After the three-month training season, the acquired knowledge and skills have motivated the recruits to feel more confident to start a new journey.

Enlisted into the military for about a month, Private Tran Thanh Sang from Tay Son district (Binh Dinh province), a soldier of Platoon 3 (Company 5), collapsed when he heard the terrible news that his older sister suddenly passed away.

A new soldier confidently performs contents of the “three-explosions” test.

With the close attention and encouragement of the Party Committee, commanders and comrades, Sang gradually went through the pain, trained hard days and nights to accomplish all assigned missions. Completing the training season for new recruits, he achieved excellent results in “three-explosions,” political, logistic and technical tests. He became a shining example for other young soldiers.

Private Rmah Giao, a soldier of Platoon 9 (Company 7), is a member of Gia Rai ethnic people in Phu Thien district (Gia Lai province). Although he is quite tall and agile, on his first days in the military, he was always self-deprecating when performing the skill of throwing grenades. After training hard to increase his physical strength and receiving wholehearted support from the head of the squad, his skill was improved greatly.

Obtaining an excellent result in the “three-explosions” test, and being a familiar face in art exchange programs, Private Nguyen Hong Thu from Tay Son district, Binh Dinh, a soldier of Platoon 9, was honored to be chosen in the list of outstanding individuals to read ten Oaths of Honor of soldiers of the Vietnam People’s Army during the swearing-in ceremony for new enlistees the next month.
