A few days ago, I walked into a comprehensive training ground of a Red Army Corps in Xinjiang Military Region and happened to meet Sergeant Hu Haowen reporting the training situation of the day to his mentor and corporal Liu Hongtao. Is the apprentice higher in rank than the master? ”At first glance, when I heard about their "master apprentice" relationship, I thought I had misheard it. Sensing the author's confusion, Hu Haowen opened the conversation box. In March of this year, college student soldier Hu Haowen was promoted from a conscripted soldier to a sergeant, successfully achieving a "jump in rank". However, he was not happy for long, and troubles followed one after another - weak professional foundation, insufficient training ability, lack of training experience... "With the rank of sergeant, he could only do volunteer work." Faced with the comments of some comrades, Hu Haowen felt very uncomfortable. Hu Haowen's situation has attracted the attention of the party committee of the regiment. They organized personnel from government agencies to conduct in-depth research on the training and utilization of selected soldiers after promotion. The research results show that not only do college student soldiers commonly have the problem of "high rank and weak ability" in the conversion of soldiers, but other newly promoted young soldiers also have a certain degree of "mismatch between rank and ability". Young soldiers are an important force in grassroots construction, and we must find ways to help them improve their skills as soon as possible in job practice. ”On the basis of extensive research and demonstration, a group of members of the Communist Youth League Party Committee decided to explore and implement the training mode of "division leading apprentice" for sergeants in view of this kind of "inverted rank and ability" phenomenon, and incorporate this mode into the overall plan of team talent construction. They scientifically formulated implementation rules based on laws and regulations such as the "Interim Regulations on Non commissioned Officers" and the "Interim Regulations on the Management of Non commissioned Officers' Career Development", built a work chain of "coordinated guidance by the organs and main responsibility by grassroots units", clarified the division of responsibilities at all levels, and made every effort to create conditions for the growth and development of young non commissioned officers. Not long after, Corporal Liu Hongtao, who had excellent qualities and longer military experience, became the mentor of Sergeant Hu Haowen. Under the guidance and guidance of Liu Hongtao, Hu Haowen trained diligently and made significant progress in his growth. The author learned in the interview that since the implementation of the "master apprentice" soldier training model, there have been multiple examples of "apprentices having higher military ranks than masters" in the regiment. With the implementation of the training mode of "division leading apprentice", the regiment differentiated the growth needs of different sergeants and continued to optimize this mode. In response to the characteristics of "high rank, weak ability, and short service life" among college student soldiers who have undergone military reform, they have established the principle of "determining master and apprentice based on their abilities", selecting outstanding and responsible soldiers as mentors for this group of soldiers, and providing targeted assistance to strengthen and supplement their weaknesses; For the group of soldiers who are promoted according to the normal process, experienced and well-rounded senior soldiers will provide hands-on guidance based on regular training, major tasks, and other opportunities to help them expand and upgrade their abilities; Establish an assessment system of "process assessment+result evaluation", regularly quantify the effectiveness of mentoring, and adjust mentoring plans accordingly. In addition, the team also established the "Master Apprentice Progress Award" to recognize outstanding master apprentice combinations and motivate them to continue working hard. In order to fully utilize the talent yeast effect of senior soldiers, the team is exploring and pushing forward the new model of 'one master leading multiple apprentices' on the basis of' one master leading one apprentice '. ”The cadre of the regiment, Lu Bo, introduced that the team has established a studio based on the professional expertise of senior soldiers, with experienced senior soldiers serving as leaders and leading teachers. The studio adopts the form of "skill imparting+project tackling" to accelerate the growth rate of young soldiers. In the quiet of the night, I saw in the group's "National Day Studio" that the room was still brightly lit. Sergeant Major Wang Guoqing is leading several young soldiers to discuss the rapid disassembly and assembly technology of a certain equipment clutch. Previously, when the team issued new equipment, they faced the challenge of "someone driving, no one repairing". To this end, Wang Guoqing took the initiative to consult with technical personnel from equipment manufacturers, led several apprentices to learn and work at the same time, and finally explored an effective maintenance method. Following squad leader Wang not only taught me skills, but also the spirit of daring to overcome difficulties. I have more confidence in walking the military path well in the future, "said Corporal An Tao. Nowadays, more and more young soldiers in the regiment are growing and transforming through the "mentorship" activity. Recently, in the assessment organized by higher authorities, many young soldiers have emerged and proudly stepped onto the podium. (New Society)
