In the midst of joy and helplessness, I spent half of my vacation in my hometown, and according to our agreed meeting time, I had to take the bullet train with Lao Pang the next night to return to the city where our special operations brigade was located.

Let's tell you the truth, I didn't have a long time to be a soldier, but after I took advantage of such a rare vacation to return home, to be honest, I am not used to it, many things still remain like in the army, what time to get up, what time to eat, what time to go to bed, and even to say, how long to eat and eat There is a clear feeling, although I have been telling myself that I am at home, not in the army, but many habits are still inadvertently revealed.

Sometimes, when I inadvertently show some habits that I have developed in the army, my family will laugh and say how I am in the army, and I can't change it at home.

It's all a joke, but to me, to be honest, I'm a little worried. I have only been in the army for a few years now, so I can say that the time in the army is not very long, and if I continue to serve in the army for a few more years, this habit may really gradually evolve into an instinct of my own.

According to a scientific study, only about 5% of a person's behavior in a day is non-habitual, and the remaining 95% of behavior is habitual. Even innovation can eventually evolve into habitual innovation. This shows the power of habit. All thoughts, all practices, must ultimately boil down to a habit, so that it will have a lasting power for human success.

Another study concluded that repetition of more than 21 days is habitual; 90 days of repetition will form a stable habit. That is, the same movement, repeated for 21 days, will form a habitual action. In the same way, the same idea, repeated for 21 days, or repeated and verified 21 times, becomes a habitual thought. So, if a concept has been verified more than 21 times, there is a good chance that it has become your belief.

365 days a year, serving in the army, if nothing else, at least 730 days, or more than 1826 days, so calculated, all the regulations in the army, has already become their own instinct, in case one day I leave the army for some unavoidable reasons, these instinctive reactions cast with hundreds of days and nights to form habits, will I feel uncomfortable in the current society, or in other words, at that time, I will not adapt to this societyand how long it takes to adapt, and how much time it takes to change and develop a new habit.

In this way, in the constant blending and transformation of joy, helplessness, and worry, I finally left my hometown again because of time. When I left, I didn't say hello to my family and the people around me, but chose to call my family after I left, because I really didn't want to see the scene of parting anymore.

Obviously, after Lao Pang returned home, his feelings should be similar to mine, so he didn't stay too long, bought something and hurried into the train station, and waited in the waiting hall after buying a ticket.

"Lao Chen, let me ask you something." Lao Pang sat beside me, looked at me with a solemn face, and said to me.

"What's the matter, you say." I glanced at him, and was almost amused by his sudden seriousness, so I asked him pretending to be serious.

"Have you ever wondered how long you're going to be in the army?" Lao Pang's rare serious question is also a question I have been thinking about before. Although many people have asked us, and we answered very sensibly at the time, after all, we were in the army at that time, in a relatively simple environment, but now, when we were in the service, we came back to our hometown, and there was more worry in our minds. Perhaps, in the minds of the leaders of the troops, they must have thought of this, after all, in an era like this, there will really be very few people who can be soldiers for a lifetime.

"Okay, Lao Pang, I'm not talking about you, I'm telling you, you are an idea now, and when we go back, you will have another idea. Moreover, our service period has not yet expired, how can I drop, I still want to run in advance. Although I also had such doubts in my heart, I still said to Lao Pang as if I was joking.

"Fart! You're a deserter! "Lao Pang and I are like this, at least two people will start fighting with each other immediately, this mouthful, hey, what troubles, what worries, immediately all of them were temporarily left behind.

......

Soon, our "Warrior Squad" once again completed the assembly, of course, still wearing civilian clothes, in the box of the hotel where we had just come out to eat when we were on vacation, and Black Wind was also picked up early by the first team member to come back. After the time when the driver squad leader came to pick us up, we had another meal and a drink, and then we got on the Iveco together and drove towards the training base of the special operations team.

At the end of the holiday, we once again returned to our original life, training, studying, and tasking, which seemed to have become a commonplace thing for us, so after a short vacation, we returned to this kind of life again, and we did not feel anything uncomfortable, but felt that this kind of life made us feel natural.

"Comrades, do you know what day it will be in five days!" One night at roll call, the instructor came to our "Warrior Squad" and asked us.

The instructor's words stunned all of us, and our minds immediately began to think quickly. However, the instructor didn't seem to want to hear our answer, and after a slight pause, he immediately said to us, "Five days will be the 400th day of the Warriors' formation. ”

After hearing the instructor's words, the team members who joined later, such as the "Night Vulture" and Lao Pang, were just like us, and the earliest group of team members immediately sighed in their hearts, time flies so fast.

However, just when our exclamation was not fully expressed, the instructor glanced at us and said happily: "Comrades, to celebrate the 400th day of the establishment of our 'Warrior Squad'!" When the instructor said this, he paused slightly, glanced at us, and then continued: "After receiving a notice from the superiors, a new phase of special combat member selection and intensive training will be launched in the 'Devil's Battalion' of our special operations brigade in five days, and all members of your 'warrior squad' will serve as instructors for this selection and training, and the special operations brigade will select and send cadres with excellent quality from each special operations squadron to serve as instructors. ”

After hearing the instructor's words, the previous sentence, we were still holding our breath and preparing for some good way to celebrate, and after hearing the latter words, we suddenly realized that we came to our late roll call today, in fact, to announce such an order to us.

To be honest, compared to the selection and training of new members, it is really not as comfortable as our usual own training, although our usual training is also very hard, but, the work and rest time is stable, and we are all used to this kind of training and rest time, but, let us become the upcoming hundreds of elite instructors of the various grassroots squadrons who come to participate in the training, although there is no need to train much, but, the work and rest time is messed up, and more importantly, Every day, I have to submit all kinds of reports and data to the instructors, and at the same time, I have to work hard to clean up this group of elites, which saves a lot of physical strength, but it takes a lot of mental power.

However, having said that, we also have experience in sending us to serve as instructors and clean up such a group of elites, after all, several of us have been rectified step by step. Just like what I heard in a chat with our previous instructor after I joined the special operations team: "A good soldier can stimulate his potential the more he is organized, and if you don't mess with him, he doesn't know how good he is." ”

"Comrades! You all joined our special operations team step by step, and you have become a member of the 'warrior squad' by your own efforts, in the words of our special operations team, you were a group of rookies when you participated in the training, but now, you have grown from rookies to old birds! Therefore, I hope that during your tenure as instructors, you must do your due diligence and leave a group of real elites for the special operations team! Comrades! There is no faith! The instructor's words were like a pre-war mobilization, but there was a sense of seriousness in what we heard.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We all shouted loudly three times, but after three sounds, it was not over, and suddenly the leader of the command team shouted loudly: "The old bird team guarantees to complete the task!" ”

"The Old Birds? Hahaha, okay, then your 'Warrior Squad' will be the 'Old Bird Team' for the time being, don't embarrass our special operations team in front of the rookies! After hearing the words of the leader of the command group, the instructor smiled a little, and then continued to speak to us.

......

When we were training, we actually thought about what it would be like if we were instructors or instructors, but we never thought that so soon, we would really become instructors, and our entire team was dispatched, including Black Wind. What's the drop, now that the rookies are cleaned up, they all have to be cleaned up as an establishment?
