a marine brigade in the Navy amphibious reconnaissance teams, in addition to Zhezhi female squadron, there are a few pieces of male soldiers squadron.

majority of men in this camp, the only female team a different look natural, this “men and women are different” from the camp’s buildings located in the obvious: Other Building groups are concentrated in the camp is located on one side, only the female dormitory and canteen in the camp alone, the other corner, around the front of the two blocks will be the only piece of the “female domain” from the camp of the world of men distinguish, as men’s and women’s team “line.”

Marines in forging the training ground, women’s and men’s team the “dividing line” was never there. Morning, when the male cross-country team ran around the camp, the same team of heavily armed woman ran across the face with them; the hot sun under the sun, the firing of female players and male players, as an aim the target lying on the floor is half an hour motionless; dinner the night after training, light training successful men and members of the body down on the lawn shoot crisp, and the practice of female members of Sanda kick plate is tiger style –

“you We now see everyday in the camp only when the catch, shooting, bomb, 400-meter steeplechase and other basic training, in fact, there is still a lot of our training. “deputy chief Xie Dan told me that female soldiers came to the amphibious reconnaissance teams , to accept the first idea is: Marines do not speak, “men and women are different.” In the amphibious reconnaissance teams, in addition to skydiving subjects, female and male members of the training team members are identical, scuba diving, rock climbing, vehicle driving and other players to master the skills of men and women players also have to eleven learning, training content, including drilling mud, armed swimming and other training, including sea, male and female players is every year simultaneously. It can be said, the Marines trained to “go play, possession, reconnaissance,” the ability to master the amphibious capability, not because of gender differences in men and women have different.

Undeniably, in the beyond the conventional range of military training, and male players in order to achieve the same training requirements, female players have to pay more to withstand the more honed. Because sweat too much, some players who appeared in a block of white sweat stain; because of long training runs, almost everyone’s ankles are too periostitis, not including the ligaments, etc. in their eyes is not worth mention the pain. Female who can not put these in mind. Chatted about the recent dive training, they do not mention carrying a few pounds heavier oxygen bottle into the water more difficult, but fun in the underwater swim relish; to learn to open ourselves to hear the motorcycle, they one by one all cheered, happy like a normal girl to buy a long-admired the beautiful clothes.

why these girls are so brave and strong? Because when they come out from the big Haibo Tao in the battles, suffering in the hot sand out from the brutal training in forging out, they no longer than an ordinary girl, an ordinary soldier, but a navy woman tempered into a steel Marines.

interview Postscript:

may be correspondent to the time is not a coincidence, amphibious reconnaissance team came to women, when female soldiers who have completed a two- months of sea training, diving training has just ended shortly after I heard that motorcycle drivers to learn to conduct only after two weeks, so I regret to miss the insight into the Navy, Marines woman amazing that all the superior skills. But they spent together with their army career, the most common, the most common of the week, but I was still deeply impressed by the female group the Mood for Love. Because, even as a Marine, living, training is not always filled with new and exciting, boring, and they repeat the same account for years most of the barracks, and they also experienced than the average female more brutal, hard temper. This is their song of youth, an amazing song!

I am glad they can experience the most common of these women Marines, the most common of the week, they can record the most normal, most natural life, the training picture, tell them the true, moving story.
