3. New recruits' life

Pain is strength.

The instructors of the naval training base often say this, which is also one of the adages of the navy. I don't know if the air force has such a motto. But I have realized the deep meaning of this sentence little by little in the future years of war.

Three months of intensive training is simply a test of people's will than the Devil's Valley March. Every morning, we get up on time at 5 o'clock and run to the playground to gather in the shouts of the instructor.

Some people forget to wear trousers because they are too nervous. Tens of thousands of people in the whole training base stand neatly on the playground like a big green forest. If there is a bright spot, it is very conspicuous, and a pair of white underwear is the focus of attention.

It happens that our instructor is also a strong woman in the navy, Captain Ross. She hates men standing in front of her in their underwear, and she hates any form of sexism, and even more hates those unorganized and undisciplined loose guys. She is one of the strictest instructors in the base and a strong contender for the throne of the president of the Naval Academy. I remember that the veterans joked that Captain Roh is a The unmistakable pocket watch is also the last virgin on the planet. If you want to try her power, you can try not to wear clothes when you go out.

So, you can imagine how the brother who forgot to wear his trousers would be treated. As a punishment, Captain Rohs asked him to run fully armed on the training ship for a month. It was not until we came back from the Snow Mountain Camp that he returned to the team.

The first month of training subject of the naval base is physical fitness. It is commonplace to cross-country ten kilometers every morning. Captain Ross led us all the way. At first, some people complained bitterly. A few days later, the lazy people in our empire turned into iron men. The one who had been punished by Captain Ross. The unlucky man actually became the champion of the ten-kilometer cross-country run. His final record was 25 minutes and 30 seconds, breaking the world record of the planet's 10,000-meter run.

Of course, physical training is not only long-distance running, strength training, flexibility training, swimming, fighting, armed crossing, mountain climbing, there are many, many, many. Because of the years, I have forgotten a little.

However, what really benefited me a lot is the second month of military skill training. What I learned is the emergency repair and maintenance of star warships, as well as the rapid troubleshooting of fighters, the maintenance of ordnance. The auxiliary skills are the ability to flexibly manipulate various air combat weapons and equipment, and the fighter is at the front, because I am a transport aircraft ship. The team's mechanic is also a compulsory subject.

Before I entered the army, I didn't have any confidence in myself, because I was a coward, a scum, a soft egg, a coward in the mouth of an instructor. I was not qualified to be a parent, and I shouldn't get married, even the savages on the dwarf star. Instructor Roth's words are not aimed at myself, but to everyone. In order to completely wash away this shame, I study hard. I practice the skills that others can master in an hour. I practice repeatedly, but I not only have to master but also to be proficient. I want to be the best repairman and the fastest repairman. I want to be like a star. The stars shine like that.

My comrades-in-arms once joked me and said, "Zhao Ze, you are already the best repairman in the training base. Why do you still work so hard? You can't win the war alone."

I told them: "The reason is very simple. I want to make my wife live a better life and let her remember me forever!"

For married men, taking care of their wives is more important than anything else. It is difficult for outsiders to understand, and those single soldiers can't believe it, because they still don't know love, real love, what they seek is just physical pleasure.

I remember that at the end of the training, my best comrade-in-arms Wu Fei also poured a basin of cold water on me. He solemnly warned me and said, "Zhao Ze, in case you go home one day and find another man lying down, don't be excited, let alone drive the army's fighter plane to bombard him into the sky. We still need you to repair it. Li Fighter, Captain Ross also needs you to set an example for everyone. She told me that you are the best repairman she has ever met. She will be proud of you. The future of the empire depends on a madman like you!"

I told Wu Fei with a smile, "You haven't seen her. You don't know who she is. She is the kindest woman in the world and the pride of my life. She will never betray me, and I won't betray her. You'd better think about when you will please a good wife and don't worry about me."

This is simple. In fact, I'm also very nervous. I haven't seen her for three months, and I don't know if she has changed. The deteriorating living space of the empire can drive a normal person crazy. What's more, she is a weak woman. Her parents died early and the whole family died in the first Star Wars. What should I do if she really changes? Do you want to let go or forgive her, or this is completely my jealousy. Anyway, three months later, as soon as the exam was over, I immediately jumped on the jeep of the base and left the training camp and went straight to our nest.

Meet again.

At the moment we met again, my thoughts melted like an avalanche.

I hugged her tightly and desperately felt her body temperature, her heartbeat, and her taste.

She also hugged me deeply, listened to my breath, and shared my happiness and happiness. If possible, she would prefer to be inseparable from me. No matter where I went, she would always follow. Even if it was the interstellar battlefield of blood and fire, she would accompany me without hesitation.

I'm very happy that she can think so. I don't want anything to happen to her. I want to protect her well and keep her from any harm. She is all my and the hope of the empire. That's what the leaflets on the street say - let men fight. Women are optimistic about their families and your children. It is the duty of good citizens.

A few days later, the exam results came out, and the military messenger personally sent my appointment letter, military rank, and transfer order.

"Hello, Comrade Sergeant, I will bring this honor to you and your family on the order of my superiors. Please accept it!"

My wife stood next to me. She looked at me happily. I immediately straightened my chest and looked up to a standard military salute. "Thank you, comrade. I accept the appointment of the military department and will report on time!"

"Good job, I will report your words accurately. I wish you and your family goodbye!"

"Goodbye"

After the army's messenger left, my wife and I couldn't wait to open the brown paper envelope, which contained a shining star. Although there was only one, it was also an acknowledgment of my efforts over the past three months.

"Come and I'll put it on for you"

My wife put on the rank of sergeant for me, a shining silver star, and I held my head high to enjoy my wife's award ceremony.

After the ceremony, I gave her the deepest kiss until she fell in **.

The next half month was incredibly fast. I drove her to every corner of the city in a jeep. She sat in the car and screamed excitedly, as if she had been isolated from the world for many years. I knew that this was happiness and warmth. Her cry was the best comfort for me. Finally, when I came to Xinghai, I also put up with it. I can't stop shouting.
