Col. Thanh and new female soldiers |
During the visit, Colonel Nguyen Thi Thanh, Deputy Head of the Military Women Advisory Board, required the female recruits to uphold their sense of responsibility, train hard to accomplish the training season, contributing to beautifying the tradition of military women and upholding the good virtues of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the new situation.
Private Dang Thi Thu Thuy (Squad 11, Platoon 3, Company 15) shared that in the early days of military service, they felt unfamiliar with the military environment, worried about their health and missed home. However, with the support of chains-of-command at all levels, they quickly overcame these challenges. Living in the military environment, they have gained a better understanding of the duties and responsibilities of soldiers of the Vietnam People’s Army.
