I Returned, But My Power is the Same

It was the car I was worried about. About where to set the future direction.

If it was the same as before, of course, I would have stayed in the current unit.

Because I have to use the memories and information from before the return.

But now things have changed.

Memories and information before the return were all used as much as I could.

There is no big advantage anymore.

Anyway, that's the situation.

“Some people have called me directly. Let's make a seat with Captain Choi."

“Yeah… … are you?”

“Even so. Captain Choi is also talented, but he is so famous that he must have judged that he would be of much help. If you bring Captain Choi to your unit.”

This one is very well laid out. If there are people who have called directly.

Moreover, if he is a special forces commander, his rank is at least a colonel.

You'll get on the line again.

“As Captain Choi knows, special forces are important wherever they go. As long as you go, the promotion route will open properly.”

right.

That's why I'm worrying right now.

Like Line, you can ride the promotion route properly.

That's all.

Salary, welfare, BOQ facilities, etc. can also benefit greatly.

several times more than now.

good.

It's all really good.

One thing takes

‘I have to fulfill the commander position as well.’

It's my dream to be a star.

To achieve that dream, you must fulfill all the positions of commander in advance.

This is because there may be cases where you can't take it even if you want to take it later.

You can't become a platoon commander with the rank of major, right?

He is currently serving as a platoon commander.

But the duration is not long. I keep going out because of the operation to retake Jeju Island.

Well.

This is not an easy matter to decide.

You have to think a little more deeply.

Because you can't be in the special forces and suddenly ask to be transferred to the commander position.

I think Lieutenant General Yu Gyung-pil will be able to help you if you use a bunch (?).

That doesn't make sense.

“Captain Choi, you need to think about that.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The future, the future. You know that if you want to go to a higher position in the future, you have to complete all the positions corresponding to the commander, right?”

That's exactly what I was thinking about.

I answered right away.

“Yes, I know.”

“Yeah, Special Forces is good, but think about the future and think about staying here.”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae put the papers aside and asked.

“How long has Captain Choi been in the position of platoon commander now?”

“It’s been about 10 months now.”

“About half of the dogs were involved in the operation to retake Jeju Island, right?”

"That's right."

Then he opened another document.

As if it was prepared in advance.

“Let’s see… … Soldier command ability, tactical performance ability, tactical evaluation... … It's perfect. Nothing better.”

"no. There are many shortcomings. It is also short.”

“It’s a short period, but wouldn’t it be even more amazing if it was this much? Isn't it, Lieutenant Young?"

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae looks at Lieutenant Young So-jin and asks.

Lieutenant Young Sojin answers with his hands neatly placed on his knees.

“Yeah, so I think it’s even more amazing.”

“Look, Lieutenant Young, too.”"Hahaha… … .”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae continued to say to me, who smiled awkwardly.

“Therefore, it means that this is enough to complete the position regardless of the tenure.”

“Water treatment… … Are you talking?”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae nodded his head and said.

“That’s what I say.”

And put aside the other documents showing my platoon leader's performance.

“I mean, there is one vacant company commander position right now.”

“If the position of the company commander is vacant… … .”

“Yes, Kwak Sang-gi was the 1st company commander.”

“What… … Yes."

“How about having Captain Choi sit and watch it?”

"Yes?"

As I said before, it is absolutely forbidden to respond like 'yes?' in conversations with superiors.

But now I couldn't use it if I didn't have to use it.

I… … Are you going to sit on the captain's seat?

“What are you so surprised about? My rank would be captain, and my skills would have been sufficiently verified if I just followed the paperwork, I have enough qualifications.”

“But, isn’t my executive career too short? The captain is also sweet as a wartime promotion order.”

“I have enough qualifications, but what is the importance of experience? And the captain's wartime promotion order is even more amazing. It means that you have great fighting skills. Isn't that right, Lieutenant Young?"

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae's head turns to Lieutenant Young So-jin again.

Lieutenant Young So-jin gave the same answer this time.

“Yes, I think so.”

Looking at his face, it wasn't because he was a superior.

That's really what he thinks.

“How are you, Captain Choi?”

"uh… … that is… … .”

“I don’t mean to decide right away. I mean, think about it. Special Forces is good, but for the future of Captain Choi.”

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae added with a smile.

“Captain Choi has even received the Hwarang Military Medal, so if he goes to the special forces, he will soon be promoted to a major. Then he can't even want to be a squadron commander. He is limited by his rank.”

Anyway, I was worried about that.

Listening to the words of Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae makes me even more concerned.

Of course I know.

From the point of view of Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae, it must be because he wants to leave me here.

But there is not a single word that is wrong from one to ten.

That's the part I was thinking the same way from the beginning.

A thick hand taps my shoulder.

“Think carefully while on vacation.”

“Captain Choi Do-jin. all right."

I'll have to really think about it.

Because it has to do with my future.

“Oh, and Lieutenant Young.”

“Lieutenant Young So-jin.”

“Lieutenant Young also said he did very well in this operation? He continues to engage in battles that exceed that of captains.”

“The commanders seem to have taken a good look.”

“Haha, I’m humble. But I didn't treat you well. It's just that Lieutenant Young did well. You can't just put a good look at where life comes and goes. Isn't that right, Captain Choi?"

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae's eyes flew towards me this time.

I replied coldly.

"That's right. I think Lieutenant Young Sojin's great skills have kept him engaged in such battles.”

“That’s what I mean.”

I took a peek and saw that Lieutenant Young So-jin's cheeks were flushed red.

I secretly swallowed a laugh.

“Anyway, Lieutenant Young.”

“Lieutenant Young So-jin.”

“Lieutenant Young received quite a few offers similar to Captain Choi. Regarding special forces.”

right.

Even Lieutenant Young So-jin deserves to come in.

As well as what he showed during the operation, his basic skills themselves are much higher than that of lieutenants in his class.

“So, Lieutenant Young, think seriously about it while on vacation. about what to do.”

"all right."

“Just know that I like Operation Officer Yeong So-jin of our unit.”

“Ah… … all right."

Lieutenant Colonel Na Young-tae also said a word to me.

“I think the 1st company commander’s seat would fit well if Captain Choi sat down.”

"Hahaha. Yep."

“I don’t mean to burden you, so don’t worry too much about both of them.”

big... … It sounds more like a threat than a burden.

But just by looking at his laughter, I knew it was a joke.

“Stop going out. Have a good vacation.”

"Yep. Loyalty!”

“Okay.”

The way out of the battalion's office.

Lieutenant Young So-jin said.

“Dojin, you must be very troubled.”

"Yes. But isn't that the case with the commander in chief? It’s a matter of special forces.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“Then let’s talk in depth together.”

"Huh?"

“I was going to eat. I thought it would be better than thinking about it alone if we talked together.”

“Ah, then.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin smiles and nods his head.

A fresh smile every time I see it.

“Are you going to go on vacation right away, Commander? I want to go see some soldiers.”

“No, I’ll be there for a while. I have to go see my mother-in-law.”

“Oh, is that so?”

"Huh. When I go out later, will you ride with me in my car? Our direction is similar.”

“Oh, yes, it would be nice if you could.”

"okay. I'll contact you."

"Yes."

Oh, I'll take it easy.

By the way, when I think about it, I think I should buy a car too.

bullets are thick

I have the salaries I have saved up so far, the money I sold the magic stone last time, and this time I have the reward for the Jeju Island recapture operation.

Shall we go on vacation and go see tea?

I left the building with happy thoughts.

And we went to our building.

To see the platoon members I miss.

* * *

“The platoon commander is here!”

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Inside the 1st company building.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted with applause.

I was greeted like that before, but now it's bigger.

It's deafening to the ears.

“Haha, thank you all.”

“We are more than grateful! How envious of us around us because we are with someone like the platoon leader!”

yes though.

I'm rather sorry

“You said you came early, but you came too late. You guys can't even take care of it."

"no. We know how to do it.”

“Look at the report card! Our 1st platoon ate a lot!”

"Yes! The training score is also the highest!”

A smile forms on your lips.

My heavy heart becomes lighter.

After that, we talked about various things.

I talked about the operation to retake Jeju Island, the platoon members trained, and other small stories.

“Captain, can I take a closer look at that medal?”“Wow, this is a military service medal.”

It was a bit complicated because everyone was talking about this guy and that guy, but it was fun nonetheless.

# Operation Officer: Yes! see you then!

Lieutenant Young So-jin and I decided to meet two hours later.

Lieutenant Young So-jin also seemed to be busy with whether to meet the officers of the wife-in-law, whether to meet the officers of the wife-in-law, or to check the unforeseen tasks.

Thanks to this, he was able to unwind with peace of mind.

"Babe!"

Then he met Seong Da-kyung.

Originally, we were going to meet sooner, but there was an affair between the noncommissioned officers or something.

So I didn't even see his face at the hospitality ceremony earlier.

“If you shout like that, everyone in the neighborhood will know, we’ll meet.”

"I do not know. know it or not. Well, it's been a few days since we met. I don't care if you know now."

The executive lounge inside the building.

Seong Da-kyung hurriedly opened the door and entered.

And then he runs to me and falls into my arms.

His face, buried in his chest, moves sullenly.

“Did you miss a lot?”

"of course! I thought I was dying to see you! self? Did you not want to see me?”

“I have already died once. I miss you so much.”

Seong Da-kyung pats my chest and bursts into laughter.

And he said.

“That’s right, I’m on vacation right away!”

"okay? Is it because the period is too tight?”

“I was scared. Please do something.”

“Is that okay?”

“Will it be?”

“What will it be? What if I get caught?”

“No, it won’t be photographed.”

"Why?"

“He’s the ace among sergeants after me.”

I know that.

I have never seen a sergeant who does as much as Seong Da-kyung in training or battle.

I didn't see it during the Jeju Island recapture operation, so I don't know, but where did that skill go?

but.

it's a bit weird

Before returning, I heard that Sung Da-kyung's growth slowed down after he moved to a non-commissioned officer.

It feels like it's getting faster instead of breaking.

did i hear it wrong?

“I have one thing to be proud of.”

"What?"

“But it’s a bit low compared to yourself. You're a captain, and you've been awarded the Medal of Merit."

“There is no end to comparing anything like that. Tell me, what is it?”

"that is… … I am the target of promotion to sergeant.”

up to sergeant?

It's completely different from what I heard before the return.

I guess I was really wrong.

Haha, I've been so good since I was a soldier, but there's no way I'm going to break it all of a sudden.

Of course, it's a promotion target, but it hasn't been promoted yet.

But being there is meaningful.

"Oh really? I will stick with it, unconditionally.”

“Don’t do that too much. Then you'll be heartbroken if you fall."

“Haha, okay.”

While they were chatting, the promised time with Lieutenant Young So-jin was getting closer.

I'm going to keep seeing Seong Da-kyung even after going on vacation anyway, so I'm going to break up with him.

"Babe."

"uh."

Seong Da-kyung says abruptly.

“My father and mother want to see me too. Let's eat together during this vacation."

Da-kyung Seong’s parents and… … rice?
