"The squad leader Zhang stayed in the team!" Not long ago, the order of a red army sergeant in the Xinjiang Military Region to postpone his service was officially announced. As the only Class I sergeant in the whole regiment to postpone his service, Zhang Faqiang became a "popular figure" in the regiment. What is Zhang Faqiang's outstanding? As a first class sergeant, how do you stand out from the rest of the sergeants and get the qualification for extension of service? In the second year of enlistment, he won the championship in the professional martial arts competition and won the third prize; As soon as he became the squad leader, he led the fleet to make the first hit in the test launch of the new equipment train, and won the third prize at the scene; Having been engaged in the mortar profession for more than ten years, he has not only brought out a group of professional talents, but also the professional team led by him has also won gold and silver in the martial arts competitions at all levels... Looking at Zhang Faqiang's resume, the answer is obvious. However, Zhang Faqiang still had no idea when he submitted the application for extension of service for such a professional expert who was recognized by everyone. In November last year, Zhang Faqiang, who was about to expire his service, had planned to extend his service. However, when sorting out the relevant materials, he suddenly realized that he only had the intermediate professional qualification certificate of his specialty - because he had been a coach of various kinds of martial arts competitions for a long time, he had no time and opportunity to participate in the study and training, and until now, he has not obtained the corresponding advanced certificate. Don't underestimate this certificate. Although the relevant policy does not explicitly mention that the senior certificate is a mandatory condition for the extension of military service, it is an "official certification" of the level of personal ability. In 2021, when the latest regulations on the extension of military service were just introduced, a key member of the regiment who failed to be elected to the third rank sergeant was able to extend his service by virtue of a senior professional qualification certificate. With such a precedent, Zhang Faqiang became more worried. Of the five sergeants who applied for the extension of service this time, two have obtained the advanced professional qualification certificate, while the number of the extension of service is only one. In this way, his advantages are not obvious. Can this Class I staff sergeant with excellent professional quality but lack of advanced professional qualification certificate "pass" smoothly? During that time, many people were sweating for Zhang Faqiang. Soon, the assessment and selection of the postponed servicemen began as scheduled, and the attitude of the regiment leaders dispelled everyone's worries. "Although the certificate is important, the ability and performance is the 'hard bar' for the extension of service. Whether a sergeant can play a full role can not be judged entirely by the level of the certificate. Only by the" hero "of the real talent and practical work can we select the talents that the army really needs to retain." The leader of the regiment said that in the initial plan formulation stage of the extension of service, a group of members of the Party Committee set up a clear guidance of "the capable". They set up a special working group based on the principle of "highlighting the actual performance of capabilities and retaining the backbone of talents", formulated regulations that meet the needs of the relevant positions of the regiment, comprehensively considered the professional level, ability quality and practical performance of several candidates for extended service, and widely listened to and collected grass-roots opinions through squatting classes, questionnaires, and symposiums. At the same time, they also made a list of small arms professionals according to the actual situation of the plateau training. After reporting to the superior for approval, the proportion of the number of postponed personnel should be appropriately increased according to the existing number of backbone personnel in each specialty, to avoid the loss of backbone leading to the shortage of professional talents and affecting the small arms
