When the ship arrived at the anchorage area near Song Tu Tay Island, the delegation was allowed to visit the island. The officers and trainees were deeply moved to meet the officers, soldiers, and people on the island.

Everyone took advantage of the brief, hurried moments to chat with the officers and soldiers on the island under the cool shade of the trees. The conversations became cheerful, with many questions eliciting laughter. Some young soldiers suddenly became shy and bashful when asked: "Do you miss home a lot? Do you have a girlfriend? What are your plans for the future after you leave the army?" This made the conversation open, natural, simple, and endearing.

Major Tran Thi Lan, a military doctor from the Naval Academy, shared: "Although the interaction and conversation with the officers and soldiers was very short, we felt the hardships they face on the island. When we talked to them and shared our thoughts, the soldiers were a little shy at first, but then they became more confident, expressing their wishes and future aspirations, and sharing stories about life on the island, their family circumstances, etc."
