Work and choice

Her brother was deciding whether to re-enlist in the army

12 December 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about her brother’s army re-enlistment. I noted his reduced interest in staying, a leadership change, and a choice in autumn 2026.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

How long is each term for your brother when he re-enlists?
你弟弟,每续一期是多久?
Client
Excluding the two-year mandatory service, each term used to be three years. Next year’s re-enlistment will be four years.
去掉两年义务兵,之前是每期三年, 明年再续就是四年了
I don’t know the exact dates, only that he should re-enlist in September 2026, and his current term ends at the end of August next year.
这个年份具体我不清楚,只知道2026 年9月应该续了,明年8月底到期
Zongyuan
Got it.

Geng Chen [redacted]. Born in [redacted], the noble point in his BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) chart is [redacted]. In his earlier you metal luck pillar, his military service went fairly smoothly, and a person who helps took notice of him. Now he is in bing fire luck, and there are a few things: 1. First, the leadership team will change gradually between 2025 and 2026, and they will not be as supportive of him. 2. With the fire [redacted], your brother’s own desire to stay in the army next year will not be very strong (this is also related to his relationship). 3. He will still have a choice in autumn 2026. That is, if he goes to the leadership himself and says he wants to stay, he will have a chance to re-enlist. If he does not speak up, he will basically be discharged. Even if he re-enlists this time, it will be his last term. He will definitely leave the army between 2029 and 2030.
庚辰[redacted] 八字生在[redacted]全局的贵点[redacted]。 前期走的是酉金运,当兵过程里还是 比较顺利,也有贵人看中他。现在上 丙火运,有几个事儿: 1 一个是领导班子在这两年 2025-2026年之间陆续换人了,对他 没有那么照顾了。 2 火的[redacted],你弟弟自己在明年 留在军队的意愿没有那么强烈了(这个 还和感情有)。 3 2026年的秋季还有选择权,也就是 如果他自己去找领导,提出他想要继 续,那么可以有机会再续,如果他自 己不提,基本就是转业了。这一期续 上也是最后一期了,到了2029-2030 年肯定是脱离出来了。
Client
If he leaves the army next year, he will have served eight years. The military will not assign him a job. You said he would find a good job — will he find it on his own?
他退伍的话。明年是八年。部队不会 分配工作。您说会找到不错的工作, 是自己找的吗?
Zongyuan
Yes, through his own search.
对 通过自己找
Client
What you said in the second point is true — he doesn’t really want to re-enlist. He’s dating someone and wants to get married next year [emoji]
您说的第二条确实他不是特别想续签 了,他谈了个对象,想明年就结婚[emoji]

The leadership has changed in the past couple of years, hasn’t it?

The previous leader was very good to him.

My brother has a very strong desire to get married next year. I don’t know if it’s him who wants to get married, or the woman.
