It is UNCONDITIONAL that the army in the list of life values \u200b\u200bof today's teenagers is somewhere deep below, leaving the top places for girls, "liquor", discos and other "bells and whistles". But suppose that you still did not succeed in kowtowing, and you are shining with kirzach, outfits, physo, drill and other joys of soldier's service. What to do?
AT MY "farewell benefit" I do not advise future soldiers to "bite to the point of disgrace" - drink exactly as much as you have enough to stay on your feet. You won't be able to get enough sleep on your last night at home. True, it would be very nice to take a nap for an hour or two, because you will probably have tiring transfers, transfers and waiting.
When leaving for the service, you should not dress well. Put your levis sweaters, diesel and other outfits in the closet, mentally say goodbye to them before your return and choose something simpler for yourself. Because your things, despite the assurances of officers and warrant officers, will not find their way back home. You should not take a solid electric razor or a full set of toiletry-cosmetic-writing utensils with you; limit yourself to a simple machine with a pack of blades, a bar of soap, a tube of paste with a brush, a comb, a pen with a notebook and a couple of envelopes (parents and friends in their letters to you will send envelopes). This is already in the process of your service, having matured and matured, you can ask your parents to at least send you a fax with a copier.
There must also be a spoon and a few needles with thread - this is in short supply in many parts. Shoe brushes and wax (the cream is still too greasy for you!) Are found in parts in abundance.
When you arrive at the unit, try to find more friends. Find a fellow countryman from the soldiers of the older draft - this will be some kind of protection and patronage for you. You should not immediately boast of your achievements and talents. If they find out that you were a good sprinter or a guitarist in civilian life, then you will be forced to beat the records of Vienna Johnson and Carl Lewis, or to please the ears of the "grandfathers" all night long. So it is simply unprofitable for you to "ask for trouble". Write immediately to family and friends. In general, letters from home are a huge psychological support and a breath of fresh air. The young soldier lives on this. Write more often, but do not tell anything bad to your family - both for them and for you it will not be the best option.
If you really feel unbearable, do not rush to extremes or run and "knock" the officers. This will be, perhaps, the biggest mistake in your life, and you will only aggravate your service and make your further stay in the part impossible.
Usually, the army never touches a person with dignity, who has not tarnished his honor (no matter how trite it may sound). Some of the so-called "chmoshniks" do not stand up and willfully leave some of them - they did not differ in dignity even in civilian life, they could not stand up for themselves and were always hiding behind other people's backs.
First time of service
The MOST important thing during the first period of service is to figure out what's what. And to figure it out the faster, the better, that is, to feel the atmosphere of a soldier's life, its spirit. And then in your address there will be less cursing and offensive words like "brake", "handbrake", etc. And if among the "pack" there are the same "spirits" like yourself, stupefied from the first days of being in the army you will be elected as a "messenger" for cigarettes, vodka or something from food to the store that is located behind the fence of the part, then you can safely read into your asset the first prize point - this is at least a small, but important victory for you: they trust you and noticed that although a little, but you differ in intelligence and ingenuity from the rest. And in no case should you think that you have been entrusted with this important function, because you have become a "ass on duty" or a sneak. No, this is a misconception. At the end of the day, all "spirits" usually go through this, but not everyone can handle it. The only thing left to do is not to "fly in" on this mission.
You should not "die" when they decided to check you - they forced you to do push-ups from the floor, etc. - endure the blow firmly (to be honest, in most cases they do not differ in strength) or calmly push up, as much as required of you. If you can't, do as much as you can.
It is not bad to study the character of the "grandfathers" - sometimes be rude to the weak-willed or "get rid of" the assigned task (you also need to gradually gain courage and impudence). Control yourself in everything, check whether everything is in place - because you will have trouble with some torn button.
If you notice something wrong with a friend, tell him about it. Sitting in the Lenin's room studying the statutes, do not suffer and do not think about what is left in civilian life - try to thoroughly study all these books, and you will have less problems with boring questions during instructions and divorces. And the learned charter is your legal protection.
A special conversation is soldering. In the army, they eat and want to eat everything - from skinny ders to overweight demobilization. You should not show that you are hungry, like the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad, you should not tearfully beg for supplements and say that there is a breeze in your stomach. The army does not like the so-called "shortfalls". You will still have to learn the art of quickly absorbing food.
I would like to say more about the officers. As you know, there are no completely identical people - just as there are no completely identical officers and warrant officers. Although they all have one thing in common. No wonder one general said: "Why are you making such an intelligent face? You are an officer!" Try to learn their names, titles, positions, and character as quickly as possible. Knowing the character of an officer, you can easily manipulate his feelings, play on them. For example, knowing the lousy character of the noisy and eternally dying foreman, you ask not him, but the "green" platoon commander to take you to the post office to call home. And the last thing. I do not advise you to argue with officers and ensigns, for, as you know, they are always right.
How to negotiate with "Grandfathers"
1. A victim is chosen among the grandfathers, and the candidate for treatment must be the most frostbitten. These are hard to break, but forever.
2. Make an appointment in advance with the orderly, who stands on the bedside table at 3-4 o'clock in the morning, to wake you up. You get up, dress, pick up a couple of trusted friends. You send the orderly quietly (according to all rules :)) to awaken the victim to tell him that land has come to him from the neighboring part on urgent business, whores from the city, etc. (as appropriate) and that they are waiting for him in the smoking-room, behind a cubicle on the street (optional).
3. There is a dense beating of the body there, and it is possible with legs.
4. The most important stage: the moment of truth. Here it is necessary to approach this process creatively. The main thing is to break the will of the frostbite. There are not enough methods. But be sure to break. He will not knock. For this, his grandfathers will be killed.
5. Send him to sleep. Do not sleep ourselves. Control the sleeping area.
In the morning, one less bastard will become silk. With the grandfathers, he can and will shit, but politely. And he will forget about opening his hands. Here is one more thing - never remind him of that Bartholomew night. At every opportunity he will say to his grandfathers like: "Yes to hell with them, these young ... demobilization soon ... suddenly disbat?" The main thing is to sow confusion in the ranks of bastards.
And with skulls it is necessary to fight an appeal to an appeal, having previously slapped the most zealous at every opportunity. Elderly servants usually do not interfere in such disassembly - they are by reason, and grandfather's show-off does not allow to descend from Olympus to the shabby spirit-cherepovskaya land. :)
Our call ahead of time was transferred to the skull, and the skulls were transferred back to the spirits. Their hazing was not very grandfather's.
In the original foreword (ARMY.TXT) it was mentioned about the "education" of weak peers by their own invitation ... This should not be done in any case. In this case, you are like a six, a mongrel barking according to the owner's picture. We must stick together and support the weak children. They are still weak and weak-willed.
You will not have a more reliable and reliable comrade if you first give him a helping hand. You have to find the right word and be kindly condescending. Such weaklings with the appropriate disposition
2. Besides the fact that you must be neat, you must not forget about the cleanliness in the barracks. After all, this is your home for the duration of the service and you need to treat cleaning responsibly. There should always be order in your locker and next to the bed. Do not forget that this is also being followed.
3. And, of course, the second and most important rule is not to mow. After all, the army is taught to do everything collectively. If someone does not follow the order, everyone will be punished. Do everything correctly and colleagues will not look askance at you and dislike you.
4. Follow all orders and assignments of senior officials. Do not try to piss off the elder, or start arguing with him. And even more so to be rude. You cannot prove anything, but the punishment is quite real.
5. Respect yourself first. In the army, everyone has a hard time, and no one will treat you like at home. Therefore, without good self-esteem, it will be difficult for you. You do not respect yourself, and others will not respect you. However, don't put yourself above everyone else. Leaders are often disliked. Therefore, be on a par with everyone, and due to this, it will be easier for you to join the team and make friends.
6. Learn to help, share and refuse at the right time. In the army, you need to live together. Share everything you have, and then share with you. Help when you really need it. However, if someone is trying to sit on your neck or survive at the expense of you, stop all attempts.
7. Of course, in the army you need physical training. If you don't have it at all, then it's time to remember. Learn to do at least basic things before the army - pull-ups, push-ups. Believe me, then it will be easier for you to adapt and get used to.
8. If you have a sense of humor and a positive attitude, then this is already a plus. Jokers are always the center of attention just because they dilute the gray everyday life with laughter. But do not forget that you have to choose who to joke with. After all, it's one thing to joke with a colleague, and another thing with an officer.
9. You should not complain to your parents or friends about what is happening in your unit. Relatives will not be able to do anything, and will worry, but hearing your conversation in part, you can harm yourself. If you write letters, then remember that they can be checked and read, so do not write what may harm you.
10. If suddenly in your unit "hazing" do not follow their orders and do not complain to relatives. It is best to immediately contact the military prosecutor's office. Hazing will stop, but be correct in your reasoning. If an unreasonable action was really received in your address, then the case will be considered, but if nothing serious happened, then again this may not play into your hands.
Many of those who are only going to experience all the hardships and hardships of military service have no idea what awaits them. In anticipation, they simulate situations that they can get into on the first day of the service, winding themselves up and experiencing unnecessary excitement. To put aside all negative thoughts and understand how to behave in the army in the early days of service, you just need to read this article.
Correct attitude to service
An important psychological factor for a new recruit is the right attitude to the service. If there is anything to be done in the army on the first day, it is to discard all negative thoughts. It is worth considering that there is nowhere to get away from the service, and there is nothing left to do but simply take it for granted. You need to understand that this stage of life is often a turning point, making a real man out of a simple boy. Therefore, immediately set yourself up to overcome the maximum number of difficulties that may arise. As the proverb says: "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst." With the right attitude, even the most difficult situation will seem like a mere trifle.
How to communicate with others
On the first day of service, newly arrived recruits are distributed among platoons and companies, thus forming new teams. Each person has his own character and is accustomed to the amenities that previously surrounded him in civilian life. In this regard, conflicts between soldiers often arise in newly created collectives. Someone creates conflict situations wishing to assert themselves, and someone is simply enraged by the new situation. Remember, you should not make enemies for yourself in the first days, since in such a team you will have to go through the entire period of service and go through many difficulties.
You can talk to an officer about all problems in the armyDon't be greedy!
For almost all recruits, parents collect large bags of food, so that they will have enough at least for the first time, before the body gets used to the army food. Arriving at the department, there is no need to save or hide products.
- Firstly, all perishable food that you brought with you will be seized on the first day, this is done to prevent intestinal diseases that recruits can catch from spoiled food.
- Secondly, those who hide and eat everything alone do not enjoy the respect of the collective and will remember this act until the end of the service.
Don't give in to provocations
Upon arrival at the service and after the loss of all the delights of civilian life, the positive mood of most of the soldiers disappears somewhere, and some even fall into depression. Because of this, someone may provoke you into conflicts and skirmishes, however, you should not be on them. There is also a certain period of "grinding" when the soldiers get used to each other, studying the characteristics of the character. Whatever mood you have, you should not be led on provocations, since it is better to hold back your ego than to receive disciplinary action for a fight or manifestation of other hazing, leaving a stigma in your personal file for the entire period of service.
What is advisable not to think about
The sooner you ask this question, the better, as negative thoughts have a very negative effect on the overall well-being of the recruit. Understand that now you start a new life for at least a year, and everything that was before is left in civilian life.
The most common problem among newly arrived soldiers is homesickness. There is no getting away from this, you will have to forget about home comforts for a while, this should be understood on the very first day and try not to think about it anymore.
The second most important negative thought is longing for your girlfriend (if you were in a relationship), who promised to wait correctly. Do not worry. From such a long separation, you can learn a lot of useful things, since any relationship should be tested by time. If a girl really deserves you and truly loves you, then she will definitely wait. Otherwise, such a relationship was doomed to failure even without an army.
In short, do not spoil your mood with bad thoughts.
How to stay in a new team
As a new recruit will prove himself in the team from the very beginning, so he will be treated throughout the entire period of service. You do not need to withdraw into yourself and avoid dialogue with your comrades, as this kind of behavior often disturbs other military personnel. IN first day in the army to behave defiantly also not worth it. For every stubborn soldier, there is an even more stubborn one. Therefore, it is best to remain yourself and behave naturally. And by the way, even if a young soldier decides to hide some of his qualities, over time they will be revealed. This is a feature of the army - here you can see through the person, since no one is able to play a role for 365 days.
The appearance of a soldier
From the first days, officers and senior comrades will let you know that a neat soldier is an integral part of military discipline. The soldier must always be clean-shaven, neatly trimmed, and the shoes must be shiny. The uniform of a soldier must be ironed and washed without fail, since soldiers, from whom they smell unpleasant, do not enjoy respect among their comrades. Keep in mind that the habit of looking after your appearance will be useful to you in civilian life.
Code of Conduct in Conflict Situations
If you still could not avoid a conflict situation, then behave with dignity, not succumbing to unnecessary emotions. Remember, fists are the last thing, and almost any conflict can be resolved with words. As a rule, most conflicts at the initial stages of service can occur literally from scratch, so it is better to think about the future relationship with a person than to burn all the bridges by insulting him greatly.
Hazing in the army
Every year, the manifestations of the so-called hazing are becoming less and less, this is due to the service life and general trends. For example, now you can call the military prosecutor's office from a mobile phone and the punishment will instantly overtake the so-called "grandfather". Of course, in some units there are military personnel who practice these negative traditions (we can judge about this from the news that immediately fill the Internet and information space), but such individuals are few and often sent to the places from which hazing came to the army. Respect for more experienced military personnel is now more practiced. From childhood we were taught that elders should be respected, in this case everything is the same. The main thing is to understand the difference in the concepts of "respect" and "sycophancy" and clearly distinguish between them. If you were wrong about something, it is better to admit it and then do it the right way, because otherwise the senior staff may remember you for a long time, constantly sticking "sticks in the wheels."
Solve problems as they arise
Every day a soldier may have problems that in no case should be kept to himself. If you can't handle something, share it with a coworker, officer, or even a psychologist. Remember, any problem can be solved, so don't put it off until later. Understand everything in a timely manner, and there will be no problems in the future.
Letting her son go to the army, each mother or girl will be very worried. There is no need to convey unnecessary negative emotions to the new recruit, which he already has enough. Support him as much as you can, and remember that by releasing a boy into the army, in a year you will meet a real man. Be sure to ask for the telephone number of the unit commander (not the unit) so that you can call him in case of anything. Also, you can take the phone number personally during the oath.
IMPORTANT! If you have the commander's number, then you don't need to call him every week or, even worse, every day! You have this number for any emergency or if your son does not get in touch for a month.
The father must definitely choose the right parting words to give his son confidence.
Based on all this, we can conclude that you should not be afraid of serving in the army. Everyone who has gone through this speaks of these times very positively. Remain yourself and luck will smile on you.
A few weeks after being drafted, each soldier is sworn in. You can read more about this event in the articles on our website
Hey. Today is again a rather unusual post. About the army. I want to immediately tell all those who have served or will serve, everything can be completely different. Article how to survive in the army I write exclusively on the example of my service.
So, having got into the army, you are, as it were, no one in the first 2 weeks. Until you take the oath, you are taking the Young Fighter Course (KMB). Here you are being prepared for military service.
There are a lot of fellow countrymen at the KMB. With whom you were called from the military registration and enlistment office at the KMB will be with you. This is a huge plus. Someone was already on the train "sorefan", someone was even already familiar.
There are 2 types of barracks: general (which we are used to seeing on TV), where everyone sleeps in one large room, and divided into "cubicles" (a cubicle is when soldiers live in rooms from 4 to 12 people on average). That is, it can be compared to a hostel.
I was lucky, we ended up in a part where there is a division into cockpits. Every year there are fewer and fewer barracks of "general type" in the country. Because of this, there is a division into "groupings". That is, those who live in one "cubicle" are usually friends.
In general, if you are a squeezed person, then it will be difficult for you in the army. You need to be liberated, to be friends with someone. At the KMB you will not see "grandfathers", only sergeants and officers who are persistently preparing you for the army.
At first, it was hard: dressing with lightning speed, playing "retreat" - "rise". That is, after the command to rebound, everyone should be in bed very quickly, and on command, the rise should be lined up. It takes about 1.5 minutes to get dressed (earlier, when there were tarpaulin boots (without laces), and not ankle boots, it was around 45 seconds). If someone did not have time, then retreat and rise again. As the saying goes "blunt in the company, the whole company is in sweat" :).
In general, in the army they study collectively. One screwed up, everyone answers. Your main task: do not mow... I remember one went to the Chips without permission, because of him we didn't see Chips for almost a whole week. I don't care, but so many of his comrades looked at him wryly.
Therefore, there is no need to "mow". Let's take a morning check. It is made every day: the cleanliness of the ankle boots, haircut, shaving, cleanliness of the hem and the presence of edging are checked (behind the hair near the neck should be even). And that's it! But, damn it, some manage to not even trace these elementary things. By doing these basic things as expected, you will get rid of unnecessary unnecessary attention to yourself.
What was remembered in the early days is calluses... While the ankle boots are new, the mazoli are rubbed with creepy ones. Many had blood smears. Okay, at least KMBs were allowed to walk on the parade ground in slippers. I didn't want to join the "slipper troops", I found another way out: over my socks (in some parts there are still footcloths) I wrapped a handkerchief or a piece of cloth where there was pain. Oddly enough, the mazoli began to heal. We tried to "beat off" the ankle boots with a hammer and other heavy objects, but this did not help. And yes, it is better to take ankle boots one size larger than in the butt, otherwise wear thick socks in winter.
How to behave at KMB? With understanding. It's hard to learn, easy to fight. And the commander at the KMB was like the first teacher at school for me.
Even at the KMB I understood the main rule in the army:need to be bolder ... Here, like nowhere else, you need to be able to say "No". And then they will crawl on the neck. It is necessary at the time to "send" whoever is needed, but, but the most important thing is to stick together... Together with comrades, support each other.
It was also rather unusual to eat quickly in the dining room. Someone did not have time and I saw the following picture: a salad is thrown into the soup, a second and a side dish, and all this megakash is quickly eaten up.
Well, after the KMB, the most interesting begins: "grandfathers", other officers, etc. Well, I'll tell you about this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
In order not to miss anything (I'll tell you some little soldiers' secrets), subscribe to RSS, or just go to :) on Saturday evening or Sunday.
To be continued...
For some, receiving a summons from the military registration and enlistment office is a joyous event, while others see military service in a negative light. But both of them tend to experience some stress before being sent to the service. And this is not surprising, because young people can have a lot of all kinds of questions. How to position yourself correctly, how to behave with "grandfathers" in the army, what can be done and what can not be done? The period during which young guys will learn to defend their homeland, they want to live with dignity. And, of course, everyone wants to avoid various problems that a new recruit may face in the army.
This material has been prepared on the basis of the generalized experience of many generations of men who served in the army. Also here you will find some tips from psychologists to help the new recruit get in the right mindset. So, what can you do in the first months of military service, and how to behave is undesirable? Let's start with recommendations for psychological adjustment.
What you shouldn't think about
Before looking for an answer to the question of how to behave in the army, first of all, you need to understand one important thing: the correct psychological attitude will help to avoid many problems. When going to serve in the army, try to yearn for home as little as possible. Thoughts like “Now relatives have sat down to breakfast at home, soon my father will go to work, and my sister will go to school” should be put out of my head. Such reflections can only spoil the mood, but if you think about it constantly, you risk becoming more vulnerable both psychologically and physically.
This attitude of yours will sooner or later become noticeable to others. Co-workers and officers will pay attention to your emotions and consider you a weakling, and this is usually where all problems begin.
Correct attitude
Have you practically stopped thinking about home longingly and do not remember your last day in civilian life? Wonderful! But how do you feel about the army itself? The question of how to behave in the army can be answered as follows: take your service seriously and responsibly. In no case should you think that serving in the army is a waste of time. You should not treat this gloomily and with disdain. Lift! Commands or "Hang up!" should be taken for granted and not reasoned as if this whole daily routine makes no sense.
It is not so easy in the army as in civilian life, but you didn’t come here to rest. The army is a great way for self-improvement, it is a unique school of life. Imagine coming home as adults, stronger and better. Set goals for yourself to achieve certain results and follow them. People around you will notice your determination and will definitely appreciate it.
How to talk
So, you have already tuned in to a positive mood, but still do not understand how to behave in the army - the first days of service are generally the most difficult. One of the recommendations that can be given in this regard concerns the correct formulation of speech. In the army, you should never mumble to yourself. Speak clearly and legibly, so that your interlocutor understands you the first time, do not force people to ask and clarify again. Moreover, slurred speech will be perceived as a sign of your weakness, indecision. People are judged not by their words, but by their deeds, but the manner of speaking and expressing one's thoughts clearly also means a lot.
Everything is simple here - you need to look decent. When talking, never lower your eyes or your head, because only potential victims behave this way. Try to look the other person in the eye, only occasionally averting your gaze to the side. Be neat and clean-shaven, don't slouch. Make sure your military uniform is clean and slick. Senior servicemen, warrant officers and even officers will notice your efforts, and will also appreciate your ability to do everything and always be in time.
How to behave in the army so as not to seem like a sucker? A man should look courageous and dignified in any setting. Especially in the army. Posture is even, the look expresses calmness and confidence, no fuss. A man who behaves accordingly inspires trust and is treated with great respect.
How to stay in a new team
How to behave in the army as a recruit in the first days of service, how to join a new team and get to know people? It should be noted right away that withdrawn people are treated with distrust and apprehension, one might even say that they are not liked. Therefore, be open, make contact. Of course, everything needs to know when to stop, you don't have to be too intrusive, otherwise you risk earning yourself a reputation as a sneak or six.
Do not rely too much on the fact that colleagues themselves will reach out to you. Look around, see what your comrades are doing, offer someone a cigarette or gum. Even if the person refuses, the dialogue has already begun. If you have any talents, for example, you know how to play the guitar - feel free to use these skills to your advantage, because creative people in the army are treated in a special way. Try to establish yourself as a good and reliable companion.
Code of conduct in a conflict situation
Many young guys who are soon going to go to serve are interested in how to behave in the army so as not to get into conflict situations. All of the above recommendations will certainly help to avoid various troubles, but it is worth understanding that conflicts cannot be completely avoided. They can arise for various reasons, so it is important to know in advance how to behave in such cases.
Again, mental attitude is especially important here. Many conflicts begin with banal emotional provocations, then everything may depend on your behavior, on how you will react to them. Try not to get irritated, not nervous, do not show your confusion and fear. Even if you can stand up for yourself, you still don't need to use your fists every time. Only cold calculation will help you keep the situation under control.
Solve problems on time
It so happens that the experiences associated with hardships and deprivation of service, accumulating, begin to put pressure on the psyche, from which stay in the army becomes unbearable. But how to behave in the army if you have certain problems, who to turn to for advice, and who can you complain to? And is it worth it? You do not need to keep everything to yourself, but in no case should you allow the accumulation of problems, try to resolve them as they arise. Finally, talk to someone - be it a coworker, commander, or psychologist.
Hazing in the army
Many stories have been told about hazing in the army, you have probably heard from your childhood about the formidable "grandfathers" who mock recruits. Nevertheless, they are the same soldiers, except that they are in the army longer than you. So how to behave in the army in the early days with grandfathers in order to earn their favor and not become a scapegoat? Follow all of the above recommendations, try to make sure that there is nothing to complain about. Of course, senior citizens have their own somewhat specific methods of education.
Watch your appearance, conscientiously fulfill your duties and assignments given to you, do not be a rogue and do not complain unless absolutely necessary - and then no one should have reasons to mock you. Treat "grandfathers" with respect, but do not let yourself be humiliated. In the event that you are guilty, you still will not be able to avoid punishment, but if the claims made against you are unfounded, do not lose your dignity. Do not make mistakes, for which you will have to pay for a long time later.
It is good if a male relative tells a young man about army life. Father, grandfather, brother or uncle - one of them will definitely be able to give good advice to a guy who is about to go to the army to serve military service. Perhaps they had already talked about their service before, but now they should have talked in more detail about how to behave in the army as a recruit.
In the first months of a young man's service in the army, it will not be superfluous to protect him from all kinds of bad news from home, from a citizen. The guy already has a hard time, because he has to endure the hardships and deprivations of military service. There is no need to upset him once again. Good news from home will raise the spirit of the new recruit. Confident that everything is fine at home, he will be able to focus on his service and his duties, and will not make mistakes that can pretty much ruin his life.
Conclusion
The army is a school of life. It seems that some of its own laws and rules apply here, but in reality this is not entirely true. In the army, as elsewhere, they value cleanliness, decency, honesty, masculinity, diligence and responsibility. This article has listed the main answers to the question of how to behave in the army. We hope they will help you serve with dignity!
