As the only woman in the entire hall saying farewell to new recruits heading off for duty, Hoang Thanh quickly became the center of attention. Her photos and story immediately sparked buzz across social media.

Hoang Thanh has a bright face, a gentle smile, and a slim figure. Even in her simple, serious military uniform, the 24-year-old stands out effortlessly.
This beautiful daughter of Yên Bái graduated from the Primary Education program at Yên Bái Pedagogical College. While many expected her to settle into a stable teaching career working with children, her passion for military training and serving her country never faded. That’s why she decided to register for military service this year.

To follow her long-held dream, Hoang Thanh feels lucky to have her family’s full support and encouragement from friends. She shared that when she received her call-up notice, she felt both excited and nervous. Her dream of serving in the military was about to come true, but it also meant adapting to a completely new, tougher, and more disciplined environment than her previous daily life.
Still, the encouragement from her loved ones gives her the strength to keep going.
She has now officially started her initial training alongside more than 950 other young people joining military service in 2021.
