Her love for naval soldiers became the catalyst that led Ms. Sam to a military career. From the day she married Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Giang Nam (February 1999), the image of a naval soldier and the military environment gradually became familiar, prompting her to choose to wear the military uniform. In June 1999, she was officially recruited into the Long-Range Maritime Surveillance Radar Center, Naval Command Headquarters, as a cook. In 2006, she took on the role of kitchen manager and head chef and was transferred to the non-commissioned officer (NCO) status. From the end of 2020, she was transferred to Brigade 972. For Major Vu Thi Hanh Sam, each stage of her career has been a valuable experience, nurturing her love for the profession and her unwavering dedication. This sense of responsibility is clearly demonstrated in her daily work at the unit. In her role as guesthouse manager, she proactively prepared the facilities, ensuring a warm and welcoming reception for visiting delegations and superiors.
In addition, as the military supply warehouse manager, Ms. Sam always meticulously inspected, cleaned, and arranged goods scientifically , ensuring they met the criteria of "easy to find, easy to retrieve, easy to see, and easy to inspect." She paid special attention to warehouse safety, from inspecting the inside and outside of the warehouse to the fire prevention and fighting system. Before each distribution of military equipment, she carefully reviewed the list, prepared all necessary supplies, and ensured no errors occurred.
As the Vice President of the Women's Association of the Brigade, Ms. Sam has always been an active force in the unit's women's movement. The vibrant flowerbeds and lush green trees that create the clean, beautiful, and fresh landscape of Brigade 972 are largely thanks to her and the other women's association members. Furthermore, she proactively advises the Executive Committee of the Women's Association on coordinating and implementing many meaningful activities such as visiting disadvantaged families, caring for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, and participating in cultural and sports activities, thereby spreading the spirit of compassion and the positive image of female soldiers of Brigade 972 to the people in the area.
Thanks to the support of the Army and the unit commander, Ms. Sam and her husband were allocated land near the Brigade, creating favorable conditions for building a stable home. For her, happiness comes not only from her work but also from the companionship and sharing of her husband, who is always her emotional support. Their two children are now grown up; their daughter has a stable job, and their second son is in 11th grade. Between family and unit, Ms. Sam always skillfully balances her duties as a soldier while fulfilling her roles as a wife and mother, building a happy home.
