Each person has their own thoughts and goals, but all are oriented towards the sacred mission to the country ahead.

Joined the army because of love for mother's green military uniform

Born into a family with a military tradition, Hoang Bao Ngoc is one of six female citizens who volunteered to join the army in 2024 in Ho Chi Minh City. After completing her undergraduate degree at the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications Technology, she asked her family for permission and wrote an application to voluntarily join the army to continue her family's tradition.

The impression of majesty that the military uniform brings always urges me to one day stand in the ranks of the Vietnam People's Army.

When asked why she volunteered to join the military, Bao Ngoc shared: "Since I was young, I had the opportunity to join my mother's unit. Living and experiencing, understanding a part of the military environment, my love for the green uniform of the soldier gradually grew. Every time I prepared the military uniform for my mother, I always wanted to put on her shoulder boards and military ranks, that always made me proud."

Working for many years at Security Group 2, Military Security Department, Ms. Dao Thi Huong, Bao Ngoc's mother, confided: "As a soldier, when my child was young, I often brought her along for convenient care. I am proud that my daughter is now following the family tradition. I hope that the military environment will continue to nurture and help my child become stronger."

The Youth Union officer dreams of becoming a navy soldier.

As a young and dynamic Youth Union cadre and a young Party member of Phu Nhuan district (HCMC), Mr. Trinh Hoang Minh Nhat always admires the image of Navy soldiers who guard the sacred skies and seas of the Fatherland day and night.

When he learned that he had passed the military service exam in 2024, Nhat applied to join the 957th Naval Brigade - Naval Region 4.
