The national service also seems to have a mysterious power, which led to the feelings of generations; without such feelings, Liang Zhiqiang could not come again and again, and then shooting the authenticity of the recruit.
The new generation of Singapore is generally small family, and boys are the only children of many families.The son went to serve as a soldier. Parents were worried about the safety of their children.The troops are more concerned about the safety of each soldier than their parents, because they are responsible.The safety of soldiers is the cornerstone of the successful service of Singapore's national service.
On the afternoon of last weekend (May 25), I attended a symposium with the theme of national service as the theme of the new immigration organization in the Singapore Singapore. Military training could not avoid the topic of becoming a meeting.
Wu Wei, president of the New China Economic and Trade Science and Technology Culture and Education Exchange Association, shared his experience of growing up in the United States and growing up in the Singaporean army with attendees.He said: "The army is more worried about the safety of service personnel than parents, and parents don't need to worry." When talking about his son's honor, Wu Wei's pride was overwhelming.
He showed the armed forces to call for regular soldiers: a muddy face face, and a sentence: The Mud On My Face is soil, Our soil.To.
This sentence is simple and powerful.This triggered me to search for the past recruitment posters of the Singaporean armed forces on the Internet. It was found that the previous poster design was very careful, the text was simple, profound, and very shocking, such as: We NEVER MISTAEFULNESSSSSSSSSSPeace), Compromise Is Not An Option (compromise is not an option), Bring Out the Greatness in You (discover your strengths).
Seeing Weizhi, the wealthy design and text of the recruitment poster always highlights Singapore's meticulous attitude towards national defense.
This seminar held in the Nan'an Convention Hall, many of the 300 attendees were new immigrants and children.Lord Liang Zhiqiang, the local director of the speaker, shared his resilience to the army for his life in a fun and vivid language to be a "earning soldiers" (Fujian dialect, that is, professional soldiers).
He graduated in the middle of 1976 and could not rise to high school. After working in the printing hall for a few months, he felt that the future was vast. He accidentally saw the advertisement of the armed forces recruiting officers in the report.Not long after receiving the rejection of re -letter, but in two months, I received a letter from the Ministry of Defense and promised to give him a chance.He laughed in a self -deprecating tone: "At that time, the army really needed people, but could not find anyone."
With a Chinese school student who is not in English, he was trained by officers. Liang Zhiqiang paid more effort than other gowns from the School of Technology, and eating more bitterness. He often slept two hours less than others.Check the dictionary under the corridor light and make an annotation on the training book.
He was able to play the director of painting when designing training textbooks, and was able to perform his talents when he was transferred to the Cultural Troupe.Director Liang lived a fulfilling and meaningful career for signed a six -year -old military career.
In April of each year, Thailand held a serious but interesting perennial recruitment lottery activity.Men at the age of 21 are involved in the lottery, whether they are monks or transsexuals, they cannot be spared.If you get the red visa, you have to take service. If you do n’t want to, you can only blame the ancestors and do n’t bless, so the red sign is “down to the lower sign”;The sign is "upper signing".Generally, the youth of Thai men deemed service as follows of hell. Therefore, the lottery activities held in the gymnasium are interesting shots, and they are ecstatic and shouting;Such as dead ash, or crying like a funeral.
In contrast, Singapore's seriousness of the national service is unique in the world. It is rare to implement the two -year military service.The compulsory military service of the Nordic country is only a few months. Even if it has been in the Taiwan Strait crisis for many years, Taiwan's military service has been shortened to four months ago, and it was extended to one year earlier this year to respond to the tension of the situation.
The national service system was implemented in 1967. Today's Singapore should have three generations of families with baptism of military service.In the early days, people's mentality of service was not very active, mainly because they were afraid of suffering, and the society also had a negative view of the soldiers in the society.However, those who came in the early days, after many years of work, two or half years after the workplace, the two -year or two -and -a -half years of service became the most interesting life stage in life.As Liang Zhiqiang said, he and his old comrades who participated in the training of officers at that time said that if they had the opportunity, they would still choose to come again and go through the years of those who are willing to work together and hone the friendship.I believe that many former Abing Brother resonates about this. This is not just a nostalgia, but a rare process of giving people a rare growth process in Singapore's national service.Leadership and decision -making are not what you can get in the classroom "(Strategy, Leadership, Decisiveness. Some Things you just can't in a classroom).
The national service also seems to have a mysterious power, which led the relationship between generations.Without such feelings, it is impossible for Liang Zhiqiang to shoot the authenticity of the recruits again and again.
The national service, the "heavy weapon of the country", further precision and complexity, the story of Singapore's recruits can't be finished.
