I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

afternoon.

Training Course.

The six members of the special operations squad, who had just finished tactical training, lay sprawled out under the shade of a tree.

Wu Hanfeng, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, leaned against a tree trunk, unbuttoning two buttons at the collar of his training uniform and pulling his hat down half an inch to cover his eyes as he dozed off.

Qian Kun, who was sitting next to him, was sprawled out, rubbing his aching thighs with both hands.

He Dong slowly approached Wu Hanfeng: "Squad leader, tell me again about what happened at the Armed Police Detachment yesterday. How did you spot the snail rice noodles in the crack of the bed board at a glance? And that beer buried in the ground, how did you know there was something underneath?"

Yesterday, after returning from the Armed Police detachment, I seized every opportunity to ask about the details of yesterday, wishing I could write down every word Wu Hanfeng said in a small notebook and memorize it as a secret manual for handling cases.

Wu Hanfeng lifted the brim of his hat: "Want to learn?"

"I want to learn! I want to learn!" He Dong nodded frantically.

"Simple." Wu Hanfeng slowly spat out the grass stalk in his mouth. "Observe more, smell more. The smell of sour bamboo shoots is so strong that you can smell it from half a corridor away. Only they think they've hidden it well."

"The grass color around where the beer was buried was different from the surrounding area. The freshly turned soil was loose and soft; only a fool wouldn't notice."

"Wow!" He Dong exclaimed with admiration, "So that's how it is! You're amazing, Vice Class Monitor!"

Just then, Chen Zhiyuan walked over.

Just as the group was about to stand up, Chen Zhiyuan immediately waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need, no need, just sit and rest."

"I just came here to chat with you guys."

When Wu Hanfeng saw the sly smile on Chen Zhiyuan's face, he knew that nothing good was coming.

"Hey Old Chen, you don't come here unless you need something. What's up, you need our help?"

Chen Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him, "Go to hell!"

"I've come here to entrust you with an important task."

Major mission?

The group exchanged glances, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Everyone instantly became excited.

A major mission? Is it a border drug bust? Or a counter-terrorism exercise?

Chen Zhiyuan said, "Next month, the division headquarters will organize a three-month training program for reserve backbone personnel. The regiment has decided that all five members of your special operations squad will participate."

???

The entire room fell silent.

Training for reserve key personnel?

That's it?

Qian Kun's excitement hadn't faded before it froze on his face. "Huh? Training camp? Not a mission?"

"What other missions do you want to go on?" Chen Zhiyuan glared at him. "Isn't the core training camp more important than going on missions? This is an opportunity the regiment fought for you guys to get; so many people are scrambling to go, and you're still not happy about it?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling..." Qian Kun's face fell, and he muttered under his breath, "I thought it was some kind of secret mission, but it turns out it's just going to class and making beds..."

The veterans all knew what the training camp was like.

For three months, we got up early to make our beds, trained like crazy during the day, and studied theory at night. We memorized the regulations and rules until we were sick of them. The housekeeping inspections were insanely strict, even more grueling than basic training.

I thought I could go out and cause trouble and broaden my horizons with Brother Feng, but instead I ended up going to the training camp to "go to jail"?

Qian Kun immediately wilted.

Zhao Yihang reacted in a completely different way.

His eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words "training for reserve backbone personnel".

But then, he asked curiously, "Company commander, we're only first-year privates, can we go too?"

"Didn't they say that we could only go in the latter half of the following year, or after we'd already become non-commissioned officers?"

Chen Zhiyuan said, "There is such a rule, but there are exceptions. As long as you have strong military skills, high awareness, and intend to stay in the army for a long time, the regiment can help you apply to go for training in advance."

"Wu Hanfeng has been promoted to sergeant, and according to regulations, he should go there."

"And you, I've come here to ask you, a year from now, if you plan to stay with the team."

"This is also the regimental headquarters' intention."

"The four of you have good military skills, and the company and regiment value you highly."

"If you can maintain this position, you can become a non-commissioned officer at any time after your two-year term of compulsory service ends, if you wish."

"Of course, it also depends on your own wishes."

"I'm here to ask about your wishes. If you want to stay in the team, then write a guarantee."

"That way, you can go with your Brother Feng to participate in the training for key personnel of the division."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yihang suddenly realized what was happening.

The training program for reserve backbone personnel is a class specially set up by the division to cultivate grassroots backbone personnel. Those who pass the graduation assessment will have priority in staying in the team, promotion, and officer promotion.

Being able to participate as a private was both an opportunity and a recognition for him.

Without hesitation, Zhao Yihang stood at attention and shouted, "Reporting, Company Commander! I'm willing to stay in the unit!"

"From the very first day I enlisted, I told my old man, 'I won't leave the army until I've made a name for myself!'"

Chen Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Wu Hanfeng, on the other hand, was not surprised by Zhao Yihang's decision.

This guy's father is a division commander; three generations of his family have been soldiers.

If he serves in the army for two years and then retires, he might get his legs broken by his division commander or his grandfather when he goes back home!

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Ma Teng, Sun Dawei, and Qian Kun.

"What about you three? What are your thoughts?"

"It's alright, please speak freely. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll answer them for you."

Ma Teng glanced at Wu Hanfeng, then looked at Chen Zhiyuan and said, "Reporting to the company commander, I'll listen to Brother Feng. If Brother Feng tells me to stay in the team, I'll stay."

Wu Hanfeng grabbed the hat and threw it at him, saying, "You brat, are you still a baby? Whether you want to stay on the team or not, I have to decide for you."

"You joined the army for your father?"

"No, no!" Ma Teng quickly caught the hat, scratching his head and chuckling, "It's just that I feel more at ease following Brother Feng."

"Besides, there's not much to do when I get home after my military service. My dad's auto repair shop is only so big, and my brother is keeping an eye on it. At most, I'll be an apprentice tightening screws."

"Moreover, my girlfriend said she's willing to wait for me. She really likes that I'm in the military."

After saying that, he sat up straight: "Reporting to the company commander, I want to stay in the army. It's great to be in the army, the training is exciting, and I get along well with the brothers. If I really had to go back to working nine-to-five and tightening screws, I really couldn't sit still."

"Being able to learn skills from Brother Feng for two more years is better than anything else."

Chen Zhiyuan nodded and then turned his gaze to Sun Dawei beside him.

This kid was the most honest one in the class. He didn't talk much, but he was the most dedicated in training. Hearing the company commander looking over, he quickly straightened his back and said, "Reporting, Company Commander! I'd also like to stay in the unit!"

"My parents originally wanted me to develop a long-term career in the military, saying that the training in the military is better for boys than anything else. I also think the military is pretty good. Although it's tiring, there's something to look forward to every day."

He scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, and added, "Besides, I'm reluctant to leave as long as I can stay with everyone."

"Okay, well done." Chen Zhiyuan smiled broadly and patted each of them on the shoulder.

Two of the four have already expressed their opinions; of the remaining three...

Zhao Yihang had already made it clear that Wu Hanfeng, being a non-commissioned officer, was required to undergo rotational training, and everyone's attention immediately turned to Qian Kun.
