When I was discharged from the army in 1980, I had already boarded the train to return home. Zhang staff officer of the division organ chased me on the train and stopped me
Later, I was sent to the cadre training brigade for training, and then I worked as the head of the security office of the group army.
I have been retired for more than ten years, but when I recall my experience as a soldier, I am glad that I met the leader who loves soldiers. Otherwise, I would not be today.
1 Teenagers running to school
My home is in a small and remote county in the north of Henan. However, our county is very special. The county is in Henan, but the county seat is built on the site of Yingtaoyuan Township, Xin County, Shandong Province, to the north of Jindi River. There are few such county seats in the country.
Here is another jingle: there is Henan County in Shandong Province, there is a Shandong township in Henan County, there is a Henan village in Shandong township, and Shandong people live in Henan village. Look, the ownership of Shandong and Henan people here seems to be a bit chaotic.
The children of our village include our generation. From primary school to junior high school, they all go to school in Yingtaoyuan Township, Henan Province. It is 12 miles from home to school. After I was 7 years old, I followed my brothers and sisters to school every day, rain or shine, and the most expensive thing in these years is shoes.
The sole and vamp of Momma's shoes are more than one centimeter thick. They are made by sticking layers of rags and paste, drying them, and sewing them closely with needles and threads. However, these are handmade shoes. I wear them once a year. Momma once laughed at me for wearing shoes like eating shoes. The soles of the shoes are worn through, and the soles can be seen from the bottom hole.
Long years of day reading made me walk fast and grow tall, but I didn't want to
When I arrived in the army, I was selected to the guard class because of my quick action and fast running. Later, I became the guard of the leader.
2. Join the army
At the end of 1977, when I was 17 years old, the news of military conscription made a family with heavy family burdens see the light of day. I was the third child in my family, and so many mouths pressed my parents out of breath. When I heard the news of military conscription, it was like catching the straw for life. My father couldn't wait to let my eldest brother take me to the commune to register.
However, the military conscription requires a male to be 18 years old. When my elder brother registered me for conscription, he directly advanced my birth time by one year. Therefore, the birth time column in my file has since become 1959. Fortunately, one year ahead of schedule has little impact.
On December 19, I went through all the procedures of physical examination and political trial, and also put on a new green military uniform. On December 22, we went to the army more than 300 kilometers away. After that, my new comrades in arms and I spent a tense and standardized life of training recruits.
However, to my surprise, when the training of new recruits was over, the division guard company came to pick people, but it was the deputy company commander of our new recruits company who was responsible for the selection. Then I knew that the deputy company commander was the deputy company commander of the guard company.
During the three months of training for new recruits, the vice company commander trained and lived with us every day, running long distances, playing basketball
In the 5km cross-country race, I was the first one directly selected by the deputy company commander as a top-notch shooter with a height of 1.78 meters, good comprehensive quality and special ability to run. Later, nine of our selected recruits followed the deputy company commander to the division guard company.
3 Serve as a guard for the head
The next day when I arrived at the guard company, I was assigned to the chief of staff of the division as a guard, and other new comrades were assigned to other chiefs of the division as guards. On the same day, the company commander took me to find the staff officer Zhang of the division organ and reported to the chief of staff of the division Xing.
Chief of Staff Xing was very busy. When we arrived at the door of his office, several people were waiting at the door, so we had to wait in an empty room next to him. After a while, Chief of Staff Xing went out to the toilet, and just met Chief of Staff Zhang and the company commander standing at the door. I paid a military salute to Chief of Staff Xing in the corridor, and Chief of Staff Xing returned a salute and looked me up and down. It was obvious that the chief knew that I was his new guard.
The former guard of the chief hasn't left yet (the old guard will go down to the company to be the squad leader). He took me to the office and home of Chief of Staff Xing when the chief was resting. First, he recognized the door. Second, he introduced the work content and precautions of the guard. Later, I learned that the guard of the chief didn't follow him with a gun behind to protect him, But as a helper of the head in his work and life, he does some trivial and small auxiliary work.
Every day before the head goes to work and after work, I have to go to the head's office and tidy up the desk. Except for the materials and documents that the head has left a note that will not be moved, I usually put the documents and materials on the desk in order
Clean up the garbage in the wastebasket (shredded paper cannot be dumped into the trash can, but is stored in a centralized manner and burned regularly), clean the water cup and ashtray, clean up, and fill the kettle with water.
However, when I returned to the home of Chief of Staff Xing, I took a cloth bag to the kitchen to make breakfast for the head's family. Sometimes, I took care of the elderly and children.
However, before I accepted this task, the company commander gave us a special lesson, saying that it is the duty of the security personnel to do a good job. More importantly, as the staff around the leader, they should be upright, dignified, quick in thinking, flexible in reflection, diligent and quick in hand, clean and efficient, and especially have a strong sense of confidentiality Those contacted cannot go out and talk nonsense, even relatives, fellow townsmen, comrades in arms or classmates are no exception.
The company commander also told us that to be a guard for the leader is the trust of the organization, to reduce the unnecessary burden of the leader's work and family life, and to let the leader focus on the army building.
At ordinary times, the staff officer of the organ chapter is responsible for the daily management of our guards. In case of work problems, he will call us to a meeting, deploy tasks, comment on the work, and put forward requirements. If we have any difficulties, we will also report to him. In general, we do not report to the guard company about our work, and the guard company generally does not interfere in our work except for the payment of allowances, clothing, meals and other matters.
4 Take care of the leader's family life
I conscientiously did the daily work and life of Chief of Staff Xing day after day according to the requirements of Chief of Staff Zhang,
Gradually, Chief of Staff Xing expressed his appreciation for my work, saying that I was conscientious, responsible and flexible.
In March 1979, Chief of Staff Xing's father was seriously ill in his hometown. After staying home for two days, Chief of Staff Xing hurried back to the army, leaving his wife (the guards are called aunts) to take care of the elderly in his hometown and be filial to him. However, Chief of Staff Xing's children were in the army's family home, and had to go to school every day. The chickens fed at home had to be fed regularly. Chief of Staff Xing told me about this situation, I immediately understood the meaning of the head, saying that the head should rest assured that these are trivial matters and I can do well.
After that, for more than a month, I ate and stayed at the head's house, fed the children every day, cleaned the house, and fed chickens. Of course, I also took time to clean the head's office. Every day, I was very busy. Fortunately, I was quick and fast, and I didn't delay both sides of Chief of Staff Xing.
Later, my aunt came back, and my work was a little easier. However, the head and aunt praised my work endlessly and said to Staff Advisor Zhang many times that they had praised me.
One weekend, Chief of Staff Xing took a rest at home. When he saw me entering the room, he greeted me. The chief asked me about my education background and the situation at home for the first time, so I reported my situation to the chief. The chief didn't say much after listening, but said that I did a good job. If I had time, I should learn from Chief of Staff Zhang and the company commander, If you have time, you should go to the grass roots for some exercise.
5 Return to the company to be a soldier
At that time, I didn't understand what the chief said, but I felt that the chief was not satisfied with my work, and I worked more carefully.
At the beginning of 1980, Staff Officer Zhang informed me that after the Spring Festival, I returned to the guard company. The head of the company had arranged a new guard to take over the job. After I handed over to the new guard, I had to return to the guard company to take on the daily duty. But I had an extra responsibility, and I was appointed as the deputy head of the guard team.
After returning to the company for a long time, I was depressed. I felt that I had done a good job and suddenly asked me to return to the company. The company commander and the instructor were even more strict with me. Although they said they also taught me methods, I had a knot in my heart and was not very happy with my work.
The time in the company passed quickly. In the late autumn, the annual veterans' demobilization was coming. The company carried out a special education of "one heart, two hands preparation". As a veteran who had completed his service, I was also in the range of demobilization, and I was also prepared for demobilization.
On November 18, the work of veterans' demobilization began. Soon, the company's Party branch announced the list of veterans. In this list, I recalled my work since I joined the army, and felt that I had worked hard and fulfilled my obligations. It was also time to go home and think about my future.
6. Demobilized and pulled off the train
On November 21, the camp broadcast played the song of seeing off comrades in arms repeatedly. After our retired comrades and I ate the last big meal in the army, we stepped on the bus to see off. Soon we arrived at the railway station. The railway station opened the green channel specifically for us to board the train returning home from the side door.
However, just as the train was about to start, Staff Advisor Zhang ran into the carriage breathlessly. After he found me
Without saying a word, I was asked to pack my backpack and get off the train. I was immediately confused. When I hesitated, the train started. When Staff Advisor Zhang saw that it was broken, he turned to his comrade in arms outside the train and told his driver, Xiao Wang, to pick him up at the next station of the train.
Staff Counsellor Zhang took me aside and took out a notice, which said that I and some other comrades in arms would go to the training team to study. I asked inexplicably, I have all retired. Is it still useful? Staff Advisor Zhang took my hand and apologized. Sorry, sorry. Recently, he was busy with veterans' demobilization work and several materials. He worked overtime day and night and was confused. But I had received this notice long ago and forgot it when I put it in the pile of materials on my desk
Later, we got off the train at the next station, and the military vehicles hurried to arrive. On the way back to the army, Chief of Staff Zhang said that Chief of Staff Xing attached great importance to you. He thought you had the valuable qualities of rural children, such as plain living, hardworking, steadfast and hardworking. It was a good young man. The head asked you to return to the company and intended to train you. Now he wants you to go to the cadres to teach the team for training, go back to pay close attention to the physical examination, and then report to the training team.
I was appointed platoon leader of the guard company after 8 months of training in the cadre training brigade.
Later, I successively served as the deputy company commander, company commander, division security section officer and section chief of the guard company. After the army was streamlined and reorganized, I worked as the deputy director and director of the security office of the group army,
In 2010, I left the army where I had worked and lived for 33 years and retired from the post of director.
The division of labor in the army is different, and everyone has different tasks. Each of us is a screw in national defense construction!
Destiny, live up to those who work hard!
When a person does what he should do and puts his effort into it, success lies in it and the future lies in it.
