A day mentioned multiple times by officers and soldiers: December 19, 2025. On this day, Xing Yingying, the squad leader of the Communication Company and a third level sergeant, was awarded the title of "Top Ten Sharp Swordsmen" of the Rocket Force. This heavy honor is the first time since the establishment of the unit. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, those who receive this award are all experts in preparing for war, the "sharp edge" of a sharp knife. This day was an ordinary day for Xing Yingying, just like an ordinary day in her military career, training, on duty, tackling and supporting difficult problems... One day in mid January this year, the reporter saw Xing Yingying busy in a computer room in the communication building. She bent over and stared intently at the welding gun in her hand. After completing the task, she earnestly explained the precautions to her team members. After being busy, Xing Yingying told the reporter about her recent experience of receiving recognition. Her tone was calm, as if telling "someone else's story". How do you feel about receiving this honor? Xing Yingying admitted that it was a pleasant surprise: "The unit reported me, but I didn't expect to be selected." The "accident" mentioned by Xing Yingying was "inevitable" in the minds of the leaders of the brigade. Li, the political commissar of the brigade, told reporters that with the continuous deepening of political training, the military atmosphere has become more pure, and various levels of organs have strengthened their awareness of serving the grassroots, actively planning the growth path for officers and soldiers, so that officers and soldiers can learn with direction and work with goals. "With continuous progress in daily life, the 'joy of growth' naturally comes naturally." During the conversation, Xing Yingying shared a detail with reporters: in the past, there was a period of time when some comrades would feel worried about being missed when soldiers were selected for promotion, evaluated for merits and awards, etc. Now, the anxiety is still present, but it is caused by the panic of ability. ”Xing Yingying said that her comrades around her are more concerned about their lack of ability, poor work performance, and betraying the care and trust of the organization. This' worry 'forces officers and soldiers to focus on their mission and constantly hone their professional skills. At the beginning of last year, the unit undertook a trial training task. As a professional backbone, Xing Yingying took the initiative to shoulder heavy responsibilities and led her comrades to work overtime to study the outline and polish the training methods. In professional formation training, officers and soldiers boldly innovated the workflow, optimizing the courses that originally required 6 people to cooperate to be completed by 4 people, significantly reducing the time and improving the training efficiency. Last summer, the unit faced reform and adjustment. Xing Yingying is responsible for leading the communication construction of multiple places such as the brigade combat duty room and the teleconference room, and has gone to grassroots units to assist in completing the debugging of the audio and video communication system, building a complete "brigade battalion company small scattered remote point" four level audio and video communication system. Thanks to her outstanding achievements, Xing Yingying ultimately stood out and was commended. Leaving the communication building and arriving at the training ground, the reporter encountered the third level sergeant Huang Lei. The dark man in front of us also had many happy events last year: he became the squad leader, participated in the promotion training for senior soldiers, and after four consecutive years of delayed service, he was promoted to the rank of third level sergeant major. Later on, I found out that for my sake, the brigade leaders held a special meeting, and the organization also planned a growth roadmap for me. ”Talking about these things, Huang Lei said two things he didn't expect: "I didn't expect the brigade leader to pay so much attention to an ordinary soldier; I didn't expect the party committee to consider our personal development from such a perspective." After the chat ended, he plunged into the training room again. Proactively planning the growth and development path of officers and soldiers is due to a previous experience - two years ago, Xing Yingying faced the challenge of being selected for the position of sergeant. Due to the limited proportion of senior sergeants, she almost failed to stay in the team. During this period, new policies were introduced to increase the proportion of senior military personnel, and she ultimately succeeded in staying in the team with outstanding performance. The human resources officer of the brigade introduced that during the deepening of political training, they reflected on this situation and realized that only by making precise plans for the growth of officers and soldiers and considering possible situations comprehensively can they ensure a smoother path of personal development and progress. To this end, they focus on the long term and actively help officers and soldiers who can and want to work to develop a scientific growth roadmap, build a stage for their growth and development, and accelerate the upgrading of their abilities and qualities. Growth and progress have no worries, and one's mind and energy naturally focus on preparing for war. ”Political commissar Li told reporters that deepening political training has brought waves of new winds, making officers and soldiers more and more motivated to fight for the sake of war, and the construction of combat effectiveness has risen. On the evening of the end of the interview, the reporter came to the communication building again, where the lights were brightly lit. In the professional training room, Xing Yingying is working with her comrades to research and develop several fault handling methods under special conditions. With this determination, Xing Yingying recently welcomed double happiness: organizing officers and soldiers to carry out "Four Meetings Coach" qualification training, and everyone achieved excellent results; Completed 7 practical training support tasks with high standards and received praise from all levels. The training schedule posted on the wall has a very tight schedule. Xing Yingying and her comrades have expressed that they are getting closer and closer to achieving the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army, and cannot have a mentality of resting and taking a breath!
