Present at the training ground of the Female Signal Corps of the Signal Corps, we saw the image of sisters adjusting each other's uniforms and training equipment, which moved many people. They were Captain Nhu Hong Chien and Lieutenant Nhu Thi Chang, born and raised in their hometown of Thai Nguyen. Chien graduated from Thai Nguyen Medical Vocational College and Chang graduated from Thai Nguyen College of Economics and Finance. Although they already had jobs and relatively stable incomes, both of them still decided to volunteer to join the army to fulfill their dream of serving in the military environment.

After studying and training, in 2015, Nhu Hong Chien was assigned by her superiors to work at Warehouse KV3, Department of Armaments, General Department of Logistics and Engineering. In 2022, Nhu Thi Chang was fortunate to work in the same unit as her sister. It was an honor and pride when both were selected to participate in the parade at the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

To be in the team, both of them went through very strict preliminary rounds, health checks, height, weight, and appearance. During the initial training period at Battalion 88, Brigade 134 (Communication Corps), both of them went through each stage of training, from basic training for each person, each group, each row, as a basis for practicing coordination in two rows, three rows, 1/3 of a block, 1/2 of a block... then the whole block, ensuring that the requirements of correctness, uniformity, strength, beauty, and solemnity were met. "The biggest difficulty for us was the high training intensity, strict requirements on individual movements, coordination when walking in rows, in block formation, while the hot and erratic weather. However, those difficulties were not barriers, but we considered them a measure, a test of perseverance and determination on the path to realizing our dreams," Chien confided.

When asked which exercise move they found the most difficult, both Chien and Chang laughed and said in unison: "Leg lift". Then, Chien explained: "Striking the arms combined with leg lift, because this move requires leg lift over time, while the body remains straight and upright, the center of gravity, the whole body weight is concentrated on one leg as the support".

In the coming time, the training will take place at a high intensity, in hot weather conditions, but Chang and Chien affirmed that together they will be determined to complete the task excellently. For them, this is not only a political task but also a source of pride and gratitude from the younger generation to their fathers and brothers who died in the cause of fighting for national independence and building the country.
