Chapter 92: Assistant Staff Officer

With the regret that my dream can no longer be realized, I packed my bags again, left the Fifth Company, sent off my fellow villagers, and the instructor was reluctant, in their eyes, my tough back may be a little bleak, and the regiment headquarters made other arrangements to temporarily go to the combat training unit to help as a staff officer.

There is a foreign proverb that says, "If there is bread, there will be milk", which means not to be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you, and with loss and regret, life starts again, and struggle starts again.

It's just a pity that I have worked hard in the military, starting from the soldiers, working hard for three years in the academy and college, and accumulating in the army for three years.

The unit commander was the old company commander who had just graduated and was assigned to the first company, and he had some words of concern, and the feeling of living up to expectations arose spontaneously, and he was tormented in his heart, but he had always been very concerned about me, and maybe I could be the acting company commander with his efforts.

I remember when I was in the first company, the battalion commander with a slightly big personality once said that when I grew up to the main company, I just relied on personal efforts, and then I had to be good at handling relationships and seize opportunities.

It is no longer possible to serve as the commander of a combat company, and if the opportunity to be promoted again is lost, the most he can do is to go to a logistics support unit and take up the post of a regular company, and the political commissar is a fellow countryman, and a conversation said, if you take the road of political work, it would be good, and the unwritten regulations of the army show that military commanders have more say in the appointment of military cadres, and political officers have more say in the appointment of political work cadres.

The facts have come true, and the past has become a bumpy road. The single dormitory of the regiment headquarters has been full, and there is a two-story old house behind the office building, which is used to house single cadres who cannot live.

After getting off work, there is no need to worry about the soldiers, there is no need to check the post at all times, there is no need to check the equipment, and no one comes to check the post.

The company is on duty 24 hours a day, always nervous, and the habits that have been cultivated for a long time are actually a little uncomfortable, just experiencing setbacks, depressed and bored, and have no heart to go out, or colleagues to move around, and after work, they are locked in the room and enjoy the silence alone.

The instructor who first arrived at the first company to report to the company, arrived early to serve as an officer, understood his feelings, specially invited him to his home, prepared some wine and food, drank to the fullest, received sincere care, and patiently persuaded him.

As he said, there are a few people who can be smooth sailing, a few who can be promoted, and how many people don't even have the opportunity to experience as a commander, such as the battalion staff officer who once received the troops together, and the older ones such as the instructor in front of them, are equivalent to announcing their military careers, and they will stop from then on, waiting for the age to come and change jobs.

I was lucky enough to take the position of chief officer and stand at the pinnacle of my dreams, but I was just short of the last step to pick the fruits of my dreams.

Life goes on as usual, work is normal, after a long time, the mood is a lot calmer, and I begin to contact with colleagues, classmates who graduated at the same time, cadres who have worked together, and there are many in the agency.

Once I was invited out to dinner, full of wine and food, and offered to play mahjong together, which surprised me, not only is the institution comfortable and leisurely, but it can also get together at night for such entertainment, and then I learned that there is more abundant, singing and dancing in the dance hall, and there are often there, with those younger undergraduates who love to participate, I didn't fit in.

During this period, he was arranged to follow the regiment commander to a battalion to inspect the training situation, and asked to write a briefing, but he did not know the format or the word, and at this time he realized that he was indeed average in ability, limited in level, and perhaps not reused, which was related to this.

Although the college has found it when it was a time, and has made continuous efforts to achieve it, it has not been practiced, in fact, there is no substantial improvement, and there is a direction of effort in the confusion, and I remember that this information report took three days and was revised countless times.

In the future, the political department often moved around for the purpose of taking the initiative to undertake combat plans, training programs, and official documents, because there were more materials, and the requirements for official documents were more systematic and standardized.

I have to admit that this blow was too big, and the mood was not easy to calm down, and it was not until a month or two later that I calmed down a little.

The basketball court behind the office building, there are often warriors and cadres playing basketball there, and there are also enthusiasts in the same room, and after the mood calms down a little, they start to run here, not only to play, but also to vent in sweating.

On the east side of the office building is the regimental command center, and when it is the turn of the combat duty, we live in it 24 hours a day, and we serve as the duty officer, and the regiment commander serves as the head of the shift, and we also have to stay in it.

The director of the political department who criticized me for my show in the inspection work of the company once was on duty with me, and when we met in the evening, there was a conversation, which was regarded as a heart-to-heart conversation, more like a family routine, and did not say what problems and shortcomings I had, but asked about some past experiences, vaguely mentioned my possible whereabouts, and learned my age, and said with a smile that at this age he was about to be promoted to the chief officer of the main battalion.

It's vague, but you can guess a rough idea, it should be similar to what you speculated, and sure enough, it is a logistics support post, and there is a whereabout, but there is less anxiety, waiting for the order, rushing to the post, maybe there is the last stop of the military career.

The good news came that not long after leaving the Fifth Company, the regimental headquarters organized a military parade, the live-ammunition target shooting task was canceled, the parade was carried out as usual, and the officers and men were led to train hard to lay the foundation.

In previous years, there was no target task, the parade was carried out at the airport, borrowed a runway, and now it is the same, the scene is in sight, the process is familiar, there are differences, the participants used to be, now they are spectators, as an assessor, observing and judging the results.

It was not me who saluted in three steps, nor was I the one who came on stage to receive the award, nor was I in the cheers of the crowd, the glory belongs to them, and everything has nothing to do with me.

It seems that after this military parade, the commander of the unit was promoted to the battalion commander of the first company, and two old staff officers were left in the unit, both of whom were local undergraduates and had strong business, and one of them was assigned to be temporarily in charge.

The end of the year is coming, the Spring Festival is approaching, and I will take a vacation again, this time to go home to get married, and my depressed mood will be slightly lightened.

After returning to the army, in March, he met the cadres of the organizational adjustment again, and was appointed to the meteorological station in Fuzhou as the station chief, the barracks were rebuilt, and the radar station was merged to form a new branch, and at the same time he was appointed as the secretary of the branch of the two stations.

At the time of parting, perhaps because I was usually quite regular and hard-working, the staff officers and soldiers of the unit gathered together to hold a lively farewell ceremony for me, and also presented some souvenirs as a deep friendship forged in the past half a year, and carefully treasured it.

Three years later, at the end of his tenure, when he was waiting for the transfer assignment, he returned to the regiment headquarters, this time not as a staff officer, but as an assistant, subordinate to logistics, and his post was military transportation.

Although the room is small, the design is reasonable, the front room is a kitchen with a bathroom, the back is a bedroom and living room, it is quite spacious, the bedroom is connected to a balcony, full of light, and I lived here for a year.

The head of the unit treats people sincerely, and there is a young assistant who has only graduated for one or two years, and there are only three of us as cadres, and there are several soldier drivers, who are responsible for the management and support of the military vehicles of the whole regiment.

During the period, I wanted to use my work to get a driver's license, and I reported to Nankong, but I was told that I had to pay 2,000, and I felt that it was not worth it.

At that time, there was a task to pick up the car, I wanted to go, the regiment headquarters considered exercising the newcomers, and finally the young assistant took a soldier to go, it was okay not to go, to go by car, to drive back, the journey was tiring, they could take the opportunity to go home, and I was facing a change of job, and soon I would have to pick up a backpack and go home, which was convenient and unnecessary.

However, he was arranged to pick up a bus in nearby Xiamen, and the regiment headquarters decided to buy a local vehicle, which was conducive to concealing his identity and keeping his identity secret during the inspection work, and after the car was purchased, it would be used as the No. 2 car by the political commissar.

I brought a veteran to see the bustle of the car market, and I also saw the high price, and it was the first time for me to spend such a huge amount of money at one time. Until the vehicle is bought, there is a sense of unreality.

Being in logistics, and other quartermasters, finance, and other units, so there is a lot of contact, but there is a lot of convenience, and the training team previously regarded it as a mysterious munitions warehouse, but also had to enter it many times, and found that it can be purchased, and the price is quite cheap.

At this time, my father fell in love with fishing, so he bought him a few things as equipment, camouflage clothes, camouflage bags, camouflage shoes, and my father was happy for a while, saying that his fishing friends had shown off in front of him, saw the real thing, boasted endlessly, and wanted his father to help him buy it, but my father was worried that I would have an impact, so he politely refused.

In a year's time, I also went to the largest munitions support office in Zhangzhou to pull and transport military supplies, only to know what is a small thing, warehouses one after another, all kinds of military support items are piled up, no wonder the warehouse keeper is fat.

The shell casings left behind by the shooting range were also pulled out and disposed of and sent to a remote place, where ammunition was specially destroyed and all kinds of ammunition of different sizes were piled up in a large area.

The shell shell has a round barrel-shaped plastic packaging, which is a very good container when cut, and a shell shell, in fact, is not worth much, it was generally made of iron before, which is easy to corrode, and then it was all changed to copper, the price of copper is much higher than that of iron, and the iron shell is generally destroyed, while the copper shell is to be recycled and reused again.
