Official from the Military Command of Thanh Son commune, Mai Chau district, instructs a citizen to write a letter volunteering for military service in 2024.

Thanh Son is a remote and disadvantaged commune in Mai Chau district, with a vast area and difficult transportation conditions. This year, the commune aims to recruit 20 residents for military service.

Ha Van Tho, a 19-year-old resident of Na Phat hamlet deeply rooted in the revolutionary tradition of Thanh Son, exemplifies a strong sense of duty to his hometown and country. Coming from a disadvantaged family, yet the young man, fueled by determination, submitted a letter to voluntarily enlist upon learning about the military service examination for 2024. He sees the military environment as an important school that will equip him with the skills to live in an organised, disciplined, mature and courageous manner as he steps into society. Additionally, donning the military uniform fulfills his childhood dream, motivating him to strive for excellence in training, study and the fulfillment of assigned tasks.

Among his peers, 20-year-old Dinh Anh Quan from Thung Khe hamlet also aspires to strive, train and grow in the army. After studying the Military Service Law and recognising his good health, Quan voluntarily submitted a letter for enlistment during the 2024 military recruitment campaign. He proudly acknowledges his family's military legacy, with his grandfather and uncle having served in the army. Drawn from his grandfather's stories, Quan embraces the responsibility and obligation to contribute to homeland construction and protection, prompting his voluntary decision to join military service.

To ensure a successful recruitment drive, the communal Military Command actively disseminated key points of the Military Service Law, educated locals on historical traditions, and promoted policies for young individuals to join the military, outlining the rights and duties of citizens in such service.

Nguyen Ha Cong Sang, Commander of the communal Military Command, said over the past time, the command, along with political-social organisations and local authorities, has actively carried out an educational campaign on military service. Prior to the examination, the communal youth union visited eligible young people and their families to offer encouragement and understand their aspirations and desires.
