My Military Career in a Parallel World

Of course, these company commanders and platoon leaders traveled all the way to the regiment headquarters not just for a few new recruits.

As mentioned before, the assignment of new recruits to companies needs to refer to the needs of the employer, and they are here for this very purpose.

Time always moves forward. No matter how difficult the days are, they will pass one day after another.

On October 15th, just halfway through the third month, the assessment for new recruits finally began.

The first day’s assessment item is physical fitness.

The assessment content is also very simple.

第一项：三千米轻装跑。11分30秒以内优秀，12分10以内良好，13分50秒内及格。

Item 65: Push-ups. Time limit is two minutes. More than 45 are excellent, more than 35 are good, and more than are passing.

Item 3: Sit-ups, the rules and judging criteria are the same as push-ups.

Item 100: Squat down and stand up. More than 80 are excellent, more than 60 are good, and more than are passing.

The difficulty of the assessment on the first day was not high, and most recruits could easily reach the passing line.

In Class Five, Jiang Chen and Li Qiang, needless to say, scored above the excellent line in all subjects.

Jiang Chen's 3,000-meter result was close to the ten-minute mark.

This result is not too bad even for a reconnaissance company, let alone a recruit company. It is considered to have barely reached the standard of a national second-level athlete.

Of course, the 3,000 meters here are not the same as the 3,000 meters that everyone usually comes into contact with.

Wear light, wear light, but that doesn't mean you should run with nothing, not to mention that the camouflage uniform on your body will more or less affect your speed when you run.

Except for Jiang Chen and Li Qiang, the performance of other students in Class 5 is also not bad.

The worst three of Zhang Meng, Chu Fei and Luo Ming all passed the good standard. Only Fatty Sun was slightly worse, with only two items, the 3,000 meters and the squats, passing well, while the push-ups and sit-ups were just barely passing.

The assessment of new recruits concerns everyone's future, and this is no joke.

What kind of company you will eventually be assigned to and whether the other party is willing to accept you will largely depend on your results in the recruit assessment.

For example, the reconnaissance battalion.

If you want to join the reconnaissance camp, the most basic requirement is that you must pass the excellent line in all projects, especially those related to physical fitness and endurance.

If they can't even do this, forget about being a reconnaissance company.

The same is true for other companies, which all have more or less fixed indicators.

In addition, there are some special departments that also have requirements.

For example, guards in front of the regiment headquarters building will give priority to soldiers who are over 1.8 meters tall, and pickets, who are regarded as public enemies by all soldiers, also have similar requirements.

Of course, if you have special skills, you will be admitted even if you do not meet the requirements.

This is the case with Sun Weicheng from Jiang Chen's class.

Although he does not have a nationally certified chef certificate, everyone who has tasted his cooking has praised it. Even the chef in the canteen of the recruit company praised Sun Weichen for his potential to be a cook.

Especially when it comes to making big pot meals, Sun Weichen is simply too good at it.

It was because the master who taught him at the beginning usually worked as a banquet host in the countryside.

Anyone who has attended a banquet in the countryside should know that this kind of meal is much more difficult to prepare than a banquet in a restaurant.

From slaughtering pigs and sheep and cutting their parts to preparing the ingredients and seasonings, the master chef is in charge of everything.

The number of people coming to eat on the day of the banquet was no less than that in the army canteen, and most of the time there were several groups coming in succession.

This is what is commonly referred to as the first seat, second seat, and third seat at rural banquets.

We must ensure both the quality of the dishes and the speed of serving them.

Therefore, although Sun Weichen does not have a formal chef certificate, it does not affect his popularity at all.

If Li Gang had not made arrangements in advance, Sun Weicheng would have also wanted to go to the reconnaissance company to see the world. Without priority in recruitment, Ge Hongtao might not have been able to get such a good cook.

There are new assessment items every day. Although the results or rankings are not announced after each assessment, everyone has a scale in their hearts to measure their own performance.

After all, not everyone takes the assessment alone, so we can know how each person performs by comparing their performance.

Some are laughing, some are crying, some are in high spirits, and some are sad.

The most miserable ones are the new recruits whose grades are just around the passing line.

Every time the assessment ends, I feel so nervous.

I said I didn’t pass, but it felt like it was about the same. I said I did, but I didn’t feel confident enough…

By the 19th, most of the items had been completed, leaving only the final live-fire shooting and grenade throwing, as well as tactical moves that were specifically left out of the test.

In addition, there are some projects that do not have fixed assessment standards but are very important.

For example, the queue; another example is military boxing and assassination, etc.

Because there is no specific standard for this type of project, the assessment method is different from other projects.

The new recruits have been notified that the company will hold a drill from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. tomorrow, and the drill will include drills and military boxing.

At that time, the regiment commander, political commissar, and several company commanders will come to visit.

After receiving this news, instead of being nervous, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The highlight has finally arrived. All this time of training day and night is for this moment.

It's not that everyone lacks confidence in passing the assessment, but since the end of the regular physical fitness assessment, there has been no movement in other projects, which has made everyone nervous all day long, worried that they will be suddenly pulled out for the assessment. Now that we have accurate information, we can finally put our minds at ease.

The next day, after breakfast, the recruits gathered at the playground early and conducted drills in advance according to the arrangements of the squad leaders.

At ten o'clock, surrounded by a group of officers, the regiment commander Zheng Xingguo strode to the front of the rostrum. Next to him was the political commissar, whom the recruits had seen before at the commendation ceremony. On his right was Feng Yao, the lieutenant colonel chief of staff.

Next came Deputy Chief of Staff Li and Reconnaissance Battalion Commander Lei Zhenjun.

Yes, Lei Zhenjun was also present at today’s recruit drill.

Next are the company commanders, instructors, platoon leaders and other lieutenant-level officers.

In the queue of new recruits, looking at the rows of officers on the rostrum, especially when these people's eyes swept over, many new recruits who originally felt nothing happened began to get nervous involuntarily.

"Fuck, Brother Chen, there are so many officers! I'm a little nervous, what should I do..."

Zhang Meng, who thought he had a good mental state, couldn't help but sweat in his palms when faced with such a situation, let alone other people.

Zhou Xinghai, who was sitting at the front of the team, had his calves trembling already. He Wenjie and the others beside him weren't much better, with beads of sweat pouring out of their foreheads.

"Don't be afraid of anything. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Just pretend they don't exist and practice well!" Chu Fei didn't feel anything and still looked carefree.

"How can I not be nervous? Not to mention the regiment commander and the political commissar, just look at the officers next to us. Maybe one of them is our future company commander or instructor! How can I not be nervous..."

"Oh, it's simple, just don't treat them as human beings, that's all!

Besides, why worry so much? If you don’t perform well, it’s hard to say whether they will accept you or not.”

"Uh……"

Everyone in Class 5 was speechless at Chu Fei's big heart. They could only shut their mouths and take deep breaths to relieve their inner tension.

No matter whether they are nervous or not, what is coming will eventually come.

Following Ge Hongtao's order, more than a hundred recruits were deployed in squads and platoons, and passed through the training ground in front in groups.

The recruits held guns in both hands and changed their pace according to the commands. Apart from the orderly footsteps, the only sounds in the entire training ground were the commands given by the team leaders and platoon leaders.

From the most basic drill training such as standing at attention, at ease, turning while standing still, marching in step, and goose-stepping, to military boxing and assassination drills.

It was clearly autumn, and the weather in recent days was not as hot as it was a while ago. However, after only running less than two hundred meters, Jiang Chen and his companions still had a layer of fine beads of sweat on their backs.

It sounded easy, but in front of so many people, especially when passing by the rostrum, facing the scrutinizing eyes of a group of officers including the regiment commander and the political commissar, even the most spirited recruits felt more or less nervous.

With their nerves tense, they walked across the podium, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they no longer felt the vague scrutiny from above.

"Huh... I'm so nervous!" Chu Fei, who had looked indifferent before, couldn't help but let out a breath, and wiped his sweaty hand holding the gun on his clothes.

"You did a good job and didn't embarrass me!" As the squad leader, Li Gang finally smiled after many days.

Although he is a veteran, he is also a member of the class. Naturally, he could not miss the company and platoon drills.

Li Gang's smile seemed to be some kind of signal, relaxing everyone's nerves that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Sergeant, I feel that with my level just now, I will have no problem going to Tiananmen Square to participate in the military parade!" Chu Fei seemed to have forgotten the sweat on his hands due to nervousness, and boasted with a smug look on his face.

Li Gang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Well, I also think you performed well!

However, if you want to participate in the military parade, your innate conditions are still a little lacking."

"Ah?" Chu Fei was just acting out of instinct. He didn't expect Li Gang to respond at all. He was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Chen got Li Gang's intention immediately and stepped forward to finish off the opponent.

"What the monitor means is that you should first find a way to get plastic surgery, and then ask the doctor if there is any way to increase your height!"

"Haha..." The other people in Class 5 also reacted and laughed.

"Get out of here! Am I that short?!" Chu Fei shouted angrily. If he didn't have to pay attention to military appearance and discipline outside, he would have wanted to rush up and punch each of these unscrupulous guys.

"Yes, yes, I'm not short, I just haven't reached the standard to participate in the military parade..." Jiang Chen tried to hold back his smile and comforted her.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

To be honest, Chu Fei's height is not short for a northerner, but it is still a little short from the selection standards for the military parade.

Although the official selection criteria for men for the military parade is 1 to 75 meters tall, the criteria will be more stringent during the actual selection.

The height error of soldiers in the same queue cannot exceed 0.5 centimeters. Once it exceeds the standard, they will be eliminated no matter how good their performance is.

If you're lucky, there's still a chance to fill in the gaps if the other formations are short of people.

bad luck……

As for Jiang Chen saying that Chu Fei should get plastic surgery, that was purely a joke.

Chu Fei's appearance was definitely not ugly, it was just that he got a little tanned after joining the army, and there were some acne marks on his face from puberty, which made him look a little unattractive.

The recruit drill lasted until after noon and ended with the regiment leader’s summary speech.

After lunch, Jiang Chen and the others were temporarily dismissed and returned to the dormitory to recuperate and prepare for the afternoon tactical assessment.

Of course, rest is rest and the body can relax, but the ears cannot be idle.

During the lunch break, Li Gang explained to them over and over again the key points of tactical actions and how to deal with accidents.

Although everyone had already memorized these things, Li Gang was still a little worried.

There is no way around it, because during the tactical assessment, just like the drill just now, the leaders of the regiment and officers from each company will come to watch.

It was such an important occasion, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Of course, it is not easy for the regiment commander and the political commissar to spare a morning to come here when they have so much to do every day. The two leaders probably won’t come for the afternoon tactical assessment.

However, the two chiefs of staff and company commanders such as Captain Shen will most likely be present.

Because, compared to the morning drill, the afternoon's tactical assessment is their main focus.

Every year, the battle to recruit new recruits begins at this time.

In the afternoon, all the recruits lined up on the sand outside the tactical training ground.

Ge Hongtao walked to the front of the team and without any further ado, ordered the squad leaders to start checking the equipment of the new recruits.

Because the probability of injury in tactical training is extremely high, the recruits will make some preparations every time they practice tactical training.

For example, wrap some vulnerable parts with gauze, put Band-Aids on the finger joints, etc.

"As a soldier, the scars on your body are your medals. These scars record your growth and transformation over the past three months!

So, there is no need for you to hide!

Today, you must show your most resolute side and let the leaders see your three months of hard work and efforts! "

Although Ge Hongtao doesn't usually say similar words, it doesn't mean he won't say them.

Don't forget, he is also an officer who graduated from a military academy.

Today, with so many people present, Ge Hongtao has to be careful about the impact. He can't just open his mouth and shut up like before.

Unfortunately, the recruits did not appreciate the company commander's kindness.

It sounds so nice, but in the end aren't we the ones who suffer?

What's more, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the training ground in the distance.

It can be seen with the naked eye that there seem to be more stones on the training ground today than in the past...

When they got closer and looked, the recruits couldn't help but curse.

Damn, this is such a wicked thing. You said you were just throwing stones on the ground, but why are they sharper than each other? If someone crawls around with them, it will be fatal!

This is going to be a tough time...
