Chapter 90: Recruit Company Commander

A notice, pack your bags, give up the year's vacation, come to the battalion headquarters, begin to perform the duties of the commander of the recruit company, and start to form the recruit company.

Since the second year of graduation, the squad leader of the recruit company is served by the platoon leader who has just graduated, and since then it has become a system, and it has always been such a practice, the number is not enough, and then the advance squad leader of each company is the care, and it is no longer allowed to let the soon-to-be discharged veterans serve as the squad leader, so it is easier to manage.

With the implementation of the non-commissioned officer system, the management of the troops has become more and more standardized, and the most obvious change is that the regiment headquarters has not unified the standard for the amount of surplus savings in the past, and even the surplus is much more as a management achievement.

Now that the requirements have been unified, they must all be used, and at most they can only save one month's food expenses, and under such a requirement, the company's food is particularly abundant, and there are family members who come to the team and bring the whole chicken and the whole chicken, and they are particularly shocked, where can they eat, it is almost a waste.

It's not another arrangement, but the company usually eats like this, milk bread in the morning, steamed buns, as long as you can eat it, even if you let it go, lunch and dinner are all big fish and meat, full of a table, all kinds of dishes.

The squad and platoon commander arrived before me, cleaned the barracks, cleaned the barracks, cleaned up the environment, and settled the recruits who arrived first.

The instructor is a military student who graduated two years earlier than me, and has already served as an instructor in the company.

During the three-month partnership with me, we faithfully performed our duties in ideological and political work, often carried out heart-to-heart talks, and the recruits talked about squad leaders and cadres, understood the situation, grasped the dynamics, guided the upward movement, resolved difficult problems, and made valuable efforts.

Regardless of whether military cadres or political work cadres are responsible for strengthening political construction, I also have to undertake frequent heart-to-heart talks, and I also have to attend realistic ideological education classes.

As an important part of ideological and political work, being familiar with the situation of the officers and men of the whole company is taken very seriously, and the regimental commander sometimes inspects the work; if the officers and men of the whole company know the situation well, they will be appreciated, and they will think that leading the troops with heart is a manifestation of dedication.

There are hundreds of people in the whole company, where can I remember so much, this is my weakness, not to mention being a company commander, even when I am a platoon commander, I can't remember everything, every time I see the head of the battalion, I am afraid of being asked this, fortunately, I don't ask much, occasionally asked, it is relatively simple, and I successfully cope with the past.

The entry of an only child into the barracks, the new situation and new characteristics, as the main theme of ideology and politics, are pampered, cannot bear grievances, cannot endure hardships, are prone to extremism, are ideologically unstable, and the problem of desertion is particularly important; old companies have occurred from time to time, and new recruit companies are even more so.

Among this batch of recruits, there is a group from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, although it is a subordinate county, the economy is still very developed, and they are unwilling to come to the army, which is more serious than Lin'an.

One of them, since the day he came, was thinking about how to escape, once he took advantage of the loophole, the whole company was dispatched, I took people to look for it in the nearby Luozhou Town, and guided the people to go directly to the train station, but he was really found at the train station, and before getting on the train, he was stopped and brought back.

It was discovered in time, and the escape time was not long, and we concealed it, so as to avoid being notified and criticized, and being reprimanded by the leader.

In the same year, a recruit in the recruit company in Zhangzhou escaped and did not see him for a few days, so he couldn't hide it, so he reported it to the battalion and regiment, and the regiment immediately reported to the army, which affected the promotion and use of the recruit company commander.

I heard that this recruit was found on the railroad tracks, penniless, unable to buy a ticket, so he could only walk along the railway, dressed in a military training uniform, with a shaved head, which was particularly easy to identify, and was discovered by the railway staff, and the nearby armed forces department asked about the situation and notified the regimental leader.

In order to prevent the recruits' thoughts from fluctuating and inducing them to flee, it is also because I have personally experienced the life of recruits and know that it is not easy for recruits, we strictly prohibit beating, scolding, and corporal punishment, and do not allow the squad platoon to privately engage in emergency assembly of backpacks.

There are strict regulations on the food, what the recruits eat, we eat, but there is another table, next to the recruits, the food on the table is exactly the same, the recruits can see when they look up.

The measures are also strict, the army tradition, enlistment is to stand guard, live in the battalion headquarters, there are battalion veterans standing guard all day at the courtyard gate, according to the actual situation, the recruits stand guard, arranged after the lights out and go to bed, in front of the dormitory designated area, by a squad leader to lead the class.

If a recruit gets up to go to the toilet, the squad leader must accompany him, and it is stipulated that during the standing time, he must inspect the recruit's incumbency every half an hour. In addition, the platoon commander was arranged to take turns to inspect the post every day, and the instructor and I would patrol almost every night, either once or more, or not long after going to bed, or late at night and early in the morning.

Compared with the prevention of desertion, the training does not show obvious characteristics, nor can it be distinctive, queue training, order learning, traditional education, emergency assembly, nothing more than a few.

However, strict management and obedience to discipline are rigid, monotonous, boring and tiring, and a pampered generation of only children, and it is estimated that it is not easy to endure them.

Follow the troops, explain and demonstrate, find problems, point out deficiencies, correct actions, lead by example, must do, play basketball on the weekend, injured a little foot, when organizing training, leaned on the military car next to it to rest for a while, was discovered by the battalion commander, and was immediately called over for an education.

How can it be so harsh, after all, it is the company commander, it is normal to take a break, at that time I was still a little puzzled, the recruit company ended, and the acting company commander was notified, and it was speculated that the battalion commander may have known it for a long time, and it was a strict requirement before reuse.

Rigid requirements, not to cause desertion and change, let alone lower the requirements and lower the standards, this is an irreconcilable contradiction, has always been a small number of recruits born out of the idea of escape.

No matter how strict the prevention and control measures are, there are loopholes, and the recruit who died in the act of escaping found this loophole and escaped from the camp smoothly. One night, under the pretext of going to the toilet, I climbed into the back mountain, and when I found it, there was no trace.

The camp headquarters is located on flat ground, with a village in front and a small hill in the back, built at the foot of the mountain, and the toilets are built at the bottom of the back hill, and there is a radar station and a weather station for the camp headquarters on the mountain, and there is a narrow stone road next to the toilets.

The mountain cover is not fenced, the trees are densely grown, and the stone road is beside it, ready to drill in, this recruit usually looks a little stupid, but not confused, he may have been paying attention to it for a long time, and has been looking for opportunities.

The reason for their success has a certain relationship with their class leader, an undergraduate student who was directly admitted to a college from high school, has just graduated, is very smart, but his experience is insufficient, his personality is relatively weak, and he cannot show courage in front of recruits.

After the recruits became familiar with the environment, they knew that they could not beat or scold, and the initial sense of fear disappeared, and they dared to confront them face to face, and even deliberately made things difficult, but he had no choice.

It grew the arrogance of the recruits, boosted the courage to escape, and finally put it into action, and when they fled, it was this squad leader who led the class, and his vigilance was not high, so he did not follow as required, and after ten minutes, no one returned, so he panicked and hurriedly reported.

The recruits have not yet been awarded titles, to be precise, they have not yet entered the army, and they cannot be punished, so they will either criticize and educate them, or return to their hometowns, and completing the transformation is the meaning of the establishment of the recruit company.

There are also those who return to their hometowns, unless there are special circumstances, such as serious illness, serious cases, and the consent of the regiment headquarters and the approval of the military department, although it is rare, but it also occurs. When they return to their hometowns, the troops will inform the province of the reason, which will have a great impact on the local armed forces.

After this incident, the company concealed the situation and dealt with it in a low-key manner, only the military meeting made criticism, and the recruit did not suffer and did not accept the lesson, but became even more arrogant; in front of the squad leader, he often threatened to flee, did not obey management, and did not abide by discipline.

The squad leader was helpless and worried, so he approached me and the instructor and said that he couldn't sleep at night. Tong's eyes are red, his face seems to be a lot darker than before, he is physically and mentally exhausted, tired, he has a sense of responsibility, and he wants to be motivated, he encounters a problem, he doesn't want to retreat, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.

As cadres who have grown up as soldiers, how could we not know how to manage this kind of soldiers, but we can't break them, and after discussing with the instructors, we decided to make some adjustments for them.

The squad leader of the first squad came from the seventh company, a soldier born in the army, and I am most familiar with the situation, and we can also see the ability he showed, so he adjusted this recruit to his class.

Although I was a little reluctant, I gladly accepted, and I smiled and asked him, "Do you know how to manage it?" He replied briskly, and the instructor and I didn't say much, his answer had the unique flavor of a veteran in the army, and the answer didn't need to be broken.

On the night of the adjustment, I looked at the squad leader, made an appointment with the veteran squad leader of the platoon, followed the recruit to the toilet, and came back after a while.

There are always thorny soldiers in the army, and sometimes problems cannot be solved by ideological work alone, and those who have had experience as soldiers may know that not all of them are so obedient, and some may be among those who cannot be educated.

When the management of the troops is not standardized, this kind of miraculous effect is magnified, and it has even become a tradition of leading soldiers, so there is a simple and rude management.

Acting secretly, not being discovered, reaping the effect, this recruit has been very active since then, and he is proactive in everything, and the squad leader nodded behind him, especially attentive, seeing the veteran respectful, and no longer seeing the arrogance before.

After the recruit company ended, I had the idea of visiting family and taking leave again, I missed my family, I was patient, the recruit took a truck and was picked up by various companies, I found the instructor and applied for leave again, but it was rejected again.

Therefore, there were some emotions, the instructor was excited to plead, under the stage fright, he didn't say a few words, tears flowed, but despite this, he still didn't impress the instructor, and the leave was still not approved.

I had to return to the company, and about a week later, the regiment headquarters came to order me to serve as the acting company commander of the fifth company, and then the instructor smiled and said to me, "What should I do if the regiment headquarters can't find me on vacation?" ”

The face is thin, the smile is kind, the long-term smoking, the teeth are slightly dark, I don't feel the difference, but I feel that it adds a sense of intimacy.
