I'm going to be a soldier this year and I plan to work in the army for ten years. How can I become a special soldier? If I join the special forces, I intend to stay as long as possible.

Those things in novels and TV plays are unrealistic, so don't blindly follow suit. As that friend said, the elimination rate of special forces is very high, and they are not trained from scratch in the army. They must have certain special skills before joining the army. Let's not talk about this. After two years of service, you will be discharged from the army according to the regulations. If you don't want to retire, there are only two ways, one is to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer, and the other is to take an examination of a military school. I can only say that these two things are very difficult for ordinary soldiers with no background and no relationship. Also, enlistment and service are based on the distribution system. What if it is assigned to a subordinate unit of the General Logistics Department? You just run transportation every day, or look at warehouses, or dig tunnels to build buildings, and so on. What if it is assigned to a subordinate unit of the General Logistics Department? Every day, you just look at the gate of the cadre retreat to send and receive letters or play mahjong with veteran cadres. This is unknown. You can't control it personally. Do you think the leaders of special forces will go to these units to choose people? It is more reliable to take the military school exam. If you have contacts at home, and your grades and physique are excellent, I will show you the way. You can take the special reconnaissance major in the Army Command Academy of major military regions, or you can take the International Relations Institute of the People's Liberation Army, which is a school for the military to train spies. There is absolutely hope. Actually, seriously, my friend, I advise you to study honestly and then find a job. Honestly, don't mind. If you don't entrust others to register themselves, the chances of successful enlistment are not high, especially for applicants with urban hukou. The army is by no means what outsiders think.
