Data Map: Another batch of graduate students from the Academy of Military Sciences graduated. (Photo by Mu Keshuang/Photo) As the first digital unit of the army, a certain division of the army in the central theater of
is an elite combat force of the army. Among the incumbent cadres of the division, there are more than 200 cadres with doctoral and master's degrees, and they are one of the units with higher education qualifications in our army's establishment.
Highly educated cadres are valuable human resources for the army. So, what will a high-educated cadre experience when entering a military job? How to transform academic advantages into competence advantages? How to make contributions based on the position? Please see the survey from the division.
■ Doctors and masters came to the grassroots level with their "full ideals" met with "skinny reality"
Zhou Yulong, a newly graduated "post-80s" optical engineering doctorate, was embarrassed the first day he came to the company.
may have deliberately exercised or tested Zhou Yulong, and the company commander gave him the task of organizing the roll call. For a whole day, he was thinking about what to say in the evening, and he thought: "We must have a good start, so that everyone can not underestimate me as a major." When
was on the roll, he looked at the neat rows of soldiers in front of him. Zhou Yulong suddenly felt very nervous: he was afraid that he would talk too much, and everyone would think he was playing prestige; he wanted to comment on the company's work throughout the day, but couldn't point out specific people and things...
made a hasty call. For the next month, Zhou Yulong's psychological shadow lingered, unable to lift his energy, and felt that he could not fit into the company. An inadvertent sentence from a company cadre during a heart-to-heart talk with him made him doubt his decision to choose to come to the grassroots level: "Scientific research units may be more suitable for you."
The author found in this division that, like Zhou Yulong, he was new to the grassroots level. There are still many graduate students who have encountered such problems. Because it is difficult to integrate into the grassroots for a while, some of them will be labeled with various labels such as "eyes and hands low".
A few years ago, due to the transformation and construction of the digital force, Guo Guohua, a postgraduate student dressed in "Air Force Blue", became the first high-achieving student to be deployed from the Air Force to the division in recent years. He also reported with 8 cross-service postgraduates.
At that time, the task of reloading, reloading, and testing of the army was very heavy. The leaders of the army were looking forward to the arrival of a few high-achieving students across the service, so they couldn't wait to assign them tasks. Some arranged specializing in new equipment operation theory, and some developed information systems. , And some leading officers and soldiers studied the training model...
It can be said that the troops have high expectations for these cadres. But after a while, everyone did not see the desired result. Some people have discovered that these graduate students are not familiar with the military situation, and there are no breakthroughs in the projects undertaken...
"But so, it seems that these graduate students are overestimated." Someone commented.
Li Yuefei, a cadre of a certain regiment with a master's degree from a prestigious university, also felt that his "full ideal" had encountered "skinny reality". From the chief of the information communication unit to the chief of the reconnaissance unit, and then to the chief of the barracks unit, he changed jobs many times in six years, but because he had not found a "power point", he finally chose to change jobs.
■When some people wander around in confusion, some people create the wonderful life of the military
So, how exactly should a highly educated cadre take the road to the military? A leader of the division gave this answer-integrate into the environment, be down-to-earth, and apply what you have learned.
In September last year, Shao Junyu, a regiment’s doctoral staff member, submitted to the regiment party committee for the third time an application to be a company commander at the grassroots level. This time, he got his wish.
"Shuttle in the training ground is the most exciting moment for me. I feel that I belong to this battlefield." Not long ago, a city offensive and defensive battle of the Synthetic Battalion started quietly. Shao Junyu commanded four tanks to coordinate with each other and forcibly enter the training ground. The "city area" successfully completed the combat mission.
, as a company long, such training has become a compulsory course for Shao Junyu. Nowadays, it seems that the company has nothing to be able to hold back Shao Junyu, leading troops to train "Ao Ao", to win gold and silver in competitions, and their daily construction is in order.
remembered the situation when Shao Junyu had just arrived, an old squad leader joked: "I feel like you are like Monkey King somersaulting a cloud. There is a thousand miles between now and then!"
Shao Junyu was studying at the Foreign Military Academy. "Dr. Returnees" did a good job in the agency. He had to be the company commander. His choice caused the officers and soldiers to speculate: "Isn't it just to come to the grassroots level for gilding, mixed with the experience of the chief officer!" Wait and see!” When
just arrived in the company, Shao Junyu obviously felt left out by the officers and soldiers, and some of the backbones did not care about his work.stand by. What is commendable is that Shao Junyu did not complain or give up because of this, but kept reflecting on: Is he not grounded, or is there a problem with his method?
Shao Junyu talked to the chopsticks one by one, opening his heart to express his thoughts. In less than half a month, he knew the basic information such as the names, personality characteristics, and training levels of the soldiers of the whole company. In physical training, he competed with the training experts of the company, and he did not lag behind in everything; he also played his professional strengths, he himself Innovating training equipment has greatly improved the company's professional training performance. It has appeared in front of the whole regiment many times...
Gradually, the company officers and soldiers looked at this "airborne" company commander with admiration. Regardless of whether the officers and soldiers guessed or liked it, Shao Junyu has always insisted on being at the grassroots level and in the battle position, becoming an excellent chief officer recognized by the top and bottom.
"Almost every graduate student who comes to the army will have a buffer period and an adaptation period. Through this period bravely, by lowering their stature and rooting in the grassroots, they can successfully surpass themselves." said a regiment political commissar of the division.
Cao Minju, head of a certain Red Army regiment, born in 1982, is a doctoral student with a degree in combat command from the former Shijiazhuang Army Command College. Returning to work from academy, Cao Minju quickly changed his role and adjusted his status, and joined the troop training tide with a charge posture.
drills one after another, so that Cao Minju found a sense of accomplishment in the smoke of gunpowder to apply what he learned and deploy troops. During the exercise, he became a fearful opponent for the "enemy" and a commander that officers and soldiers were willing to follow.
There are many postgraduate cadres like Shao Junyu and Cao Minju who have worked well in the army.
Platoon Commander, Communications Staff Officer, Infantry Company Commander, Reconnaissance Unit Commander, Training Staff Officer, Reconnaissance Battalion Commander... This is the experience of the doctor Guo Guohua who was originally "just so" in the eyes of officers and soldiers. Step by step, he has achieved a series of achievements in his position.
"When some highly educated cadres are wandering in confusion, some have created the splendor of military life." Wang Qianjun, chief of the cadre section of the political department of the division, introduced that there are currently more than 130 highly educated cadres in the division. Focus on training and using the talent pool.
■The key to the growth of highly educated talents lies in their own efforts, but it is also inseparable from the careful training and support of the organization.
At the technical workstation of a certain regiment, the most frequent visits are young people with the rank of major or above. In this science and technology workstation, more than half of post-80s and post-90s cadres with doctoral and master's degrees are born.
An Zhao, a 42-year-old information system engineer who graduated with a Ph.D. in weapon systems and applications, said that in the science and technology workstation, a place where highly educated talents gather, I like to communicate and discuss with these young people because they "dare to think and dare Work hard and dare to practice", and the method of training people at the science and technology workstation is to "give opportunities and burdens." Although
is a round older than other doctors and masters in age, An Zhao is very impressed with the growth path of high-educated cadres. For more than three years, this doctorate with experience in battalion and company positions and profound professional skills has been promoted to two consecutive levels.
"The eyes of the grassroots officers and soldiers are discerning, and rhetoric is useless. The key is to let everyone see your true ability!" In recent years, An Zhao has led 5 scientific and technological innovations, all of which have won the Army Science and Technology Progress Award. Benefits played an important role in promoting.
Looking back on his own growth path, An Zhao said: "My growth has benefited from the good environment in the regiment that encourages innovation and tolerates failure, and thanks to the help of the leaders and comrades when I am discouraged!"
13 years ago At that time, Gao Yubao, the platoon commander at the time, chose the mechanized combat corps combat theory major, which was very popular at the time, and began to read the master and doctor. However, after returning from his studies, he found that the mechanized equipment he was familiar with had been replaced by digital equipment, and he felt very at a loss for a while. A division leader of
recalled that at that time there were seven or eight doctors and masters who were in similar situations with Gao Yubao. The construction of the digital force had just started, and some basic tasks needed such highly educated cadres. "You can't let these talents go to waste!" The division's party committee made a decision to let them participate in the task of compiling the training outline for the digital force.
"Later practice proved that knowledge is interlinked, and masters and Ph.Ds were not studied for nothing." Recalling this experience, Gao Yubao, who is now the chief engineer of the regiment, said that when we were very anxious, fortunately the leader did not give up on us. . The author learned that under the careful training of the division and regiment, Gao Yubao later became an infantry company commander and a combined battalion commander. Several graduate students with mismatched majors who graduated in the same batch with him have now become a belt for army building.Head man. They expressed a common aspiration during the interview: high-educated cadres contribute to the grassroots level, personal efforts are important, but just like fish cannot do without water, the stage provided by the organization, the environment created, and the assistance given are also essential .
