New recruits watch the documentary "Cu Chi’s guerillas" and are introduced to the underground tunnel system, including hospitals, bed rooms, kitchens, storage rooms, workrooms, and so on. Afterwards, new recruits also pay respect to the heroic martyrs at the Ben Duoc Temple. Witnessing firsthand the artifacts and authentic scenery of life over 40 years ago, each new recruit have a chance to learn about the arduousness and hardship of the struggle of the Cu Chi armed forces and civilians, as well as the indomitable will, intelligence, and creativity in combat of the troops and people there.
