One day the recruit

Spring appeal began on 1 April 2011 and will last until July 15.
In the place of conscripts author came all the way from the walls of the Leningrad regional recruiting office to a military unit.

Leningrad Regional Military Commissariat, he's Leningrad Oblast assembly point on the waterfront district. Fontanka 90. Here from all parts of the area of ​​the district military commissariat departments fall before sending recruits to the army.





Almost all the staff recruiting office now civilians. They are engaged in professional psychological selection and training of recruits document before sending them to a military unit. Here at each inductee is given a prescription for a certain kind of troops.



In total, during the spring draft, Leningrad region should provide the armed forces 3500 recruits. Of these, at least 15% should be with higher education.



All of the recruits are sent to undergo a mandatory medical. inspection. It argued that the inspection is a formality. In fact, it from the category of life A-1 can be transferred to the A-2 and the recruit will not be sent to the troops, but simply take in the infantry. It happens that the Commission doubts the validity of the recruit and sends it to an additional survey. The probability of 0, 2%.



All doctors in the civilian medical commission. Half of them is constantly in the state, half drawn from local health facilities at the time of the call.





As a rule, the recruit arrives at the assembly point and decreases in a part during the day. But some of it linger on up to 3 days. For example, when sending forms to distant regions. Therefore, the assembly point for all conditions of life.



Recruitment offices are trying to send to serve the community. But as the Western military district's most populous and military units scattered throughout the country, primarily to serve the region are those who have good reasons for this (a single mother, pregnant wife, etc.).



From every part of the military recruits come buyer.



The buyer is looking to be granted the military enlistment office contingent carries with it a psychological conversation and, in the case of poor results may be asked to replace conscript.



By tradition, the last few years, all conscripts receive military uniform in the military.



On the advantages and disadvantages of the new form, there are many disputes. I was told that those who are dissatisfied with the new form, just do not know how to wear it.



Civilian clothes conscript not throw. It can be sent home at the expense of the Ministry of Defence.







Because we go to the recruiting office in a military unit in Sertolovo (Leningrad region).



In Sertolovo educational part where young soldiers over 3 months will receive the military specialty, then to continue to serve elsewhere.



As part of the new recruits immediately meets the commander and check personal belongings.



For reasons of hygiene socks replaced with leg wrappings. Winter items ammunition rent for storage.



Under the leadership ranks, recruits filled with medical books and write the first letters home. In general, writing letters home to a regular mandatory thing as Some men forget about it, but at home worried.







According to an old military tradition, conditional transfers Army Veterans experience of young recruits.







While recruits are introduced to the life of the army commanders who decide what specialty to teach. People in the tank driver who at the sniper. It depends on many factors - the civilian profession, education, psychological predispositions, etc.





That looks like the first day of such a conscript in the army.
