My thoughts about my military service

I gradually find out how luck we are in the army, we are the happiest generation in this century. One decade ago or more, the military service was very painful, the leaders there only would scold you or even hit you when you made a mistake. They maight even scold you or hit you without any reason. Besides, the training and punishment were sooooo severe or even inhuman. The training in the army often went beyond our human’s limiit and some maight hurt our body or even cause death. However, people always felt proud of themselves after they finished the training. Also, they would get more courage and flexible and persevere when they finish their service. As time goes by, our human right go higher and higher gradually, a lot of severe training are forbidden by our government now. Therefore, our military life now is like a holiday, a lot of our old people always said that to me. I always feel ashamed that we lead a better life in the army. And a great number of my old friends also doubt our fighting capability. We will be defeated only in few minutes when the enemy attacks us. So, I chose airborne division in order to show my courage and get severer training. To be a soldier is kind of honer, brave and not afraid of any challenge and bitter. I am in the army about three months, and I always feel very touching whenever I watch a military program, which plays a very severe training.

A lot of my friends hate military service sooooo much, almost no one like it cause’ no one are willing to come here. But I am kind of different, and I try to cherish it since we had already come here. I learned to live a different life here, a regular life(a very healthy life), a life I need to have more energy and courage and patience, a life I can live with a lot of different-class people, I try to realize our seniors and ancestors’ pains, tears, sweat and blood here. It is a very special and unforgettable experience for all our Taiwan men.

Learn to cherish all things you have, stop complaining and comparing. Sometimes you just can't change the situation, try to look it in another side, a bright side, and accept it. And it is our life.
