Ending a year with many sea trips to carry out missions in the ocean, officers and sailors of Brigade 189 are very proud of their achievements in combat readiness training and mission performance.

Unlike other units in the entire army, as an elite special unit, in order to meet mission requirements, submarine officers and sailors must always maintain training 12/12 months a year. Therefore, the intensity and pressure of work is very high.

With the motto: "Welcoming the New Year safely, joyfully, economically, and with high combat readiness", the Party Committee and Command of the 189th Navy Submarine Brigade have deployed agencies and units to carry out all preparations for the New Year from around the middle of the 12th lunar month, ensuring that submarine officers and sailors have a New Year with full flavors according to the traditional customs of the nation such as: Organizing a contest to decorate rooms to welcome the New Year, Spring Wall Newspaper; Green Banh Chung Contest; Contest to preserve and maintain ships to welcome the New Year of the Dragon...

Docking in the days before Tet, all soldiers immediately began preparing for the spring. Tet for submarine sailors is a Tet that brings together the cultures of the three regions of the country: bright yellow apricot blossoms, lush green banh tet of the South, green banh chung, bright red peach blossoms of the North and bright yellow chrysanthemums of the Central region. These colors make the camaraderie and team spirit even warmer.

Due to the requirements of the mission, most of the officers and soldiers have to celebrate Tet far from their families, and can only send greetings and New Year wishes to their families, wives and children via phone calls and video calls. Therefore, the Party Committee and the Brigade Command have paid special attention to and paid good attention to the work of educating and motivating the ideology, building a strong character, self-awareness and sense of responsibility for the officers and sailors. Therefore, during Tet, all officers and sailors are mentally secure, proactive, enthusiastic, responsible, ready to receive and successfully complete all assigned tasks, especially the task of combat readiness.

Tet of the marines on Cam Ranh peninsula in general and of the submarine sailors in particular is like that, not only the love of the sea and islands, love of the ship but also the aspiration for the peace of the Fatherland...
