Writing a will is a process and also a journey of personal growth.
Perhaps, before today, their mindset was that of a young man, belonging to the category of boys who love to play and have fun.
However, once they truly began to write, and complete a will, they would certainly mature significantly.
This was because when you wrote sothing like this, you would consider life and death, your parents, your family, your past, and even your own sense of purpose in life.
n were different from won.
A girl beca a woman just by spending one night with a man.
But for a boy to beco the pillar of a family, spending a night with a woman wouldn’t change anything.
If your mindset didn’t mature, no matter how many nights you spent, you could still only be called a boy.
Only when a young man starts to contemplate these things, will he inevitably think about societal responsibilities and family obligations. He would also ponder whether he could shoulder them, and whether he should.
He might even realize that so responsibilities couldn’t be avoided.
These things, before writing a will, might not have crossed the mind of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, and so may even think about playing every day.
But once these thoughts entered their minds, even if it was just once, it would completely transform their mindset.
Actually, Wang Ye didn’t quite understand these things before either.
Because when he wrote his will last year, he didn’t have the mindset of a true eighteen-year-old.
But yesterday, during the eting, Platoon Leader Jiang Huai talked about these things, so Wang Ye also recognized the necessity of writing this.
“Write it well, write it seriously. Don’t think that writing a will is ant to scare you. Firing live ammunition and throwing live grenades are dangerous, and even when we go out, because we are in a border area, we may encounter criminals and engage in combat at any ti!”
Inside the dormitory, Wang Ye looked at everyone, speaking with utmost seriousness, “We are soldiers. If there’s a situation, we must be the first to respond. If real combat occurs, life and death will be a matter of monts. So, write your wills well, holding onto the possibility that this might be your last chance to speak to your parents and the world!”
Wang Ye deliberately tried to intimidate them.
During the new recruits’ training period, talking about combat situations seed a bit far-fetched.
Even if there were unexpected combat situations, it wouldn’t involve new recruits unless there was a genuine terrorist attack.
But that was highly unlikely.
The terrorists weren’t fools; they wouldn’t attack a new recruits’ company. Besides, if they did, they would be digging up the ancestors of the recruits from eighteen generations back.
Suddenly, Wang Ye noticed soone standing outside.
Imdiately, he looked at everyone and said, “I’ll be right back. Vice Class Leader, maintain discipline in the class!”
“Yes!”
Duan Wei responded.
He was a college student, but Wang Ye didn’t appoint him as the Vice Class Leader based on his education. It was because he was genuinely hardworking.
A college student who enlisted in the military during their sophomore year without delving into other details, one thing is certain: they must have a strong passion for the military. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have abandoned their studies as a sophomore, after undergoing military training in their freshman year, to join the army and endure this hardship.
And indeed, this was the case.
They had consistently perford well in their class and, due to their prior military training experience, they outperford others during the training period in the new recruits’ company.
Stepping out of the dormitory, outside the door, Zhou Qi stood there with a smile.
Wang Ye had seen him just now, which is why he had prepared to co out.
“Let’s go, smoke a cigarette on the rooftop!” Zhou Qi said with a smile.
“Sure!” Wang Ye nodded with a smile.
Side by side, they climbed up to the rooftop. Once they reached it, Wang Ye handed him a cigarette.
*Click!*
Wang Ye reached out to help light his cigarette. Zhou Qi raised his head slightly, gazing at the night sky in the distance, and said, “Ti really flies, doesn’t it? In the blink of an eye, you’re about to lead a new batch of recruits!”
“Heh, yeah,” Wang Ye replied with a touch of nostalgia. At this ti last year, he was still striving for excellence in the new recruits’ company’s assessnt. And this year, the batch of recruits he was leading was on the verge of completing their final training exercises and transitioning to their permanent units. It was a bit sentintal; more than a year had passed, and standing on the rooftop again, so much had changed.
Thinking back to last year, when he ca to this rooftop to smoke, it was still an experience guided by Wu Jianfeng.
But now, he himself was a class leader!
“It’s been five days and four nights already. With the end of the new recruits’ company, it’s almost over. Are you sure about which soldiers we want for our class?”
This year, the training outline for the new recruits’ company had so changes. The field training was extended by one day, making it five days and four nights. The route remained the sa, but the extra ti was allocated to include certain assessnt elents along the way.
Therefore, there wouldn’t be a separate graduation assessnt day for this year’s new recruits’ company. All assessnts, including live grenade throws, would take place during this extended field training. This even included promotions.
In other words, when this field training ended, the new recruits’ company experience would co to a close for most of them.
“In my class, there are Duan Wei, Li Jun, and Han Yi. In your class, there are Liu Yang and Wang Xiaolong. Additionally, from Class Seven…”
Wang Ye listed eleven nas in one go—three from his own class, two from Zhou Qi’s class, and three each from the Seventh and Eighth classes. These were the cream of the crop in the entire platoon.
It’s worth ntioning Han Yi, who, after being transferred to Wang Ye’s class, had genuinely turned over a new leaf and trained diligently. That’s why Wang Ye included his na in the list.
Of course, at this mont, it was impossible for all eleven of them to make it through.
The Staff Officer positions had to be filled first, with one slot allocated for each platoon. That’s why Wang Ye had prepared a list of eleven candidates.
After the Staff Officer selection, there would be ten remaining candidates. The Fourth Platoon would retain four, and the Fifth and Sixth Platoons would each have three.
This arrangent had been established when their company commander and others went to the regintal headquarters to secure training opportunities for this year when they were still in the new recruits’ camp..
