Le Ngoc Tan (far left) and new soldiers take care of the vegetable garden

That is the respectful comment of Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Son, Party Secretary, Political Commissar of the Training - Mobile Battalion (HL-CĐ), Border Guard (BĐBP) of Hue city.

At this time, Private Le Ngoc Tan and his comrades were diligently watering the vegetable beds in the vegetable garden and bathing the pigs in the pen. The conversation took place right at the “scene” of the production area. With simple words, Tan shared: Ever since I was a student, I often learned about the military environment, so I have grown to love the image of “Uncle Ho’s soldiers”.

After graduating from high school, Tan passed the entrance exam and graduated from the University of Economics - Hue University. Although he had worked at a bank in Hue city for 2 years, when he received a call from the locality, Tan was excited to fulfill his military service and enlisted.

With that mindset, in the first days of entering the "common house" of the HL-CD Battalion, although he was unfamiliar with the disciplined, orderly lifestyle, the "strict" schedule of eating, resting, exercising , increasing production, training, and studying, this CSM quickly adapted to military life, and became increasingly effective in all aspects. According to this new recruit who has been commended many times, the "secret" lies in the awareness, will, and effort of each person.

“During the training of the formation command, at first, I and most of the CSMs had a hard time standing at attention because we were not used to it; the blood did not circulate well, causing dizziness. After a period of time with a disciplined lifestyle, moderation in eating, sleeping, exercising, and training, our health improved; at the same time, the CSMs received enthusiastic help and guidance from cadres at all levels in the unit, and all difficulties were overcome. For me personally and many other CSMs, now standing at attention in the military line for 1 to 30 minutes is normal; as well as getting used to the inspection alarm, training alarm..., at 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock in the morning, within 2 minutes, we were already wearing our uniforms and belongings, and present at the unit's yard. The drowsiness during the night shift was also "dispelled" by willpower and training...", new recruit Le Ngoc Tan expressed.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Son said: With a strong political stance, solidarity, and mutual support, CSM Le Ngoc Tan and almost 120 CSMs have overcome difficulties, conquered themselves to mature every day, and completed all tasks well. As for Tan himself, in training, he achieved excellent results in many subjects such as: Team regulations, 100-meter run, swimming... Tan is ready to help and guide other CSMs in increasing production, strengthening solidarity and bonding with comrades and teammates, creating a friendly and loving environment, preserving and promoting the beautiful image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers".

“Enthusiastic, responsible, exemplary, taking the lead in all tasks, Private Le Ngoc Tan is a typical example that is widely replicated throughout the unit, spreading motivation for officers and soldiers, especially CSMs, to strive together. Since then, CSMs have made effective contributions to help the HL-CD Battalion successfully complete its training tasks, build the unit, and increase production…”, Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Son shared.

Currently studying for the second diploma exam of the Army Academy, Tan said that if he is to stay and serve long-term in the army or return to his hometown, the months of training here have helped him become more courageous and determined to make more contributions to society.
