A "pillar of support" for new recruits.

Heartwarming acts of kindness in the "Supporting the Training Ground" program.

On the training ground of the Training Battalion, the sun grew increasingly intense, the backs of the soldiers' uniforms soaked with sweat, but the recruits remained highly focused, performing each training movement. A burst of joyful cheers erupted when the break signal sounded, and simultaneously, members of the Women's Association of the City Border Guard Command arrived to "Support the Training Ground." Major Ho Minh Phu, Secretary of the Youth Union and Deputy Political Officer of the Training Battalion, explained that this was a model implemented by the Youth Union in coordination with the Women's Association of the City Border Guard Command to boost the morale of the new recruits. During their break on the training ground, they received snacks, milk, kind words of encouragement, and especially musical performances featuring heroic songs praising the Fatherland and the spirit of the soldiers, further strengthening the recruits' resolve and power.

All hardships and difficulties seemed to vanish, and everyone's faces, eyes, and smiles were radiant. Tran Cong Vu, Phan Dang Trung, and other young soldiers shared: "Being far from family and entering military life, with its iron discipline and orderly routines from daily schedules to training regimes, was a daunting and challenging experience for new recruits, causing each of us to feel anxious. But our worries were quickly dispelled by the companionship, care, and support of the unit's commanders."

Love and camaraderie are also abundant in the "Comrade's Birthday Celebration" model, leaving a deep impression on the hearts of young soldiers. From the very first days of entering military life, the soldiers participate in the comrade's birthday celebration program organized by the Youth Union. They light candles together, make wishes, and cut the birthday cake; they immerse themselves in the lively, exciting, and warm atmosphere as they perform heroic songs praising the Fatherland and the soldiers. Homesickness is eased, and the feelings between the soldiers and with the officers and soldiers in the unit become closer, more intimate, and warmer.
