A while ago, the government issued a pre statistical notice for soldiers to apply for military academies, but at first I didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until I was urged by Lianli's documents that I raised my voice late and said, "If you have the intention to take the exam, please register with the class leader and all classes will summarize." At that time, I thought to myself, "This is a big deal, and soldiers who really have the intention will definitely come and ask. One afternoon, the instructor called me over and saw the intention lists submitted by each row spread out on the table, but no one from our row had registered. Zhuang Platoon Leader, isn't there anyone in your platoon who wants to take the exam? "The instructor asked directly, and I explained awkwardly," Maybe everyone thinks there's not much hope and it's useless to apply. Let me ask again... "" Ask again? ”The instructor interrupted me with a serious tone, 'Private Zhang Jian inquired with his squad leader about the conditions for applying to the non commissioned officer school at the end of last year; college student soldier Feng Yifan, whose father called the company a few days ago to consult about relevant policies. Do you have any knowledge of these situations?' I was stunned. Zhang Jian did ask the class monitor, and when he told me, my response was, "Let's see his physical fitness assessment results first." Feng Yifan's father's phone was answered by a clerk, and when he told me, I was leading the entire platoon in a five kilometer armed off-road training. I casually replied, "I know the way, we'll talk tomorrow," but then turned around and forgot. Do you think this is a small matter, so you didn't take it to heart? ”The instructor looked at me solemnly and said, 'But for individual soldiers, this is a matter of a lifetime. If we say' we'll talk tomorrow ', it may make them miss a rare opportunity.' Then, the instructor shared a lesson he learned when he was a platoon leader - 'At that time, there was a soldier in the platoon who trained hard, had a flexible mind, wanted to take the military academy exam, but had an introverted personality.'. At that time, I thought he would take care of himself, so I didn't take the initiative to ask. He only mustered up the courage to speak up when the registration deadline was approaching, but due to time constraints, it was too late to complete the necessary procedures, and ultimately he was unable to achieve his goal. When he was discharged, he said that if I had asked him one more question, his life might have been different. This sentence has left an unforgettable impression on me to this day. ”I felt a burning sensation on my face after hearing this, as something similar almost happened again. Actually, subconsciously, I am more afraid of trouble: afraid that if the soldier asks, it will take a lot of time to explain the policy; I'm afraid they might register, so I need to coordinate my review time repeatedly and pay attention to any fluctuations in my thoughts; I'm afraid they won't pass the exam, so I have to constantly organize heart to heart talks and counseling. So, 'wait and see' and 'we'll talk tomorrow' became my catchphrases, without truly considering the needs of the soldiers. Upon returning to the dormitory, I immediately gathered the entire platoon to apologize for my work negligence and delay, and contacted each soldier individually to understand the situation. Unexpectedly, in addition to Zhang Jian and Feng Yifan, there were also two people who bought review materials for self-study. One of them wanted to apply for the non commissioned officer school, but was worried that "he was too old to have an advantage" and hesitated to speak up. I took notes one by one and reported to Lianli that evening. Subsequently, the class monitor and key members were convened to discuss and reflect, and three rules were established: firstly, in the future, any notice involving the vital interests of soldiers must be conveyed on the same day and feedback must be given within a limited time; Secondly, improve the growth records of soldiers and designate key personnel to pair up and assist those who are willing to take exams or learn technical skills; Thirdly, allocate time and work division reasonably to create learning conditions for soldiers preparing for exams. Now, watching Zhang Jian, Feng Yifan and others holding the review materials found by Lianli, discussing and preparing seriously together, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground. After experiencing this' statistical 'controversy, I have come to understand that a decision, intention, or action made by a frontline commander can have an impact on a soldier. There is no small matter at the grassroots level, and there is no small matter for soldiers. We must seize the opportunity to do everything well and take responsibility for their growth and future.
