On February 11, Mr. Nguyen Minh Dau, residing in Thuan Hoa commune, An Minh district, Kien Giang province, said he was preparing to leave for military service .

Mr. Dau, 25 years old, is currently an English teacher at Au Co Primary School, Rach Gia City. In early 2025, Mr. Dau wrote an application to volunteer for military service and temporarily stopped working at the school to fulfill his duty to the Fatherland.

"This is also an opportunity for me to train myself. The training process in the military will help me learn more life skills, build resilience, willpower and solidarity.

This action also demonstrates the responsibility of young people towards the Fatherland, family and society," said Mr. Dau.
