Leaving the army and retiring from active service, as long as the military has a long military experience, you can call yourself a veteran in front of the short military age, which is a kind of respect and a kind of pride, and has nothing to do with the real age, and it has nothing to do with how long the military has been, even if you become a soldier one day earlier, you are a veteran.

If you don't leave the army, it's different, veterans are not so easy to call, often mean that the military quality is excellent, unless the last year of soldiers, no one dares to easily call themselves veterans, at least they will be ridiculed, or at worst they may be repaired by real veterans, if the company cadres hear it, they will definitely be severely reprimanded.

In 1985, the military rank system was restored, and the ranks of soldiers were divided into private, private, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant.

In the first year of enlistment, recruits are awarded titles, and the first thing they are awarded is the rank of private, if they do not serve as squad leaders, they are automatically promoted to senior soldiers in the second year, and in the third and fourth years they are corporal and sergeant respectively, and those who serve as squad leaders are promoted to the rank of one level.

After the reform of the non-commissioned officer system, the compulsory military was changed to a two-year system, and in the third year, they were converted to a non-commissioned officer, and they could call themselves veterans.

The monotony and boredom of the troops, especially the combat companies, are more strictly managed than the organs and logistics, there are fewer opportunities to go out, and the sabbatical requirement is once every two years.

Whenever a soldier comes back from a family vacation, he is always surrounded by people, sharing what he has seen and heard at home, tasting the local products brought by his hometown, which can be lively for a while, and even the family members of the soldiers come to visit the team, and several fellow villagers are always around, listen to the sound of their hometown, ask about their hometown, so as to relieve some loneliness and loneliness.

When the soldier is in the fourth year, the youth is restless, the environment is familiar, the qualifications are old, the squad leader is already difficult to manage, some people who are active and good at exploiting loopholes, will always change their ways to slip out, and from time to time will deliberately give the squad leader some problems, if the squad leader is shorter, there is really nothing to do.

There is nothing to be done about such veterans, some of them have not received honors, some have not served as squad leaders or deputy squad leaders, and some have not made meritorious contributions to join the party, so how to come here may have to go back, and the company cadres often turn a blind eye to them, and there is no merit and hard work, and they have been crawling in a trench for a few years, eating in a pot for a few years, and with a little feeling, they will not easily scold, let alone make a small matter bigger, and use disciplinary punishment.

Not to mention the squad leader, if the company cadres have poor prestige and weak ability, they may still not be able to command and do not listen to their words, especially the platoon commanders who have just graduated, and they will even be treated as recruits.

When our platoon commander was about to be assigned, the situation was fine, because of the small number of soldiers in the 91 year, most of the 92 soldiers who were in the third year served as the squad leader, and our squad leader was too simple and was not bullied.

I heard from the veterans that a platoon commander before our platoon commander was once called Xiao Zhang by the veterans at that time, and on the first day of registration, he was asked to clean up with the recruits and tidy up the vegetable patch together.

The name of the soldier in the army has some specific meanings, some meanings are still very rich, and those who have not been soldiers may not be able to fully understand, different military ages have different names, recruits are called recruit eggs, veterans are called veteran oil, and the most common thing to hear is "hanging soldier". Either way, be cautious and don't scream indiscriminately, otherwise you will be considered insulted and may provoke conflicts.

Just enlisted in the recruit company, has not yet been awarded the rank, at this time the recruit can call them recruit eggs, but the recruit company is over, down to the old company, you should pay attention, unless the second year of high school or above, or the squad leader and company cadres, otherwise do not easily call the recruit eggs, recruits also have dignity, just after the recruit company oppression, self-esteem is recovering, easy to get excited, will think that it is suffering from contempt and shame.

Unless the prestige is quite high for squad leaders or company cadres, no one dares to call veteran oilers in front of veterans, and in most cases, it is still taken as a joke.

The greater the difference in military age or position, the stronger the concern and the thicker the feelings reflected.

"Hanging soldiers" are generally used to refer to the soldiers who love to be naughty and difficult to manage, but they are not the same as scolding and dissatisfaction, and those who violate discipline and make mistakes will be called "hanging soldiers", and they will be laughed at and called "hanging soldiers" if they have made outstanding contributions to achieve excellent results.

Before the loud reprimand, a sentence of "hanger" begins, sincerely appreciates and deliberately praises, a sentence of "hanger" ends, reunion after a long absence, and an unexpected meeting, a sentence of "hanger" is called each other, love and hate are intertwined, how many feelings are in it, can only be tasted by the parties.

In the words of veterans, in the fourth year of being a soldier, they are not oily, but these veterans are the treasures of the company, they have also undergone strict training, each has its own unique skills, and they are all business experts and technical backbones.

The company is generally served by the squad leader as the company attendant, the squad leader is not served by the deputy squad leader, and sometimes the veteran with excellent military quality will be served.

At the critical moment, it is the evaluation of the veterans by many company commanders, don't look at the usual sparse and sparse pulling, it is even difficult to see them during training, but when it comes to martial arts competitions, they can often get rankings, participate in live ammunition target shooting, there is no mistake or omission, organize equipment and materials, operate weapons, familiar movements, superb skills, no one can compare.

For example, I participated in several competitions, but they were all defeated by fourth-year veterans, no matter whether the methodology is unscientific or not, they have their own set of experience, stable results, and shoot at critical times, which is enough to stand out.

Shooting targets with live ammunition, there are very few first-year soldiers like me, and the vast majority of veterans are called back to their posts.

It is said that before we became the company commander, the company's management of veterans was relatively relaxed, and there were many stories, such as not staying in the company's dormitory at night, but living in a small ammunition depot for each weapon on the position.

There are also those who violate the discipline of the army and fall in love with local young women, and their level is very high and their abilities are good, and even the female students of nearby universities can catch up, and some of them are very bold and take them to the small ammunition depot in the position to stay overnight.

The air force and navy units, the four-year compulsory military regulations, since the specific start of the specific beginning, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, when needed, to pull out the ability to run and win, and there are technical experts in every post.

The disadvantage is that the living environment is boring and monotonous for a long time, and the personality will be affected, and in the fourth year of being a soldier, it is rare to see veterans get together to talk about it, mostly taciturn, it seems that there is always something on the mind, and some people may also have some perverted behavior.

After more than ten years in the army, I have seen too many such personality distortions, such as the slightly teasing strict training of the squad leaders of our recruit company, which is already quite light, and later I saw the squad leader with the recruits, burning the hands of the recruits with cigarette butts, punching and kicking heavily, leaving bruises and bruises.

I have seen a recruit who was beaten and swollen on the left side of his face, and it has not subsided, and he made a mistake in training, and he was about to be beaten again, so he took the initiative to give up his right cheek and begged the squad leader not to hit the left side again. As for the looting of recruits' money and goods, corporal punishment in disguise is countless.

I have also seen a few veterans, hiding in the dark on the side of the road, showing ** when there are young women, fleeing in a hurry after being discovered, seriously daring to flirt in person, or shopping in the car and other crowded situations, vaguely touching women's sensitive parts, so they have been investigated and punished, and even ordered to be repatriated, there are not a few.

Four years is indeed too long, and in the last two years, in addition to participating in important actions such as martial arts competitions and target shooting, it can be said that I am thinking of ways to pass the time. Cleaning the sanitary environment, maintaining weapons, arranging vegetable patches, etc., all the work is undertaken by recruits and second-year soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of youth to do nothing.

It is precisely the age when you are about to enter the society and seek future development, the allowance is meager, no matter how strong the skills of the army are, it is useless to go to the locality, and you are worried about how to gain a foothold in society after being discharged from the army, which can calm down, and who can calm down.

The impact of the four years was so strong, when the reform of the non-commissioned officer system first came out, I was left to the company how to do its work, and at that time, none of the veterans in my company were willing to stay, and I, as a platoon commander, also participated in the work, and I especially understood their feelings, but with little effect.
