About three days in the army

59 photo. Taken from here.

1. On the territory of the Moscow region town of Elektrostal (the name, I think nedodestalinizirovano!) Legalized and launched a range of work "Elektrostal Town Center of patriotic education." Center operates already since 1988, is constantly increasing the intensity of a program of civic and patriotic education of the so-called "Youth". The "Now you're in the Army!", Gaining momentum in the last few years, it has become one of the most popular among the students of secondary schools, vocational schools and colleges of the city. With an enviable constancy Center team conducted practical implementation plans doprizyvnikov preparation for military service. At this time, the number of those wishing to 28 young men of military age on the three-for-profit to a military unit. The purpose of arrival - to give recruits a clear idea of ​​what to expect ordinary military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Presentation was necessary to consolidate practical exercises.

Every sane citizen of Russia is clear: the modern Russian army - is legalized slavery, caught stealing cheeky quartermasters, starving child soldiers, evil vampires commanders, form of Yudashkin mythical nanotechnology, one rifle for three and other intolerable ololo-horror, what the authorities prefer to hide from the people. Unable to look at all of the above just so - I went to look at all of the above reason. And after I entrusted to Japanese imperialism camera. It was possible to observe the following: three dozen guys who have expressed a desire to plunge into the atmosphere of army routine, winter morning went to the territory of the Guards missile unit deployed in the suburbs. Gate CPR for volunteers were tightly closed, and life went on as usual for the army routine.

4. Arriving at the location, potential soldiers started to obtain the basic necessities for the coming days: uniforms, shoes and bed linen. Constant attempts to bring down in a heap, and knock pogaldet were skillfully prevented instructor team. This team of instructors and fellow sergeants looked after for a while, and regulate all the processes in the team. The boys lined up, in turn received a set of uniforms, jacket, belt, tarpaulin boots and warm winter foot bindings. On foot bindings, of course, few people faced in practice.

6. Because specially assigned to the "replenishment" Comrade Guard sergeant immediately held a demonstration lesson on winding footcloths, explained what and where it is best to fix where prioslabit, and where and tighten. Still repeated three times, and very dull demonstrated sensitive military equipment winding individually. Many started to turn. In order not conceited or skived his legs for joy, all the men were instructed to rewind footcloths at every opportunity.

8. Disguised, doprizyvnikov huddled together, looked at each other, twitching of the sleeve and having fun. Shapeless mass undergone some significant change, and this has caused a sharp surge of interest in his own exterior. The military form sits on all the people in very different ways. In particular look - as if ten years it did not take off! Tightened the strap folds straightened, straightened - well, a miracle-hero! But not everyone is so lucky. A number of soldiers began, as expected, to inspire fear one appearance. For such was the replacement of individual elements of the military decoration and the picture has improved slightly.

23. The next step - drill. A small parade proceeded along and across. Story keep the habit impossible. Brand new boots on snow-covered pavement Dubas, who left foot marches, who is right. Seasoned sergeants pert comment was happening. Some young men go into the army is not recommended at all, say, in the ranks are like riding a bike, right foot on the left can not distinguish! Would a normal person is pleasant to listen to yourself? Unpleasant. Not to listen to - started to go "up". We came for lunch.

27. In the soldiers' canteen soldiers were given spoons in a row, how many personnel - so many spoons. Ate - spoon again on the same hand over the account. Annexed to the spoon tray gradually filled a bowl of soup, a plate of lettuce with three thin slices of bacon the size of a matchbox each, chopped onions, a plate of beef stew with a thick porridge and a glass of fruit juice. Gobble up all of the above in one sitting and without vodka proved complicated. Food typical of such an army - not the most delicious of those that had otvedyvat but very nazhoristaya. In the evening, I asked the sergeants, saying, always fed. Command monitors. Grubs are satisfied. Note it was exactly one: the potatoes as usual gave a little. Just consider, in the soup. From the familiar to every soldier adversity in the form of constant hunger and desire to sleep first and managed to overcome at the root.
