Misery of Military Training

Hua Miaomiao was a homosexual, whom people would normally call “gay”. The man he liked happened to be involved with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing knew about this and the two of them had often quarreled because of that man.

However, the quarrel would always end with Hua Miaomiao getting defeated, and because of that, Hua Miaomiao would always crib to Gu Youli.

But it was just a complaint. After that, Hua Miaomiao would always say that he did not lose. The problem was that the man didn’t like men.

Luckily, the woman that man liked was Chu Qing, that tomboy, so it wasn’t someone else who had gotten lucky.

Childhood friends are like that.

The University’s usual practice was to conduct military training for the freshmen for a month.

All the freshmen would be in camo uniform, waking up at 6 am every day to train in the school field.

The mornings and nights were still tolerable. However, the afternoon sun was really baking them like they were in an oven. Those who got a tan were lucky. But some people’s ears were sunburnt badly.

The worst part was the military dress. It was a long-sleeved camo uniform with a cap.

Wearing that kind of uniform in such hot weather was worse than anything else. However, when the students gave feedback about that, the officer-in-charge said that it was for their own good.

The long sleeves and cap would prevent everyone’s skin from peeling and getting sunburnt.

Besides, any sort of feedback was useless. They still had to be in their camo military uniform and cap every morning as they stood in attention, did formation training, and goose step training.

Usually, they would stand in attention for several hours.

To Gu Youli, all these were not very tough things to do.

Before she landed the job as a jewelry salesperson, she had been a drifter. A drifter was someone who set up street stalls on the ground.

Her job needed her to run a lot, whether in the blazing sun or raging wind. As long as it didn’t rain, she would be there with a huge bag of goods to sell. Hence, the military training was a piece of cake for her.

However, that was not the case for the other students. A few days into the training, many people started fainting from a heat stroke almost every day. That situation made the officer-in-charge shake his head as he lamented at how weak the children were these days.

Talking about military training, people would usually think of the devil officer-in-charge. Actually, no matter how scary the officer-in-charge was, he would still be a little lenient in his punishments.

The scariest one was the company commander. After so many days of military training, they were punished almost every night by the company commander. It was either a standing punishment, or sitting, or worst, squatting.

The officer-in-charge would tell everyone to tolerate it because the company commander was about to retire from the military.

He wanted to receive an outstanding commander award so he had planned to push them to their absolute limits. The officer-in-charge pointed a finger upwards and told them that the higher-ups had sent an important person to overlook the matter, who would be visiting the campus soon.

In the end, everyone kept scolding the company commander behind his back.

After seven days of military training, there were more and more people fainting almost every day and the ambulance even had to be called in for serious cases.

Gu Youli glanced at Xiao Qi, who was standing beside her, and realized that her face was as pale as a sheet. She was also perspiring more than most people. She genuinely did not look well.

Gu Youli became distracted from the exercise while looking at Xiao Qi. The officer-in-charge walked over to her immediately and howled in her ear, “What are you doing? Where are your eyes focused? Is your head born facing the side? Newbie, are you asking for a punishment?”

The officer-in-charge was already being polite to Gu Youli by only scolding her. If it was a male student, he would have definitely kicked him by now.

Training university students was just like training soldiers. No, it was worse than training soldiers.

Gu Youli breath quickened. She straightened up and looked in front, nervously.
