Letter of guarantee from the newly trained squad leader of the Armed Police Force to the recruits.

When you are about to become the monitor of new recruits, I want to ask you a very simple question: What is the purpose of new recruits' training? Some comrades may answer that it is to improve the queue and tactical action level of recruits, cultivate tenacious fighting spirit, strengthen style and discipline, and cultivate manners and manners. There is nothing wrong with these answers, but I can sum them up in one sentence, that is, to help recruits complete the transformation from social youth to ordinary soldiers as soon as possible. So, how to realize this transformation? From the monitor's point of view, I think it should be mainly reflected in the words "strictness", "teaching" and "love". So in today's lecture, I will talk about some views around these three aspects.

The first question is "strictness". This "strictness" is reflected in training and management, which is one of the basic characteristics of the army.

(1) Strict training. First of all, let's talk about why we should train strictly. Take queue training, the first content of recruit training, for example. This content says that it is easy to learn, but it is really difficult to learn if it is not easy to learn. Some people give a lecture on the essentials of action and give a demonstration, while others can't do it well even if you teach it step by step for a long time. If the new soldiers are discouraged at this time, relax, lower their standards and don't correct their behavior in time, once they are addicted, it will be more difficult to change in the future. If the requirements are not strict, some comrades will make a fool of themselves as long as they walk in line during the whole period of being a soldier. Imagine that a person who can't even do the most basic queue movements well can still become a famous star! Recruits should also play light weapons, just like queue training. If the requirements are not strict and the training is not serious, everyone will get nothing when they shoot. How can they look up in the future? Therefore, for the growth and progress of new soldiers, we must strictly train them so that they can take the experience in the early days of the war as their best memory. Secondly, talk about how to train strictly. We are strict, first of all, we must strictly follow the rules and regulations. For example, if the foot is required to be 20 cm above the ground, it cannot be 19 cm. It takes hard training day after day to do this measure well, and some people may complain. At this time, you can't be soft-hearted or hard-fought.

(2) Strict management. Nowadays, the new soldiers are experienced, so it can be said that everyone has a horse. If we don't strictly manage them, we can boldly imagine that when we return to the company, this person will say "love me again, love me again", and that person will twist his ass twice and dance pole dancing through the heating pipe. Even one day, someone suddenly patted one of you on the shoulder: "Hey, buddy, give me a cigarette." Looking back, it was a recruit in your class. How should you react at this time? The new soldiers didn't get along well at first, but later it was difficult to get together. For example, your company is well established. Suddenly, one day, a soldier came outside, did not assemble, did not exercise, did not work, stood guard late, went out after dinner, went out to drink, and drank Hu Kan. One penalty was one, and two penalties were two. That's great. It really made the company commander and instructor dizzy. Why is this happening? The reason is that the original management is not strict and many bad habits have been formed. It will not be easy to manage in the future. How should it be managed? It is to implement refined management according to rules and regulations. Refined management is an advanced management mode of western enterprises in 1980s, which emphasizes the most accurate concept of time and the lowest cost. Putting this management mode in the army is to strictly implement the one-day life system, stipulating that you get up in three minutes, and every minute counts; How long have you been on vacation, and when you must return to the team, you should also criticize for one more minute; When you see someone higher than yourself, you should salute and not be rude. Details like these must be strictly implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations, and implemented in every word and deed and every move of the new soldiers. Sun Tzu, a famous strategist in ancient China, once said, "A general is wise, trustworthy, brave and strict." It means that soldiers should be witty, upright, kind, brave and strict. The monitor belongs to the head of the army and is the most basic leader, and should embody a strict word.

The second question is about "teaching". The monitor is the mother of the army. The recruits entered the camp and knew nothing about the troops. Except for some platoon leaders, most of their understanding of the troops comes from the squad leader of the recruits. As I said before, the purpose of recruit training is to help recruits complete the transformation from a local youth to an ordinary soldier. Personally, I think that the "ordinary soldier" mentioned here is not enough to express the characteristics of soldiers, so it is further extended to "soldier". What is a soldier? Literally, he is a soldier in battle. Fighting is fighting the enemy, fighting the hard environment, and fighting the lazy and cowardly self. A soldier should be a soldier who dares to fight against all enemies, all difficulties and even his own timidity. What's the difference between soldiers and ordinary young people? I think it mainly lies in obedience consciousness, good spirit of hardship and strong sense of collective honor. Therefore, in order to realize the transformation, we must do a good job in teaching from these three aspects.

(A) to cultivate a sense of obedience. Among the recruits, there are people with various purposes. Of course, there are also some people who are in the dark at home all day and are fearless. They are the masters who worry about their parents, and no one dares to talk nonsense. In the army, no matter whether the dragon is in the plate or the tiger is lying down, we should educate and guide them. When you put on a military uniform, you must obey, do what you command, and stop when you are forbidden. Everyone has seen the movie Out of Amazon, which contains three sentences: first, obey, second, resolutely obey, third, absolutely obey. This is a requirement for a soldier. We just want to use this to educate new recruits and let them enter the camp gate. First of all, learn to obey.

(2) Forging the spirit of suffering. Tell the new soldiers that in this uniform, we should be prepared for hardship. There is no love in the military camp. There is no time and place to eat and sleep whenever you want. There are only queues, tactics, shooting and back rules and regulations, only labor and housekeeping. Only heroes come in and out here, no cowards. As we all know, the training of recruits is indeed much more bitter than that of the company. In fact, the stage of laying the foundation, making achievements and improving quality is mainly in the recruits. For example, it takes 25 minutes for a recruit to walk 5 kilometers when he first arrives, and it may reach 18 minutes at the end of his new company, but staying in the company for a few months may not improve 1 minute. Therefore, this is the most easy stage for recruits to make achievements, and it is also the best time to complete the transformation. Everyone must seize this opportunity to train more comprehensive and excellent soldiers, which is good for the troops and the recruits themselves. Here, I will say a few more words about the benefits of suffering. The ancients said, "If the sky is going to be a great task for the Sri Lankan people, they must first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies, so they can endure and get what they can't." This means that if you want to train a person to take on a heavy responsibility in the future, you must first temper his will from the beginning, so that he can stand the test of hunger and hard work, so that he can't disrupt his plans at will, thus enhancing his endurance and enhancing his talents. There is also a saying called "once the sea was difficult for water, amber forever", which was originally used in personal feelings and in today's classroom. In other words, new soldiers have suffered and been tired in the recruit company, and they will never feel tired after seeing the water in the sea and the clouds in Wushan. What else can be called "water" and "cloud"

(3) Establish a sense of collective honor. After the recruits enter the camp, they must first understand that once assigned to the class, the individual is no longer an individual, but belongs to the whole class. Any action should take into account the collective interests and honor, and can no longer act only for their own interests like local youth. It can be said that a strong sense of collective honor determines a strong sense of responsibility, and a strong sense of responsibility determines whether a collective is well built or not, and also determines whether a person's ability and quality can be rapidly improved. At any time, the collective strength of unity is greater than the sum of individual strength. Engels quoted Napoleon in his article "Cavalry" and wrote: Two Mamluk soldiers can definitely beat three French soldiers, one hundred French soldiers and one hundred Mamluk soldiers are evenly matched, three hundred French soldiers can beat three hundred Mamluk soldiers, and one thousand French soldiers can always beat one thousand five hundred Mamluk soldiers. The reason is that French cavalry has a formal form of combat organization, while Mamluk soldiers do not. French soldiers can improve their overall combat capability through close cooperation and defeat their opponents with better quality. The same is true of a collective. Only by strengthening the sense of collective honor and uniting everyone closely can we build this collective better and better.

Some comrades think that tangible things are easy to teach, such as queuing and shooting, and can be solved in the training ground, while spiritual things, such as obedience, hardship and collective honor, are difficult to teach. Here, I can tell you that there are many ways, and you will naturally know when the time comes. The key is whether you are willing to teach or not. Generally speaking, centralized education and large class education are mostly organized by company commanders, instructors, battalion commanders and recruits' instructors, but after all, there are few opportunities to attend large classes and the most time is left for everyone. You can take advantage of speaking before the team, commenting in the evening, class meetings, individual conversations, etc., you can also deal with problems at any time, educate at any time, and even use a few minutes before meals, training and lights out. In short, as long as you know what to teach new soldiers, time will always be squeezed out.

The third question is about "love". Some comrades may say, if the soldiers are too strict, what if they escape? What I want to tell you is that with the magic weapon of "love", soldiers will not run away. If any new recruits run away in the future, it will never be because you train too hard and too strictly, but because you don't love enough.

(1) Why do you love soldiers? Ancient and modern military strategists have talked a lot about this issue, which can be said to be endless. Cai E, as we all know, when Yuan Shikai stole the achievements of the Revolution of 1911, he first led a movement to defend the country and crusade against Yuan Shikai. He once said, "Love a soldier as a father and a brother as a son". In other words, treating one's soldiers is like a father loving his son and an elder brother taking care of his younger brother. I think, if we, as the squad leader, can treat our recruits with this mentality, I think they can't catch up and run away, and the life left to them will be the most unforgettable. In those days, Qi Jiguang formed the Qigujun to fight pirates and enemies, which became an instant hit. Why QiGuJun so strong, that's because Qi Jiguang will lead troops. As an excellent military commander, his experience should be correct. He said: "The Lord will always observe his soldiers' feelings of hunger, satiety, fatigue and leisure, so that they can live in harmony with their parents and they can live in harmony with each other. Although there are millions of soldiers, the command is like one person. " This means that parents should care about the soldiers' food, clothing, housing, transportation, hardship and fatigue as much as parents do. If this can be done, even commanding an army of thousands of people is as simple as commanding one person. Zhuge Liang once said: "The good people of ancient times raised people as their own children, and when they are in trouble, they must be the first ... they will be able to do this." It is also about the importance of loving soldiers. Marshal Zhu De also said: How can we unite as one with soldiers, regardless of their sufferings? Qi Jiguang loves soldiers like children to wash away shame; Lin Zexu pleaded for the people, so he could throw his weight around Humen. Yue Fei lies in the snow with the soldiers, and Xiao He chases Han Xin under the moon. You can't be a general if you don't love soldiers, and you can't be handsome if you don't love soldiers. After listening to these military strategists, I think it is not difficult to understand the importance of loving the army.

(2) How to love soldiers. Love for soldiers is reflected in many aspects, and I think there are two most important ones. First of all, we must respect the soldiers. In the last century, there was a British psychologist named Maslow, who divided human needs into five levels, namely, physiology, safety, belonging and the need for love, respect and self-realization. Generally speaking, the first three needs can be met, self-realization generally requires personal efforts, and the fourth level of demand-respect, mainly comes from the outside world. Especially in modern society, being respected by others has become a very important demand for a person. Let's think about it somewhere else. What do you think if you are often criticized by the monitor in the queue and laughed at in your daily life? Do you have the thoughts and impulses to make mistakes or even commit crimes? If so, don't treat the recruits like this. Moreover, the current recruits have two remarkable characteristics. First, there are many only children, and they are rarely criticized and frustrated at home, and they have strong self-esteem; Second, he has a strong sense of democracy and legal system and knows what is right and wrong. You insult him or hit him, he will not be willing, and sometimes it will even lead to more serious consequences. Therefore, we should respect every recruit, be good at discovering the bright spots in everyone and learn to look at them with appreciation. Second, we should care about soldiers. When new recruits arrive, they are mostly away from their families for the first time, and their personal living ability is relatively poor. Some people can't wash clothes, never leave their parents, are not used to the environment, and can't eat bitterness. This is normal. As the monitor of the new recruits, you must realize this, and you must not be perfect. We should start by teaching them to fold quilts, wash clothes and see a doctor, and always understand their sufferings and psychological conditions with the care of their brothers. These things are simple to say, but troublesome to do. Otherwise, how can we say that being a monitor is more worry-free and can exercise people best?
