What do you think of gatherings of comrades?

Our comrades-in-arms reunion after 38 years of separation.

I joined the army when I was eighteen years old. We ate from the same pot, trained together, and studied together. We had a strong comradeship and were as close as brothers.

When I met the recruit squad leader, I had mixed feelings and burst into tears. I will never forget his care and severity for me, which helped me to retire step by step in my future military career.

I will never forget the preference that the company commander, instructor, and platoon leader had for me, a rural youth. I was given the green light to join the party, enroll in school, and be promoted, without any involvement. At that time, the atmosphere of the army was real.

As long as you work hard, the honor you deserve will definitely be yours. I miss the environment in which I grew up in the army at that time, and the true love between my comrades at that time.

Hello, I am Maya, a former military cadre. I am happy to share my views on this topic.

I don’t know how long ago, comrade-in-arms gatherings suddenly exploded among the people, blooming everywhere, and it was very lively. I personally do not approve of this kind of organized and undisciplined large-scale gathering of comrades, and it is not worth promoting.

Personally, I have refused two comrade-in-arms gatherings organized under different names. It is not because I feel that I am superior to others, disdain to be associated with them, or that I am self-absorbed and unsocial. I just feel that most gatherings of comrades-in-arms are just for "reminiscing about comrades-in-arms" and are actually about "drinking and messing around", and there is no need to participate. The general procedure for this kind of gathering of comrades-in-arms is to visit the old company (actually it will have a certain impact on the company's work, and of course some may be rejected directly), take photos, have dinner and drink together, and get drunk.

The reason why I boycott such "dirty, non-nutritious" comrade-in-arms gatherings is mainly for the following three reasons:

First, comrade-in-arms gatherings become a show of power for a few people. , a stage to show off wealth. In fact, this is also a common problem among most associations. Whether they are comrades or classmates, everyone has different ability levels and development opportunities, which inevitably leads to large gaps in social status and personal wealth. At gatherings, there will always be a small number of so-called successful comrades who want to take this opportunity to satisfy their vanity as successful people. If you must label people as so-called successful people based on their "position" or "wealth" in a secular way, no matter whether you are doing well or not, there is no need for your comrades to feel ashamed or arrogant. There is no need to compare with each other, dislike the poor and love the rich, let alone ridicule and hurt each other.

Second, the gathering of comrades became a utilitarian marketing meeting. Since the comrades-in-arms association has unfortunately become a show for a small number of people's poor performances, it is natural that some people come to join in the fun with various ulterior motives. There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. After leaving the army, some people are eager for quick success and instant benefits, always wanting to get rich overnight and live an enviable life, driving luxury cars, living in villas, and embracing beautiful women. Driven by this deviation from the normal track of values, these people dare to take risks and engage in businesses such as pyramid schemes that are on the verge of illegality. These people have a keen sense and greed for unexpected wealth, so naturally they will not miss a good opportunity to accumulate contacts such as gatherings of comrades. After meeting and chatting for a few words, I was definitely asked to leave a phone number and add a WeChat account so that I could contact him frequently in the future. The drunkard's intention is not to drink! There will be many things that will make you unbearable and annoying in the future.

Third, gatherings of comrades-in-arms have turned into battlegrounds for eating, drinking, and drinking. The highlight of most gatherings of comrades-in-arms is definitely dinner and drinking, and the climax usually occurs when everyone is drunk. I am not against drinking. As the saying goes, there is no dinner without wine. What's more, in the eyes of the common people, those who serve in the army are generous and generous people who can never get drunk with a thousand cups of wine. As the saying goes, drinking is the best way to stay healthy. Between comrades, having a few drinks in moderation can serve the purpose of enhancing feelings. However, in most gatherings of comrades-in-arms, there is a disharmonious scene. The banquet is filled with bad phenomena such as drunkenness and drinking fights. After a fierce battle at the wine table, the dishes will be in a mess, drunk and ugly in the end. Some people are immoral, talk nonsense, and say things they shouldn't say when they are drunk, which in turn hurts the feelings of their comrades who have been with them for many years.

To be honest, even if soldiers of the same age join the same company, how many of them have similar minds? "Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together." I personally feel that among comrades in arms, if they are separated by three or five close friends who are like each other, they usually communicate by phone or WeChat to exchange feelings. If you have money and leisure, you can visit each other, drink tea and make wine, and remember the bitter things and sweet memories without disturbing your normal family life. Why not!

One person’s opinion may inevitably be biased. Everyone is welcome to discuss and communicate below.

The first Saturday of November every year is the day when our Huaiyin box comrades gather. We set off from Huaiyin on November 9, 1986, and arrived in Fujian, where we became a glorious engineering soldier. While in the army, most of the comrades retired from active duty one after another, but a few of them were admitted to military academies. After so many years, there are no comrades in the army anymore. Among our 37 comrades, they work in a variety of occupations, ranging from chiefs to small vendors, workers, and drivers. However, we actively sign up for the annual gathering of comrades, and the fees for the gathering are AA. Everyone brags and chats together, talking about one year's work life and family situation. There is no distinction between high and low, and it is fun. It has been twelve years since the gathering of comrades-in-arms. Fortunately, none of the 37 comrades-in-arms are "left behind". Here, I wish all comrades-in-arms success in their work and happiness in their families!

It’s not interesting, it’s just to show off. It would be exciting if the country recruited people to join the army, and it would involve life and death. A few days ago, a 70-year-old soldier told me about the recent situation in the country. More than 70 comrades from various provinces paid 500 yuan each to visit Jiujiang, Lushan and other places for seven days. He was tired of arranging the arrangements every day and was bored to death. We will not hold gatherings like this in the future. I think it is better for us who were soldiers in 1968 and retired in 1970. We have no Internet, no mobile phones, no phone calls, and cannot communicate with each other. There are not so many things. We are all around 70, and we can't stand it. But the true love of the former comrades will always remain! If we don’t contact each other, remember, we will always be comrades in arms if we serve together! I wish all my comrades who have served in the military good health, happiness and longevity!

As August 1st is approaching, the gathering of comrades has become a hot topic again. Let’s use the topic of the subject to give some reference opinions.

Once a comrade-in-arms, a lifelong brother, there is nothing wrong with getting together properly. Comrades who have not seen each other for many years or even decades will occasionally organize visits to their old places or get together in remote places to greet each other, recall the past and present, taste delicious food, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and take photos, as if they have returned to the moment they stepped into the military camp. , there is indeed an unparalleled mood.

But after all, the old comrades have not seen each other for many years, and their bodies and other aspects have changed greatly. In many aspects, they are often unable to do what they want, and a little carelessness will often lead to lifelong regrets.

At a gathering of comrades, most of the participants are happy, but the organization of food, housing, transportation, entertainment, etc. is very complicated. The activities should be small rather than large, sophisticated but not excessive, and cross political districts and units to join in the fun. Parties should be thought twice about.

Conclusion: As the elderly grow older, their resistance and immune function decline year by year. Before the COVID-19 epidemic is over, all gatherings are unnecessary risks. Taking good care of your unique body is the best way to protect your family, family and friends. Friendship is the best thing to cherish.

Is it suitable for reference by comrades? Welcome to communicate, thank you!

The gathering of comrades-in-arms is just a label. People who value the friendship of comrades-in-arms are excited, and some are indifferent. When we are not together, we are particularly excited and longing for the reunion. Very few have served in the military, and some have looked down upon them as time has gone by. They talk about noisy topics, show off and show off, and tell the truth. The comrades who organize gatherings must be influential comrades with social status and unsatisfactory lives. There is no contact information, and no comrades care about it, but the contact information of capable comrades is known. One of my comrades in the recruit company once visited my home. When I left, I accidentally said: Come to my home to have a look when you have time. It was winter, but I didn’t expect that this comrade-in-arms took the train and got off the train one stop early because he didn’t know the route in December. He walked hundreds of miles of snowy road on a snowy night and asked around to find my home in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, there was no one at home. He didn't like it either, so he had to stay one night at a neighbor's house. He was hungry and cold, and his new leather shoes were so open. This kind of comrades-in-arms friendship is true and sincere. It has been 26 years since he was demobilized. He never attended gatherings of comrades-in-arms. He found it boring. At the dinner table, he pretended to be affectionate, calling himself brothers, and pretending. I invited him several times but refused to participate. I didn't understand it at the time, but in the early years I often participated in comradeship meetings, and various situations happened, and I gradually came to understand him. Comrades love brothers. Love may not always get deeper, but this love will always be deep in my heart. (That was the old watchtower where I once stood on guard duty)

I was a soldier in 1977. It has been 43 years since I was discharged from the army. During this period, I had two large-scale gatherings of comrades-in-arms. Classified by viewpoint, there were 6 small-scale gatherings, and the two large gatherings were basically harmonious. Comradeship, especially since we were in an era where more emphasis was placed on friendship than now. Our service also coincided with China’s self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. Since we were an air force unit, we did not have the opportunity to participate in the war, but it was still very tense. The camp area The radio station is on duty 24 hours a day, and the aircraft on duty rises and falls regularly. It is also close to the state of war, and all actions are more tense and serious than before. During this period, the combat emergency assembly was increased once a week. The sentry on duty had to put the bullet in the hall and turn off the safety. When changing the guard, the off-duty soldiers retired the bullet and checked the gun before leaving the guard post.

The comrades we gathered with were basically in the same unit. Only a few comrades were directly assigned to a certain unit of the military region after the training of the new recruit company. The night before the agreed time for each comrades gathering was basically a memory. Now they are all over 60 years old. Our company commander and platoon commander have passed away one after another, but all our comrades are still alive. When they were discharged from the army, they were all soldiers in Beijing, so the jobs they arranged after returning to Beijing were quite good. Because of our age, when we meet, we all reminisce about the past. The days have passed, and we must live well in our later years. Our current slogan is, comrades, we will miss each other every time we meet. No one can leave without reaching 99!

Why can’t comrades get together? What does it mean to eat and drink like crazy? I have been a soldier for three years, but I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Food costs your family money, and I can tell you have never been a soldier. China has 57 million veterans, who are also a valuable asset to the country. A person who has served as a soldier has given his youth to the country and fulfilled his due obligations. Only then can he be called a complete person. What I hate the most is those people who say those who have served in the military are stupid. Without soldiers, we would have the happy life we ??have now. As an outsider, you are not qualified to comment on soldiers.

The gathering of comrades-in-arms has become more and more popular in recent years. Generally, there are three parts: gathering blessings, visit memories, and slogans and singing.

I support healthy and happy gatherings of comrades every year or every 3-5 years: recalling the past, forgetting about the future, and deepening relationships. I object to tasteless and vulgar parties.

Our company is the company that has won the second-class merit for three consecutive years, and it is also the company that has been awarded the first-class merit by the Liaoning Provincial Government. There is harmony and unity among the comrades, and the company's cohesion and combat effectiveness are very strong. The various competitions, competitions, and evaluations organized by the brigade and camp basically rank between first and second.

More than twenty years later, my comrades in Dalian organized a company gathering. More than a hundred comrades from all over the country came. Everyone was very excited. They visited the company, toured the scenery, tasted farm delicacies, and shouted slogans. After walking in the queue, singing Lienge, and climbing to Tongniuling, the two-night banquet climaxed with one wave after another accompanied by dancing and singing, each wave stronger than the other...

This gathering further deepened the relationship between our comrades, especially the relationship between our former company. From this gathering, I fell in love with my comrades in our company even more, and also with the company that I fought in that year. The connotation of the passionate years in the past was further sublimated in the gathering: fitness, happiness, sunshine, upward...

When a comrade-in-arms meets a comrade-in-arms, he drinks heavily! In the circle of friends around me, those who have served in the military are pretty good drinkers. In fact, there are also some who can’t drink much. Without further ado, here’s what I know about gatherings of comrades-in-arms:

1. “Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms” ", as close as brothers." When comrades gather together, they gather together for feelings and recall their years as soldiers. As we grow older, the time we spend apart after retirement becomes longer and longer. It is quite difficult to bring together brothers who once carried guns together. Difficult. Generally, those who organize gatherings will notify everyone of the time, location, cost plan, activity content, etc. of the gathering one month in advance. In fact, it is very difficult to really bring everyone together, because there will always be various emergencies that lead to absences.

2. After the comrades gather together, it is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun, talking about life and ideals. When they reach the age of marriage, ask their girlfriends if they have implemented it. If there is no girlfriend Yes, please help me think of ways to match them up. If you are married, talk about marriage life and exchange experiences. If you have children, talk about parenting methods, etc. However, these are not the most important links, the fun is yet to come!

3. As the party progresses, more and more wine is drunk, some people start to speak awkwardly, and some people start to get tongue-tied, and the climax of the party slowly arrives. At this time, they usually do more Things we often do in the army are singing together, laughing at comrades with shortcomings, or recalling the stupid things we did when we were soldiers. We always end up drunk in the end, as if we have returned to the hot military camp and the killing place. The shocking training ground!

Finally, I think a comrade-in-arms gathering is much more innocent than an ordinary class reunion. At a party, there is no boss or leader, just a class, platoon, and company. Even brothers who live and die together in a group! After retiring from the army, everyone has their own ambitions and takes different paths, but I always believe that all roads lead to Rome. As long as you don’t give up the perseverance you had when you were a soldier, you will always succeed!
