In order to promptly encourage and motivate new soldiers to overcome difficulties after hours of tiring and arduous training, the Phu Quoc Special Zone Women's Union (An Giang) in coordination with the Women's Union of Brigade 950 (Military Region 9) organized the "Bat Nuoc thao truong" program at Brigade 950.

Leaving behind the exercises, the training ground suddenly became an emotional field stage with many cultural exchange performances between young soldiers and cadres and members of the Phu Quoc Special Zone Women's Union, bringing a joyful atmosphere, dispelling fatigue.

Today, there are aunts, sisters, and mothers coming here to give us glasses of water, cakes, helping to alleviate my homesickness and missing loved ones.
