The benefits of Internet cafes in military camps

In many Internet cafes in military barracks of the northwest region, eye-catching slogans of "learning to become a talent, healthy entertainment, and communication" are posted on the walls. These are the three major Internet functions advocated by the army.

Xiao Zhao, the network administrator of a communication regiment, said that from the perspective of online habits, there are obvious differences between recruits and veterans, cadres and soldiers. According to statistical analysis of Internet records for more than a year, more than 80% of recruits use the Internet mainly to chat, play games and watch movies, while veterans and cadres mainly use the Internet to read news and look up information.

“This difference in Internet habits is understandable.” said Luo Youan, political commissar of a certain communication regiment. “Soldiers go through intense training and are on duty. They play games online, watch movies, and chat with relatives and friends. , It’s a good way to relax. After you have a good rest, you will have more energy to devote to new work.”

Company instructor Sun Weiguo believes that young soldiers have strong plasticity and the education of the army is important. Guidance has a significant impact on changing their online habits, and the number of people who care about national affairs has increased significantly. For example, soldiers have recently paid great attention to the prevention and control of the H1N1 epidemic and Obama's visit to China.

“The proper use of the Internet has actually greatly enriched the resources for ideological and political education.” Sun Weiguo said that the ability and initiative of officers and soldiers to understand superior decisions and current affairs policies are much better than in previous years. “There are At that time, our centralized education on some major issues had not yet had time to start, and the soldiers had already learned everything from the Internet."

Like Hu Yingkun from the city, 19-year-old Private Zhu Jianbin got rid of his addiction to online games after serving in the army for two years. His current online habits are "watching news and checking information." ", watch movies," and only play online games once in a while. At the same time, the time spent surfing the Internet has been greatly reduced compared with before joining the army. Company cadres said that this soldier, who was born into a wealthy businessman family, has now grown into an excellent telegraph operator.
