At the scene of the promotion ceremony for senior sergeants, Ling Min, a technician from a certain regiment of the Eastern Theater Command Navy, couldn't help but feel excited when he changed to the rank of third level sergeant. Three years ago, after multiple rounds of selection, Ling Min became a reserve senior sergeant. Although his military rank remained unchanged, he felt a heavier mission on his shoulders. For the past three years, as a mechanic, Ling Min has been watching the eagle soar through the clouds, releasing her dreams together in that boundless sky. Many evenings, as he gazed at the warhawk slowly landing on the tarmac, he would silently record the gains and losses of the day's flight mission, striving to accelerate the speed of his ability generation. Tracking Ling Min's growth trajectory, this "reserve" time is like a quenching and advancement of military career, allowing him to constantly confirm his direction of progress and hone his practical skills in the test of tasks. Ling Min thus completed the transition from a reserve senior sergeant to a senior sergeant. "Reserve is to better reserve combat power." In order to strengthen the selection of senior sergeants, since 2016, the Eastern Theater Command Navy has comprehensively implemented the selection measures for reserve senior sergeants, focusing on incorporating loyal and professional sergeant talents into the reserve group of senior sergeants for key training. Standing at the new starting point of being a reserve senior sergeant, elite sergeants selected from numerous backbones have overcome the "ability bottleneck" through repeated quenching and tempering, and stepped onto the position of senior sergeant. The story of Ling Min's accelerated growth is a vivid footnote to the implementation of the innovative selection and training of reserve senior soldiers. The subordinate units of the Eastern Theater Command Navy have begun to explore practical paths that are suitable for their professional needs based on their respective functions and missions - how to select, cultivate, and utilize reserve senior sergeants effectively. Opening the thick talent file, we can see the steps of the navy towards deep blue. A reserve senior sergeant team that dares to fight, is capable of fighting, and skilled in fighting is accelerating its rise. Today, let's approach this group of reserve senior soldiers and gain insights into the new model of talent echelon construction in the Eastern Theater Command Navy from their journey of success. Leave opportunities for more suitable people and focus the refined fire on better steel. In 2023, a technician from a certain submarine detachment, Zhang Yanjun, and another intermediate sergeant are applying to become reserve senior sergeants for a certain position. Two candidates, one quota, who can be selected? The officers and soldiers are particularly concerned about this. Some people believe that although Zhang Yanjun has outstanding abilities and achievements, he is still young and has many opportunities in the future. The unit should take care of another sergeant who has almost reached the minimum service life. Soon, a specialized assessment was organized for two candidates. As experts in the professional field, both of them successfully completed the relevant tests for basic skills assessment. In the special situation handling stage, a series of situations randomly set by the assessment team posed a severe test to the two technicians. On the screen, the system operates on and off, causing a malfunction. Zhang Yanjun understood in his heart that the control system is like the eyes of a submarine. If the problem cannot be quickly identified and eliminated, it will affect the navigation of the submarine. While thinking, he quickly picked up the tools and began to rush for repairs. Time passed by minute by second, and Zhang Yanjun leaned sideways between the equipment and the cabin wall, carefully inspecting every corner of the external wiring and internal components. In the end, he discovered an abnormality in a board in the power system. After replacement and debugging, Zhang Yanjun successfully eliminated the fault and passed the assessment, and it took much faster than another sergeant. The selection results were announced, and he was successfully selected as a reserve senior sergeant. In the view of the leader of the detachment, the failure of another sergeant is indeed regrettable, but it is not regrettable. "What we need to choose is a reserve senior sergeant who is more suitable for practical combat needs, regardless of age and seniority, only based on ability." At the Party Committee Standing Committee meeting that confirmed the selection list, everyone unanimously agreed that although Zhang Yanjun was young, he had excellent military qualities and rich experience in tasks, and should be selected as a reserve senior sergeant. "This selection method based on quality and progress based on actual performance has convinced both 'old scalpers' and' thousand mile horses'." According to a leader of a naval agency in the Eastern Theater Command, in recent years, the selection and training of senior sergeants have shown a steady improvement trend. Among the intermediate sergeants included in the pre training of the reserve team, 96% have experienced training in important positions above class monitor, and a considerable proportion of sergeants have successfully transitioned from the reserve team to become members of the senior sergeant group. By carrying out cross unit horizontal selection to break the ship company system and cross age vertical selection to break the outdated seniority system, they used a series of dynamic management and practical measures to select the best and eliminate the worst, allowing this "talent reserve team" to continue to burst with vitality. Recalling his two selections as a reserve senior soldier, Jiang Lei, a technician from a certain regiment, was filled with emotions. Three years ago, Jiang Lei was selected as a reserve senior sergeant. After layers of screening, standing in front of the display window of the public list, this soldier who had served for 16 years was full of confidence, and had the illusion of being able to "get on the train" smoothly. Since then, Jiang Lei has relaxed his demands on himself and started to handle things in his daily professional studies. In his first year as a reserve senior sergeant, Jiang Lei remained in this state of rest. He is confident that with years of professional foundation, he can easily handle the process assessment of reserve senior soldiers. What Jiang Lei didn't expect was that during several assessments that year, a series of tricky problems and rare special circumstances emerged one after another. Due to his lack of study, he is at a loss in the face of many new situations. Although Jiang Lei barely passed the assessment, the implementation measures for the selection of reserve senior soldiers clearly stipulated that "if the evaluation result did not reach an excellent level, he should be adjusted to withdraw from the list of reserve senior soldiers", and he still did not achieve his desired promotion. After this defeat, Jiang Lei regained his composure and set off again. That year, the new equipment support of the regiment encountered difficulties, and he devoted himself to researching and organizing the research results into a series of professional textbooks and operating standards. At the same time, Jiang Lei has written multiple papers summarizing valuable experiences in equipment support. With these efforts, he successfully "killed" back into the reserve senior sergeant team last year. In recent years, many people have been eliminated every year. Eliminating is to leave opportunities for more suitable people and concentrate the tempering heat on better steel. "Implementing the work model of cultivating and exercising, regularly adjusting, and having both entry and exit as reserve senior sergeants is both a direction and a mechanism." According to a leader of a naval agency in the Eastern Theater Command, the selected reserve senior sergeants will be arranged to participate in educational upgrades and manufacturer training, with priority given to carrying out major combat readiness and training tasks. Becoming a reserve senior sergeant is not living in a safe, but in an incubator. What we need is the eagle that can break through the eggshell from the inside The leader told reporters. The roadmap is countless, and the common direction is to cultivate a capable and reliable sergeant talent. On the night when he was selected as a reserve senior sergeant, Chang Fengqiang, a technician from a certain military equipment support brigade, couldn't sleep all night. Crossing this threshold, Chang Fengqiang realized unprecedentedly that his abilities and qualities must be on par with those of senior soldiers: not only should he be proficient in his major, but he should also further master new and expanded majors. For him, this is a necessary path to "regenerate combat power and reserve capabilities", and it also means that he must reorganize his equipment before starting. From a skilled worker in one's field to a beginner in expanding one's field, ability generation is not something that can be achieved overnight. For the first time in expanding professional positions to assist in assembling batteries, although I learned a lot of theory, in the practical stage, Chang Fengqiang's electrolyte was either too much to overflow or too little to be effective. "Making mistakes is expected, and I also take the opportunity to practice and see how much I am lacking." In order to graduate and enter the role as soon as possible, he repeatedly pondered and researched operations such as fuel refueling, performance testing, and component debugging in his expanded major, and sought advice from experienced comrades. In just three months, he has mastered the basic skills of the profession. Now, Chang Fengqiang has successfully passed the theoretical and practical assessments of two majors, and his ability and quality have shifted to being versatile in multiple positions. In a certain training session, the pressure to expand the professional guarantee was high, and a large number of battery liquid injections needed to be completed in a short period of time, otherwise it may affect the delivery time. After completing the professional support, Chang Fengqiang immediately went to the operation room and assisted with another reserve senior sergeant in liquid injection. With the joint efforts of the officers and soldiers, the task was ultimately completed on time. If Chang Fengqiang's ability to transcend is a roadmap of "one specialization and multiple abilities," other reserve senior soldiers also have their own "customized routes.". In the document issued by the Navy of the Eastern Theater Command, the reporter saw the following sentence: "Each unit should scientifically develop training plans based on the quality of reserve senior soldiers." Therefore, according to the professional strengths and personal preferences of each soldier, each unit tailored different roadmaps such as "ability upgrading" and "filling gaps" for them. "The roadmap is countless, and the common direction is to cultivate a capable and reliable sergeant talent." In the view of a leader at a naval office in the Eastern Theater Command, the transcripts referred to during the selection process are not the "completion time", and these rich and diverse roadmaps are the "ongoing time" for talent cultivation. The leader of a certain destroyer detachment told reporters that they not only designed a dedicated roadmap for reserve senior soldiers, but also regularly checked the achievement of their phased goals and adjusted their growth plans in a timely manner. To guide the way, it is more important to set up a platform, and to lift up a horse, it is more important to send off a journey. A certain aviation division actively builds a platform to let officers and soldiers play the leading role and shoulder heavy responsibilities, and reserve senior sergeant Yang Hao is the beneficiary of this mechanism. After undergoing adjustments in the first two years, the models guaranteed by Yang Hao have changed, which has put forward new requirements for his ability and quality. Faced with vastly different weapons and equipment, as well as systems he had never encountered before, his once proficient professional skills suddenly became ineffective. "Upgrading skills and optimizing abilities, we need to enable soldiers like Yang Hao, who are facing new challenges, to achieve a leap from 'having' to 'excellent' in their abilities." For this reason, Yang Hao's unit has specially formulated a business guidance plan for him - allowing experienced maintenance backbone to help and solve problems face-to-face; Allow him to participate in multiple rounds of outdoor support and rotation training for different units; Accelerate his ability generation through various tasks such as naval support, combat patrols, and live fire shooting. Following the "big framework" set by the unit, Yang Hao also set many stage goals for himself. Faced with new positions, new models, and new requirements, he is like a sapling eager to absorb nutrients, using his free time to gnaw on theoretical books, soak in repair rooms, and consult comrades... Some people jokingly advise Yang Hao, "With your 'old skills', you can completely slow down and adjust the pace." But he smiled and said, "I can't wait. It's not that I can't wait, it's that fighter jets can't wait in the air, and I can slowly grow." Wei Jisheng, a reserve senior sergeant of the Xiamen ship, can also feel this sense of urgency. Wei Jisheng's professional principles are complex and cutting-edge, which is a key factor in ensuring that torpedoes can directly hit targets in the dark deep sea. On the day he first arrived on the ship, although he was already prepared, he still felt a surge in excitement when faced with the new equipment. Until Wei Jisheng received the roadmap formulated by the unit for himself, which detailed the ability generation path for his new position. The tension and concerns in his heart suddenly dissipated, and the spirit of struggle surged out. During the day, Wei Jisheng followed the workers to understand the equipment operation process. During lunch break, he compared textbooks and drawings to learn theoretical principles. At night, he consulted college students and soldiers in the class for electronic knowledge... In less than a year, Wei Jisheng figured it out
