During the days waiting for graduation, the triplets were also "invited" by their brothers, friends, units, and media agencies to film and take photos quite a lot. Nguyen Doan Vinh confided: "Now we are filmed all the time". The three also missed the appointment with their family in the countryside for a day of reunion after finishing the course, especially to celebrate their beloved mother's birthday together in the warm atmosphere of their hometown.

Receiving the good news that their children have graduated from school and been assigned to different units, the parents and relatives of the triplets in block 2, Thanh Chuong town could not help but feel excited and proud.

Mr. Nguyen Doan Dung - father of 3 new officers said: "After 4 years of waiting, following the children's studies, now all 3 have graduated, the family is extremely excited. However, if Vinh had not made a mistake in his English score so that he could also be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, the family would have been happier."

According to Mr. Dung, when he was in high school, Vinh had the best academic performance among the three brothers, and his entrance exam score to the Information Officer School was also higher than his two brothers, but when he graduated, his results were not as expected.

“If there was no epidemic, our family would definitely be present at the Information Officer School to encourage and share joy with the children on this graduation day. However, due to the epidemic, we cannot go. At home at this time, in the joyful atmosphere, the family wants to prepare a few trays of food to invite friends and relatives to celebrate the children's graduation, but we cannot organize it. I hope that the children will promote their achievements, work well, and complete all assigned tasks" - Mr. Dung shared.
