Theoretically, the army generally has its own rules for smoking.

No smoking is allowed indoors, no smoking in toilets, and no smoking in the cafeteria......

In short, no smoking is allowed wherever people can see.

There is another unwritten rule - no smoking is allowed in recruit eggs!

This was not a strict rule for many recruits at that time.

After all, the recruited soldiers at that time were still young, and the most they could do about the concept of smoking was to light a cigarette when friends got together.

But for someone like me, who started fighting all over the street with a cigarette in his mouth at the age of fourteen, this rule is really life-threatening!

When you're tired from training, you may not feel it. But during the period when he had already survived the peak of his first training intensity, the addiction to smoking was like a demon that had been hidden for a long time, almost pervasively.

I just want to smoke.

Especially when you see someone smoking!

For example, the third squad leader of our company.

A native of Hebei, he is 1.85 meters tall and has sword eyebrows and starry eyes. When I took off my clothes in the shower, my whole body was full of tendon flesh and all kinds of scars, and the absolute masculinity was bursting.

And the third squad leader also has a privilege - he can smoke on the training ground!

This is unimaginable in any army!

On the training ground, even during the rest time, the troops with stricter rules are not allowed to sit down and chat, which is basically just to let the dizzy soldiers sway back and forth, moving their legs, feet and arms.

Not to mention lighting a cigarette on the training ground......

But the third squad leader is so extraordinary, so awesome!

As soon as the whistle sounded for each break, the third squad leader could take off his hat and walk to the edge of the training ground. It doesn't matter whether he is a company commander or a platoon commander, without saying a word, he stretches out his hand and pulls a cigarette into the pocket of the company commander and platoon commander.

Moreover, the company commanders and platoon commanders are also very accustomed to the three squad leaders, and every time they laugh and scold and do a few fake actions to cover their pockets. When the third squad leader took out a cigarette from his pocket, he would throw the lighter into the arms of the third squad leader.

By the way, most of them have a sentence: "Look at it with your own eyes!" If the head of the group comes over, hurry up and pinch it! ”

At this time, looking at the third squad leader who smoked a cigarette from afar, it was a cruel torture for me!

Finally, one day, I couldn't bear the urge to smoke, so I slipped into the poplar forest next to the company during my break.

Look around, choose the right terrain, determine the wind direction......

After all these preparations, I was finally able to light the cigarette I had been waiting for!

But just when I took a puff and the spicy nicotine-filled smoke was still flowing in my throat, the voice of the third squad leader sounded above my head: "Eating alone alone?" Give Lao Tzu one too! ”

God testifies......

If you have never smoked, you will never experience the painful feeling of choking on a cigarette.

With my ability to tolerate pain back then, I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't find a branch on the poplar tree and hang myself on the southeast branch......

I finally got through the painful feeling, and when I looked up, I saw that the third squad leader was on a tree next to me, holding the trunk of the poplar tree with his legs, and looking at me with a smile.

At this moment, my heart is completely cold......

Recruit eggs smoking, although it is not a big mistake, but it is always a bit of a violation.

And for the punishment of such violations, each unit has its own tricks.

For example, put a bucket upside down on your head, rest the mouth of the bucket on your shoulder, and then light ten cigarettes at a time, claiming to be addictive at once!

For another example, dismantling a box of high-quality cigarettes, soaking a bowl of water in a large military enamel bowl, and pouring it down with food and drink, the emphasis is on turning the original soup into the original food!

For another example, a whole box of 20 cigarettes is stuffed in the mouth, and after being lit at one time, running into the wind, it is required that all the cigarettes are burned out after running the 400-meter track, and a face is naturally smoky, and you can experience the artistic conception of the desert yellow sand and wind and frost......

It's not corporal punishment, but it's a bit of a wholesome.

At that time, I was worried and didn't know what the third squad leader would arrange for me to clean up my project, but the third squad leader turned over and jumped down from the tree, and took out the cigarette case from my pocket: "How many years have you been smoking?" ”

"It's been six or seven years!"

"Old gun, huh? It's not impossible to smoke if you want to, and when you've finished all your training, you'll love to smoke! Smoking in the army, especially if you want to smoke, you have to rely on your ability! ”

After speaking, the third squad leader pushed my box of cigarettes into his pocket, turned his head and left.

I wasn't penalized for smoking that time......

Since then, while staying up and training, I have also seen some ways from many veterans!

Those who can take cigarettes and smoke from the pockets of company commanders and platoon commanders are all training elites in various companies. You may not be able to see it when you usually train, but when it comes to a big competition or drill, all the veterans who can get the ranking are this type of veterans!

In other words, in the army, if you want to be a bullish person, you have to be able to show real skills!

Maybe it's because I've seen too many of these veterans, or maybe it's because of the aggressive character of the Hunan people in my blood, after an interval of more than a year, I was able to take out a cigarette from the pocket of the company commander and instructor from time to time.

Especially in the plateau base, once the brothers cut off the cigarettes, they naturally recommended me to go to the tent where the instructor lived, to talk with the leader and exchange ideas......

So much so that when I was a soldier for two years, every time I walked outside the instructor's tent and shouted a report, there would be exactly the same scene, which can be called a scene from the plateau base back then:

"Report!"

"Come in! Bald? What's the matter? ”

"It's nothing...... I just want to report back to the instructor about my thoughts......"

"Report the fart! Get lost! ”

With the instructor's shout, I would rush out of the instructor's tent like a wild dog on the loose.

In his hand, he naturally clutched a box or two of cigarettes that the instructor had just thrown over......
