"I dream of becoming a border guard officer, my younger brother will join the navy. My brother and I want to be trained and dedicate ourselves to the army for a long time, contributing to protecting the borders and islands of the Fatherland" - Manh Hao said about both of their dreams.
The twins are as alike as two peas in a pod, even their hair is styled the same, their interests, thoughts, and many things they say are exactly the same, only their middle names are different to easily distinguish between the two of them.
Perhaps that's why even choosing a military career became a common ideal of the two brothers.
Loving the image of Uncle Ho's soldiers, Manh Hao was fascinated by any program about soldiers and then took the trouble to find more in-depth information.
Manh Hao once took the entrance exam to an officer school but did not get enough points to pass. But the dream of wearing a soldier's uniform never stopped urging him.
Manh Hao said he was lucky to volunteer to join the army this time and was accepted, so he will strive to become a border guard in the future.
His twin brother Mai Hao was not willing to be outdone by his brother, he also volunteered to write an application and was also selected this time. Mai Hao said he really liked the "white seagull uniform" of the navy soldiers, hoping to freely roam the remote islands of the Fatherland.
"I think military career is my dream. I want to set foot on Truong Sa island or be stationed at DK1 platform, side by side with my teammates to patrol, guard, and protect each milestone of the sacred sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland" - Mai Hao shared.
Welcoming guests in a level 4 house, Mr. Hoang Bui Hong - father of twin sons named Hao - said that he used to be a soldier stationed in Gia Lam (Hanoi).
The family has three sons, the eldest of whom is currently studying and training at the Military School of Military Region 7. "The two children joined the army, on one hand to continue the family tradition, on the other hand to strive and train to become officers, to serve the army for a long time.
That is the family's greatest wish and joy" - Mr. Hong smiled.
The twin brothers are among more than 270 young people in Vung Tau City who have volunteered to apply for military service during this year's recruitment season.
Today (February 27), Manh Hao and Mai Hao will say goodbye to their families to begin their military career and realize their childhood dream.
The older brother likes to go to the forest, the younger brother wants to go to the sea. Although they know that there will be many difficulties and confusion at first, the disciplined military environment is where both of them long to experience and are ready for the months of training, to become Uncle Ho's soldiers in the near future.
