate, it is equivalent to giving him 8,000 per month, far exceeding his original salary expenditure.

"Also, it's good that you're wearing casual clothes now. Military uniforms cannot be worn outside the embassy, and you also understand the nature of this study. Wait a minute, leave the military uniform here, here is 500 dollars, which is a little help from the embassy. ”

As he spoke, Major General Zhang took out a bunch of car keys and a stack of thick US dollar bills, which were very thoughtfully replaced with small denominations.

Chen Ming wanted to shirk it, but Major General Zhang said that this was the embassy's intention and that the ambassador also knew about it. In the end, Chen Ming still accepted the money, took out the military uniform from the suitcase, handed it to the embassy staff to keep it, and then bid farewell to Major General Zhang.

Finding Major General Zhang's Dodge pickup, Chen Ming drove a car to buy a Bald Eagle map at a newsstand on the side of the road, then found a supermarket, bought a sleeping bag and drinking water, and drove away from the city.

All the way through 7 states including Idaho and Wyoming. When he was sleepy at night, he slept in a sleeping bag in the back seat, and during the day he ran into a gas station to refuel the car, replenish a little water and food, and ten days later, Chen Ming arrived at the destination of the trip. Located in Pensacola, Florida.

Just off the Gulf of Mexico is the city of Pensacola, whose beaches are a well-known Florida attraction. In the Pensacola Naval Air Station, in addition to the Aviation Technology Center, which is known as the cradle of the Bald Eagle Naval Pilot, there is also the Bald Eagle Naval Aviation Museum, and so on.

After Chen Ming reported, he spent a day touring this place where he would stop in the future. The open barracks of the Bald Eagle Country made Chen Ming feel very novel. Although there are guards on the perimeter of the air station, the inspection is not strict. Entering the barracks, the structure inside the barracks does not feel much different from the city outside, which may also be due to the fact that the bald eagle itself is vast and sparsely populated, and the urban structure is relatively loose.

But unlike the relatively serious and tense atmosphere of the domestic military camps, which are only organized. The bald eagle's barracks made Chen Ming feel more relaxed, with shops, bars, and restaurants almost everything. In addition to the museum, there is also the Bald Eagle's Blue Angel Aerial Stunt Team, which is also home to the barracks, and it is said that they will hold wonderful aerial performances for the people in the vicinity during the barracks' open days.

Chen Ming was also assigned a dormitory in the camp, a three-bedroom apartment, each with his own independent room. There is also a TV in the room and a laptop for Chen Ming, which is said to be standard for every student. There is a living room in the common area, as well as an open plan kitchen.

This configuration made Chen Ming smack, no wonder it is often said in China that the bald eagle soldiers are a group of young master soldiers, which can be seen from these daily environments.

Early the next morning, Chen Ming pushed open the door, said hello to his two roommates, Second Lieutenant White and Second Lieutenant John, and left the dormitory. He made an appointment with Lieutenant Colonel Conn, the Director of the Training Management Office, to meet this morning to discuss some admission matters, including matters that need attention.

Lieutenant Colonel Conn didn't seem to welcome Chen Ming's arrival, and told Chen Ming what he needed to pay attention to very coldly. He took out another stack of materials and handed it to Chen Ming, and asked him to attend the opening ceremony in the auditorium three days later, and then ended the conversation.

The rest of the content can be studied slowly, and Chen Ming's attention at this time was completely attracted by the article of self-purchase of military uniforms.

The domestic military uniforms are all issued by the state, and it is illegal to trade military and police uniforms in the private sector, so why does the bald eagle have to buy it by itself?

In addition to the doubts about the policy, it is the concern for one's own pocket.

I'm shy!
