On December 1, 2005, for some people who have worked in a certain place, they knew that this was the day when the training of the recruit training base in a certain place in the northwest. Early in the morning, Wei Chen and others were woken up, then washed and had breakfast. During the breakfast process, he was suddenly notified: "Everyone hurried back to pack up after dinner, and gathered together in the company half an hour later!" During breakfast, Wei Chen only drank a bowl of rice porridge, two steamed buns and some pickles; to be honest, Wei Chen ate less than one-third of the things he had when he was at home, as for the reason

Wei Chen knew very well: after the recruits were assigned to each company, there would be oath-taking meetings; he didn't want to vomit out all the morning food while standing for a long time because he ate too much. He heard from his aunt that oath-taking meetings generally would not be less than two hours. First, there would be too many people who fainted for too long, and the time would be too short, and it would not be effective in killing the stick; second, it was also to improve the training passion of the new trainees; so Wei Chen just ate three to four points. After packing up his things, he hurried to the toilet.

It was soon time to gather. In front of the office building, everyone was holding things and standing crookedly waiting for the company to be distributed. At this time, a few people came not far outside the team. The captain of the new training base - Colonel He Weiguo. His other identity was the leader of the field infantry regiment, and the people following him were clerks. When he walked to the front of the team, the soldiers took the roster of the new training personnel and ran forward immediately:

"Report to the team leader! After the new training members have been assembled, there should be 1,200 people, but in fact, 1,200 people. Please instruct! The company commander of the second company on duty officer Zhang Yang!"

"Please relax! I am not the captain now, I come and see it as a veteran, come and join in the fun! It's okay! You guys continue!" He Weiguo said with a smile.

"Yes! Chief!"

The recruiting cadre then turned around and shouted to the team of the newly trained members:

"Listen to my order! Everyone squatted down! Immediately assign a company to you, those who clicked the name stood up and said 'arriving', and leave the line and wait for your company commander to pick you up! Now!" Then, according to the order of the roster, they began to name one by one; Wei Chen's name was relatively low, and while waiting anxiously, he finally heard his name:

"Wei Chen! Fifth squad, 2nd platoon, 2nd volley, 2nd volley, 2nd volley!"

"Yes!" Wei Chen replied. Then he carried the quilt and ran to the gathering place, setting up and turning the body. All the movements were very standard and completed in one go. However, his series of actions made out of conditioned reflexes made everyone see it, and it also changed his life. What will happen in detail later will be mentioned later! Coincidentally, Yu Xiaobao was also assigned to him.

"Classic!" He Weiguo pointed at Wei Chen and said to one of the documents, "Show me his information, don't disturb him first, and then find someone to touch his background; remember! Don't mention this matter to anyone. Don't let others steal such a good seedling!" He Weiguo seemed a little excited.

Nearly three hours have passed, and all the talents have been allocated; Wei Chen and his team were taken back by their company commander and assigned dormitories to each. When everyone thought that it was time to have dinner next, Wei Chen whispered:

"Don't be so optimistic first, take advantage of the time now and go to the bathroom. Remember! Never drink water!"

Everyone felt strange and asked, "Why can't you drink water?" Wei Chen kept silent. Even if Yu Xiaobao asked, he would not mention it at all! Just as everyone was sitting on the bed talking, someone in the corridor shouted:

"Everyone wears hats and wears belts and gathers downstairs immediately!"

Swearing-up meetings are generally collective activities held in the army, before major activities and decisions are made.

Soon everyone was dressed neatly and arrived at the downstairs of their company's dormitory.

"I will introduce myself first: my name is Gao Hong, the current company commander of the second company of the recruit company. In the next three months, I will be your company commander! Everyone! Take a break - stand at attention -! Each squad leader leads a team, form a three-way column, turn to the right! Target stadium! Step in line!" The company commander stood in front of the team and shouted.

In Wei Chen's queue, all Wei Chen's movements were the most standard, so they looked very conspicuous. However, the squad leader who was standing beside him saw it and was happy in his heart! When the queue arrived at the predetermined position, the company commander ordered:

"Stand upright!" So everyone stood there in an upright position.

At this time, the squad leader suddenly walked to Wei Chen's position and asked him:

"I am the squad leader of your class. My name is Wang Rong, Rong Rong of Honor!"

"Hello, squad leader! My name is Wei Chen!" Wei Chen replied politely.

"When I went to pick you up, I noticed that your movements were very standard, even more standard than me, the squad leader. If you perform well, you will have a future!" The squad leader Wang Rong patted his shoulder with deep meaning and said.

Wei Chen looked at this man with a northwest accent: the typical Northwest man has a thin, black, medium-sized body, clear and vivid eyes, and can see from his eyes that he has the unique straightforwardness of the Northwest man, and he is familiar with the standard flat heads commonly found in the army.

"My name is Du Hai! From now on, you are the battalion commander of the new recruits!" Battalion Commander Du came to the front of the team and shouted, then began to organize the team, "Everyone pay attention! Look right! Look forward! Take a moment - stand at attention!" After sorting out, he turned around and ran to the rostrum, saluted the captain and said:

"Report to Comrade Captain! The assembly was completed before the conference. Please give me instructions! Du Hai, the battalion commander on duty!"

"Implement as planned!" The captain returned to Battalion Commander Du.

"Yes!" One turned back and shouted to the team, "Now, do the first item: everyone! Turn half to the right - turn, salute the national flag and the national flag!" So everyone raised their hands to salute the military flag, and at the same time, Du Hai turned right and raised his hand to salute the national flag.

At this time, three guards walked out from the right side of the rostrum, one carried the national flag, one carried the military flag, and the other carried the meritorious flag, and walked forward to the left, playing the national anthem at the same time. After the national anthem was finished, the military song was played.

The second item is followed by the team leader’s speech - mainly high-end words such as “Welcome to make achievements and serve the country”; after the team leader’s speech, he will give a new recruit representative speech. The representative has been arranged, and basically arranges a veteran to speak on stage (remove the military rank sign first, because most of the new recruits will be stage frightened, and they will make mistakes when they are nervous on stage, which is also for the sake of safety).

The oath-taking meeting lasted for three hours. Sure enough, many new recruits fainted, vomited, and squatted because of lack of physical strength. However, He Weiguo, who was sitting on the rostrum, was surprised by Wei Chen's performance (I paid special attention to him). In the past three hours, the recruits fell down, and only he could stand there with a sharp look with a sharp look. He Weiguo saw it and was happy in his heart: "Good boy! It's not bad! Such a good seedling must bring you to me!"

By the end of the conference, it was almost dark. When we went back, there were almost few people who were lifting and supporting each other. There were basically few people who could still care about the cleanliness of the military. Those who didn't fall down were basically trembling with their legs. Those who couldn't get up could only be supported or supported by someone.

When these people finally returned to the dormitory, the squad leader Wang Rong came in and said to them:

"All of you go urinate quickly, drink a sip of water, and wait for the meal to start!" So these people (except Wei Chen is basically normal) barely supported their bodies and supported each other to go to the bathroom.

After dinner, Wei Chen and the others recovered their physical strength and felt much more relaxed. The news time had passed, but it was not too late to turn off the lights. The squad leader gave these people a new task: pressing the quilt! The so-called pressing the quilt is to fully compact and disperse the cotton inside the newly released quilt. The purpose is to better stack "tofu blocks". After pressing the quilt, the stacked quilt will feel layered, making the "tofu blocks" look more neat and unified. Just as everyone is pressing the quilt, each class

The commander and the platoon leader were called to the meeting by the company commander; the squad leader was gone, and the new recruits tried their best, so the methods of pressing the quilt became a variety of ways, and some used benches (small benches are horse stools, and later they were equipped with multi-functional stools, which is a later story), and used hand-pulled, and even more so, they directly watered the quilt in order to facilitate the shape of the quilt. Of course, this is a technical job, and those who have served as soldiers know this. Just when everyone was busy, the squad leader came in:

"Stand up!" The first person to see the squad leader come in immediately shouted (this is the regulation).

"Hello, squad leader!"

"Hello, squad leader!"

"Hello, squad leader!" the recruits shouted one after another.

"It's okay! I'll stop in my hands, let's get to know: my name is Wang Rong, and I'm your new recruit squad leader; I'm also a firearms mechanic, with a rank of sergeant (that is, a second-level non-commissioned officer), and the sixth year old soldier this year!" The squad leader seemed approachable and not as strict as the legendary veteran. Next, the new recruits introduced themselves one by one.

"Your recruits in this class are pretty good. Maybe they have been trained in the local area before, so it will save me much trouble! It's new to you. But remember: in some places, you can't enter before the formal title; some things are not something you can touch, such as weapons, everywhere here; the two cabinets in the class have seals on them, and they are filled with ammunition, but the ammunition here is just conventional combat ammunition, and no one can move except my orders.

; Cherish it! Tonight will be the last and most relaxing night. Remember, don’t sleep too hard at night! Now, you are just soldiers. Don’t bring bad habits in the local area, such as forming cliques, forming small teams, and peasing fellow villagers, and once you are discovered, you will be punished severely! Of course, I don’t want to see anyone withdrawn. (Retreat: refers to irreversible conditions during training, such as injury and disability, mental illness, sudden heart, brain disease, etc.) Have you remembered it?" said Wang Rong, the squad leader.
Chapter completed!
