Chapter 86 Serving as a Platoon Commander
It was also about a week or two, the company's adaptation time was over, the assignment order came down, the fellow villager and another undergraduate stayed in the fifth company, the rest went to the various companies, and I and another undergraduate student were assigned to the first company.
Fate reincarnates, the recruit company ends, the first company assigned to the old unit, tosses and turns, leaves for three years, returns to the combat unit again, the assigned company is still a company, and starts a two-and-a-half-year platoon commander process.
Soon after I registered, I was appointed, and I served as the commander of the instrument platoon, and my undergraduate students served as the commander of the command platoon.
After receiving the first month's salary and a meager allowance for more than five years, I said goodbye from this moment, perhaps from this moment on, I can truly achieve employment, and I no longer have to worry about making a living from employment.
The panic of employment after graduating from high school has a deep impact, and for a long time, there are always dreams where high school and colleges are intertwined.
Appears many times, the scene is similar, the memory is clear, a school, the environment is the integration of high school and colleges, the identity is the integration of high school students and college students, around whether there is a job assignment in the future, study for three years, worry about three years.
The first month's salary was 750 yuan, and I wrote to my father with some ridicule that the first time I received my salary, it was higher than my father's salary.
In the second year, the reform of the non-commissioned officer system opened the prelude to military reform, like a great tide sweeping through the troops, the salary was raised, and the salary rose to more than 1,000 yuan.
Compared with Wulian, the location of Yilian is more remote, a highland, surrounded by a piece of sugarcane, almost to the harvest season, dense and vigorous, and a bamboo forest, growing in clusters, is the cash crop of the local villagers, the production of bitter bamboo shoots is carefully cultivated, can be harvested in four seasons.
The weapons and equipment are like the old company, and the housing is also like the old company, with a sense of familiarity everywhere, the weapons on the position are displayed, and the bunker is storehouse, as in the past, between the command position and the artillery position, it is a neat vegetable field, which is more neatly organized than the old company.
Dream start, forge ahead, work hard, career starting point, cast loyalty, write brilliant, everything will start from here.
At that time, most of the battalion and company commanders were military students, and some soldiers were directly promoted to work, and in my impression, it seemed that only the chief of staff was an undergraduate, not a graduate of a military academy, but a special recruit from Xiamen University.
At the military conference, the company commander asked us to introduce ourselves, and after a brief introduction of our growth experience, we always maintained a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility, and encouraged all the comrades-in-arms present.
The undergraduate classmates are speech geniuses, a few sentences fully show a strong literary foundation, three years in college, different apprenticeships, only acquaintance, not much contact, I don't know that he has such a deep ability to express.
At the same time, an undergraduate student assigned to the second company had stronger writing skills, and as soon as he arrived at the company, the instructor handed over the summary of the camp to the two of them to write, and the students of the first company would seriously conceive it, and the students of the second company did not play the draft, and they did it with a wave.
When the two camps were in college, there were disputes from time to time, with some hostile flavor, and now they are divided into a company, in a strange environment, and no one knows each other with a black eye, but it seems very close, and only after contact does they know that the two are masters of writing when they are in college.
The company is remote, the nearest village is still two or three hundred meters, this village past, and then two or three hundred meters, is the battalion headquarters, the battalion headquarters is relatively lively, from here, all the way through, are villages, among which there are several not small enterprises.
At the end of the year, the recruits enlisted, and a recruit company was established in the battalion, and our company commander was designated as the commander of the recruit company, and took me to serve as the platoon commander of the recruit company.
The recruit company is set up in the automobile company, and in another remote rural area, the front-line troops are strictly managed, and the practice of the old troops is no longer seen, and the meals of the cadres and soldiers are the same, there is no small stove, and there is no difference.
At the end of the century, a new era will be ushered in, the times are different, the thinking is also different, the recruits are obviously more active than we were in the past, especially the recruits who were conscripted into the army in the coastal provinces, have more knowledge, are more courageous, and their pockets are more bulging.
For the troops, this is not a good thing, so there are more ideas, and they are more afraid of hardship, bullied by the squad leader, and want to run at every turn.
Bad habits also exist, veterans who serve as squad leaders in recruit companies, some of them have good qualities, and some of them are taken as a kind of care; during their service, they did not make meritorious contributions, did not join the party, and did not become squad leaders, and in the last year, they showed concern when they became squad leaders in recruit companies.
Taking advantage of the strict management of the prevention of deserters, the luggage of recruits was searched, the belongings were occupied, and the custody was entangled, which was still reflected in some squad leaders.
There is no experience in leading soldiers, and they have been strictly trained and strictly managed for a long time, and some veterans have brought some venting psychology, which is a little perverted, the method is simple, and even rough, and corporal punishment occurs from time to time, and some recruits can stretch out their hands and press out cigarette butts with their palms.
I used to be a recruit, and I was particularly disgusted with these practices, and I wanted to change them, and on the grounds that I couldn't be disturbed by my light sleep at night, the veteran squad leader was not allowed to conduct an emergency assembly at will, but as a platoon commander who had just graduated, his prestige was not enough to completely deter these veterans, and secretly repairing recruits happened from time to time behind his back.
The recruit company has three platoons, each platoon has four squads, and according to the numerical sequence, it is divided into one to three platoons and one to twelve squads. I am a platoon leader and manage shifts one to four.
A platoon of two rooms, I live in this room is fine, the other room, there is always constant movement at night, that is the veteran took the opportunity to renew the new soldier in the room, sometimes in the name of the shop to enter, it is not good to say the veteran, drink the order why the recruit does not sleep, such as amnesty, have quickly burrowed into the bed.
Check the items and utensils, tuck the quilt corners, kill it for a while, make noises, and then chat softly with the veterans for a while, to ensure that the recruits have a stable sleep, and they can only do this, once they leave, there will be movement soon.
Perhaps this approach is counterproductive, and some veterans are too impure in their minds, thinking that I am imposing interference, and they will not show it in person, and they have intensified their backs, and once they stayed for a longer time, and they could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
After changing jobs, a recruit in this class found me in a WeChat group and made a long phone call, saying that the reason why he contacted me was because the recruits had received care and love when they were in the company.
I have forgotten what he mentioned, and after mentioning it, it was clearly presented in my mind, there was a recruit who made a mistake in the queue and was going to be beaten by the squad leader, and took the initiative to give up the other side of his face, saying that the swelling here has not gone away and it hurts, please hit the other side of the squad leader, he saw me stop it, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes when he saw me stop it.
At that time, he had the habit of getting up early to run, and he said that one day when I came back from running, I saw him go out of the hospital to buy something at the small shop next to him without permission, and he didn't say anything as if he didn't see anything, let alone tell the squad leader, and he regarded him as a love, and he wrote it down with the care shown by another recruit before, thinking that I was a good person.
A good person may be my highest evaluation, and later served in other companies, and after changing jobs, I often heard such evaluations, mostly from the mouths of soldiers and service objects, in fact, I am not very satisfied with such evaluations, because I want to hear that I have strong work ability and outstanding professional level.
Whether the ability is strong or not, the level is outstanding, not that I can evaluate, as a direction to continue to work hard, the evaluation of a good person, is an accessory to continuous efforts, it will inevitably appear, it is a kind of affirmation.
In the military parade of '99, the army transferred many soldiers to Beijing for closed training for a year, and when they were first transferred, they were still in academies, and some of the students were selected, because I was not tall enough, I didn't even have the opportunity to sign up, and I couldn't participate, which is a deep regret.
I served as the platoon commander's instrument platoon, but there was a soldier who was selected, and after being inspected in front of Tiananmen Square, he returned to the unit, so he was awarded the third-class merit by the regiment headquarters.
The level of the platoon is indeed good, the training method is unique, I regarded it as a pacesetter, explained and demonstrated to the recruits, and promoted the whole platoon with the methods he brought, so that the platoon training of our platoon was obviously more standardized and neat than other platoons.
Therefore, the company commander often brought the platoon commanders and squad leaders of other platoons to our platoon for observation, but after the observation, the results were not very obvious, and there was still an obvious gap every time they could exercise.
Assigned to the company, half a year, spent like this, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the military rank was assigned, a brand new second lieutenant epaulettes, and the undergraduate students of the same period wore the rank of lieutenant.
Graduated at the same time, the relationship is relatively good, among the platoon commanders there is also an undergraduate who graduated a year earlier, with a kind personality and a little honest, the deputy company commander is a student of the army, a native of the army, this regiment was admitted to the military academy, and after graduation, he returned to this regiment.
The recruit company ended, and by March, the cadres were adjusted, and the undergraduates who had graduated a year earlier were transferred to the organs as officers, and a deputy instructor and a new company commander were transferred.
The old company commander was promoted and transferred to the post of deputy battalion commander in charge of combat training, because I was relatively proficient in instruments and wanted to take me to my side as a staff officer.
The distinction between military ranks may be the difference, the army advocates youthfulness and quality, and undergraduates account for both, and since then they have gradually moved to the forefront, and the army has become their stage.
