These days, the atmosphere in Dong Nai becomes more bustling as young men who have passed the military service (NVQS) prepare their luggage to go to the army. This year is special because many twins and brothers are enlisting together.

Sharing the same ideal

In Bien Hoa City, twins Hoang The Anh and Hoang Hai Anh (born 2004, Trang Dai ward) are excited about starting a new journey.

The Anh said that since childhood, both brothers had dreamed of wearing the green uniform of a soldier. With the encouragement of their parents, this year, after studying refrigeration repair, both brothers volunteered to join the army.

"We want to practice, challenge ourselves and contribute a part of our youth to the country" - The Anh said.

Hai Anh also eagerly said that he was very proud to be able to do military service with his brother. This was an opportunity for them to bond and support each other throughout the training process.

In Long Khanh City, the Military Service Council also received many applications from young people to volunteer for military service. Notably, two brothers, Vo Anh Vu (born in 2005) and Vo Anh Dung (born in 2006), residing in Bao Vinh Ward, Long Khanh City, both passed the examination and were eligible to join the army.

According to the Military Service Law, one of the two brothers can be temporarily deferred from military service. However, with a patriotic spirit and a desire to contribute, Vu and Dung asked their families for permission and wrote a volunteer application with the determination to carry out this sacred duty together.

Sharing the same spirit with his brother, Anh Dung said he was proud when he decided to volunteer to join the army.

"I want to wear the soldier's uniform, train myself and fulfill my civic duty" - Dung expressed.
