Volume 1 Enlistment Training Chapter 8 Traditions and Nicknames
The first three days of the recruit company are the time for recruits from all over the country to enter the camp one after another, and there is no training task, the main thing is that the squad leader takes the recruits who have arrived to tidy up housekeeping, cleaning, and folding quilts...... Folded quilts repeatedly.
Of course, during this process, the squad leader will tell the recruits some basic rules. For example, a whistle is a command; When you see veterans, cadres, and backbones, you should stand up and say hello, and then you should salute and say hello after learning to salute; Answering the questions of the superiors can only answer yes or no, and there can be no superfluous nonsense; Even if you just leave the class, you have to ask the class leader for leave, and so on.
This made Niu Zhiyuan feel unhappy while being novel. After waiting for some days, Niu Zhiyuan gradually understood that these things must be done regardless of whether he is sincere or not, whether he wants to do them or not, because this is the rule, to be precise, it is the discipline in the army's regulations.
However, it wasn't until a year later that he changed from a recruit to a veteran, and Niu Zhiyuan knew that there were many rules and regulations in the army, some of which were fine traditions, and some of which were set by a certain generation of leaders on the spur of the moment, or with a stroke of brain, whether they were right or not, whether they had always been suitable for the actual situation of the troops, and the leaders behind them were too lazy to change, or did not dare to change them easily, so they were passed down from generation to generation.
For example, before eating, you must sing, and you must shout out the loudest voice when singing, otherwise it means that the morale of the troops is not good, and you have to sing it again, or even sing it many times. Also, when the recruit is a recruit, he can't talk when he eats, he can't move the chopsticks before the squad leader moves the chopsticks, and the squad leader must put the chopsticks immediately after putting the chopsticks, regardless of whether he is full or not. Eating is timeless, just faster than blind, and recruits are eager to turn food into liquid so that they can pour it directly down their throats without chewing. Jin Jia just had a large amount of food, time was tight, and whenever he ate, his eyes were wide open, his whole body was tense, as if he was fighting, and the whole thing was gobbling up.
When eating breakfast on the third day, the recruits in the third class had not finished half of the steamed buns, so Huang Jianjun ordered the end of the meal, because the housekeeping was not good today, so he squeezed out this little time to tidy up the housework. But at the moment when the squad leader gave the order, Jin Jiagang roared, and with lightning speed, his left and right hands 'opened the bow' at the same time, each took a steamed bun, forcibly stuffed all of them into his mouth, and bulged the two cheeks widely, shocking everyone in the class, Huang Jianjun pointed at Jin Jiagang and looked at it for a long time, and finally said nothing, so that Jin Jiagang showed an extremely happy smile.
In fact, in the canteen of the new barracks, a scene similar to what happened today in the third class happened from time to time, many recruits were still secretly chewing food while washing dishes, and there were not a few recruits who participated in the training half-starved at the beginning of the enlistment training.
……
……
Four days later, all the recruits from all over the country finally arrived, and the enlistment training of the recruit camp officially began. Niu Zhiyuan's recruit company and platoon have nine recruits in three squads, plus just ten squad leaders, who eat, live, sleep, and train together...... If there is any kind of collective in this world that is the most unified and synchronized, it is the recruits of the same class in our army, and in this case, it is difficult for everyone to be familiar with each other.
Everyone comes from all over the world, their life experiences and personality habits are different, and they come to this 'very vicious' environment alone, so they are familiar with each other, but three days is not enough time to have any kind of affection for each other. However, everyone is a teenager who has just reached adulthood, and the common topic is easy to form, so occasionally in my free time, I will talk about my hometown, and everyone's hometown is very good, and it is all kinds of good; The female classmates in everyone's mouth have an ambiguous past with them, and they are all beautiful, and they still take the initiative to chase them......
The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each has its own advantages, and the nine recruits also have their own characteristics, and the reasons for being soldiers are varied, there are differences, there will be friction, there will be collisions, of course, there will be sparks, there are many types of sparks, in addition to the sparks of friendship, there is often a nickname for the ——— achievement.
As we all know, nicknames are especially popular among teenagers, and in the army they are a bridge to close the relationship between comrades-in-arms at the initial stage.
Niu Zhiyuan is nicknamed "Niu Baby", the reason is that he and Xia Junhao fought in front of the recruit battalion commander on the first day, Huang Jianjun had a training break, bragged to everyone, talked about this matter, patted Niu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and said: "Your baby is still a cow, worthy of the surname Niu." ”
Since then, Niu Zhiyuan has had the nickname 'Niu Baby'. But Niu Zhiyuan didn't like this nickname at all, because it was a mistake made in a fight, he wanted to become a 'cow', but he didn't want this 'cow' method.
Xia Junhao was more square than the squad leader because the quilt was folded, so he won the slightly elegant nickname of 'Xia quilt', when Xia Junhao heard others call him like this for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he didn't know what to mutter, expressing his glad acceptance. Niu Zhiyuan happened to be next to him at that time, and faintly heard him say, "If the old man knew that I had the same name as him, would he beat me to death?" ”
Jin Jiagang is the only person to be given the nicknames 'Big Man' and 'King Kong', and of course there are people who occasionally call him Rice Bucket behind his back. There are naturally reasons for getting so many nicknames, such as his name, his size, his looks, his amount of food, and so on.
Zhao Shiguang's nickname is very ugly, called 'sycophant'. This guy is a city soldier, he looks white and clean, he smiles before he speaks, and his mouth is also clever, it is easy to make people feel good, he is one or two years older than the recruits in the class, he is already over twenty years old, and he is obviously more mature than other recruits. Within a few days of coming, he won the love of the squad leader, giving the squad leader cigarettes, pouring water, washing water, and even taking the initiative to fold the quilt for the squad leader in the morning, and pulling the quilt for the squad leader at night and making the bed. For this reason, Huang Jianjun once said with a little joking: "We are in the third class, and Zhao Shiguang may be the most promising." ”
The other five people also have their own nicknames, of course, there is a reason behind each nickname, or a story, as for the squad leader Huang Jianjun originally had a nickname, Niu Zhiyuan once heard a squad leader call him 'crazy', what kind of unknown story is behind this nickname, it is not something that he can know for the time being, a pink and tender recruit.
In addition to the familiarity between the recruits, the recruits and the cadres and backbones are familiar with each other, the recruits also gradually understand what kind of unit they belong to, simply put, the Red Army Division, the Emergency Combat Quick Response Division, and the Ace Division.
