For the students, the years spent studying at their beloved schools are not only a time for education and training in all aspects to become officers and cadres in the Army, but also a place to cherish beautiful memories of their military life, serving as motivation and determination for them to embark on a new journey. The People's Army Newspaper has recorded some opinions from final-year students of various schools.

Sergeant HOANG ANH TAI (Battalion 12, Political Officer Training School):

Continuously strive for self-improvement and growth.

Nearly five years of studying and training at the Political Officer Training School has helped me to progress and mature. These changes are reflected in my thinking, awareness, sense of responsibility, work methods and style, and in my specific actions.

Throughout my journey of striving and diligent training, I have become a disciplined Party member and soldier, prioritizing collective interests over personal ones, and demonstrating thoughtful consideration and responsibility in every assigned task. Together with my comrades, I have accumulated the necessary knowledge and skills to be ready to assume the position of a platoon-level political officer. In particular, those five years have helped me deeply understand that, as a political officer, knowledge and skills are not enough; the most important thing is to possess pure revolutionary ethics, a strong sense of responsibility, and exemplary conduct in all words and actions.

Throughout our years of study at the Political Officer Training School, we have accumulated many unforgettable memories. In just a short time, we will have to say goodbye to our beloved school to take on new assignments. Wherever we are, whatever our position, or whatever the circumstances, we will always be grateful, appreciative, and proud of the school; and we will strive to fulfill our assigned duties well.

Sergeant LƯU ANH TUẤN (Company 29, Battalion 10, Army Officer Training School 1):

Grateful to those who have "inspired" us.

Looking back on my journey, I am grateful to the military environment for shaping and guiding me from a naive young man into a mature, capable, and resolute officer cadet. Not only did I gain solid professional knowledge and political theory, but the rigorous training environment also helped me mature significantly in tactical thinking, command style, and especially in my responsibility as a future officer to my unit.

Throughout my studies and training at the Army Officer School 1, I will always be grateful for and remember the heartfelt lectures of my teachers, as well as the strict but dedicated guidance of my unit commanders, who instilled in us a passion, guided and helped us even during the most difficult times, without hesitation or fear of hardship, rain or shine. The sharing and understanding over the years have bound us together as a unified group, like brothers and sisters in a family.

On the threshold of this new journey, I hope that I and my comrades will always uphold the courage and qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers, and no matter which unit we are assigned to, no matter how difficult or arduous the challenges, we will always excellently fulfill all assigned tasks.

Sergeant LE CONG LAM (Class S329C, Company 11, Battalion 3, Logistics Academy):

Deeply understanding the meaning of the four words "serving the people"

My years studying at the Logistics Academy were the most beautiful and memorable time of my youth. The civilian outreach missions, field trips, and practical training in the Spratly Islands are unforgettable memories. Setting foot on the sacred sea and islands of our homeland, witnessing firsthand the lives and unwavering spirit of the officers, soldiers, and people in this remote and challenging place, I deeply understood the value of peace, independence, and the responsibility of today's young generation... These experiences helped me mature significantly, become more responsible, learn to love and share, and deeply understand the meaning of the four words "serving the people."

Furthermore, what I cherish most is the camaraderie and fellowship I received. The friends I shared meals, lived with, studied, and trained with throughout my youth have become an indelible part of my memories. This environment of unity and camaraderie helped me deeply understand the sacred value of comradeship in the military. And perhaps, if given the choice again, I would still proudly choose the Logistics Academy – the place that gave me the most beautiful years of my youth, the dearest comrades, and helped me grow into the person I am today.

After graduation, I will continue to learn and improve in all aspects, striving to complete all assigned tasks well. Regardless of my position, I will always remember my years at the disciplined and humane Logistics Academy, upholding the qualities of a soldier of Uncle Ho, living responsibly, dedicatedly, and worthy of the trust and love of my family, teachers, comrades, and unit.

Sergeant NGUYEN LAM VU (Platoon 4, Company 1, Battalion 14, Signal Officer School):

Increase the amount of practical training time to improve students' skills.

After four years of training at the Signal Officer School, I have acquired much valuable knowledge, developed leadership skills, political acumen, professional expertise, management capabilities, and work methods. This is a crucial period that has helped me mature in all aspects, creating a solid foundation for fulfilling my duties after graduation.

The course equipped me with much important knowledge related to command, staff, and communication. I gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of information technology, military communication network organization, equipment operation, operational staff work, as well as unit organization and management skills. The learning content combined theory and practice, helping students gradually develop command thinking and the ability to apply knowledge to real-world situations...

However, alongside the achievements, we also encountered some difficulties in the training program, such as the school still lacking some communication equipment that has already been put into use at the unit; some equipment has been allocated but, due to the large volume of the program, trainees have not had many opportunities to use and utilize it. This sometimes means that trainees do not have many opportunities to practice practical skills closely related to the requirements of their duties at the unit after graduation.

Based on the above, I hope that in the future, the school will strengthen the content of utilizing equipment in specialized subjects. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the time spent on practical exercises, drills, field training, and real-world exposure at units to help students improve their organizational, command, and situational handling skills. In addition, continued investment in facilities, modernization of training equipment, supplementation of specialized materials, and improvement of living and learning conditions for students are needed.

Sergeant TRAN LONG DUC (Battalion 5, Army Officer Training School 2):

  Ready to accept and successfully complete any task.

I remember four years ago, we entered the school with all the apprehension of being eighteen or twenty years old. Over the past four years, we have been molded into more mature individuals with the demeanor, character, and responsibility of revolutionary soldiers.

With that maturity, I developed a fervent desire to continue contributing to the school that nurtured my youth. I aspire to follow in the footsteps of previous generations, becoming a young administrator and lecturer, continuing to accompany students on their journey of training and growth. Perhaps because I was so diligently guided by my teachers, I understand even more the value of the "nurturing of talent" profession in the Army. It's not just about training and management, but also about sowing "red seeds" for the Army and the country.

Although the road ahead is still long, as a soldier, I am always prepared to accept and complete any task entrusted to me by the Party, the Army, and the people.
