成都2月23日电2月22日，四川乐至县春季征兵体检现场，来自县人武部、公安局的工作人员正在提醒应征青年和家长提高防范意识，通过正规渠道应征。”
CHENGDU, Feb. 23-- Staff from the People's Armed Forces Department (PAFD) and Public Security Bureau (PSB) of Lezhi County in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province showed up at the site of the spring recruitment physical examination, reminding young people to sign up for enlistment through official channels on February 22.
“近年来参军热情持续高涨，也让很多不法分子动起了歪脑筋。”征兵政审组成员邓凯说，去年征兵期间，公安机关曾接到求助，有应征人员轻信不法分子编造的“定向分配”承诺，花费两万元让其帮忙“打点”，希望定兵时分配到期望的部队，结果连体检都未通过。兵没当成，该应征人员最终落得人财两空。
"The enthusiasm for joining the military has continued to rise in recent years, and it has also attracted many lawbreakers," said Deng Kai, a recruitment official. During the military recruitment work last year, public security authorities received reports that there had been some lawbreakers promising affirmed enlistment at targeted troops at the cost of RMB 20,000 yuan. However, the victims, who had paid the money, did not even pass the medical examination and thus ended up with nothing.
据了解，今年征兵期间，乐至县人武部协调有关部门通过广播、电视、微信公众号等平台对征兵政策、流程进行了全方位的宣传，同时发放“征兵季常见6种骗局”宣传册、剖析近年涉军诈骗案例等措施，让应征青年和家长深信“参军报国不花一分钱”，从而提高防范意识。
To reduce such fraud cases in military recruitment work this year, the Lezhi County PAFD coordinated the relevant departments to conduct comprehensive publicity on the recruitment policy and procedures through radio, TV and social media platforms. At the same time, they issued the “Six Common Scams in the Recruitment Season” brochure to analyze the military-related fraud cases in recent years. Along with some other measures, they tried to convince young people and their parents that “it does not cost any money to join the army and to serve the country,” thereby raising their awareness of the fraud prevention.
据悉，为确保公平公正，今年征兵工作刚开始时，该部选出69名监督员开展明察暗访，确保报名、体检、政审、役前集训、定兵的各个环节阳光透明。
It is learnt that the Lezhi County PAFD had selected 69 overseers to conduct open and unannounced visits to ensure transparency, fairness, and justice in all sections of military recruitment, including registration, physical examination, political review, pre-service training, and candidate selection.
