Contract workers do not survive the “school of survival.” What survival courses will a contract soldier have to take in the Russian Armed Forces? List of locations for contract survival schools

A heated debate has flared up in the press and on the Internet regarding the innovation of the domestic Armed Forces - “survival courses”. Some call them “humiliating” and “illegal”, some say that “women terminators will serve in the army”, some say that it’s all fiction, and some say it’s idiocy. Some of the negativity expressed about a completely sensible innovation is probably justified. But first things first.

What we call “survival courses” are six-week sessions of intensive combined arms combat training. Now they will become mandatory for all contract soldiers and sergeants, both those entering service and those who have been serving for a long time. This applies not only to military personnel of units who must directly lead fighting“in the field” (motorized infantry, airborne forces, MP, etc.), but also all specialists of the Armed Forces, not excluding technical specialists and female military personnel. Failure to complete the course or failure of the examination part may become grounds for contract soldiers to be dismissed from the Armed Forces as not meeting the requirements for professional military personnel.

Actually, this is what happens. The head of the press service of the Eastern Military District recently announced that based on the results of the second series of these courses, another 350 military personnel will be dismissed. In the Southern Military District this summer, almost a thousand military personnel did not complete the course. What’s interesting is that a number of them wrote reports refusing to take part in the training camp even before it began, and some were eliminated at the medical examination. That is, not everyone left the training camp early, unable to withstand its severity.

Now to the courses themselves. This is truly combined arms training, which, it would seem, is not directly related to representatives of the Air Force, Air Defense (Aerospace Defense), communications, Navy, and technical and operational units. The intensity of the course and the load on those taking it are really very high. Although this, of course, depends on the conditions of the specific training unit. But in general, the course is universal for all training centers. It includes very intense physical training and no less intense combat training: fire, tactical, medical, engineering, chemical warfare, etc., which is carried out both as training and with passing standards. The course is accompanied by numerous “field trips” - to training grounds. And it ends with a long march (about 50 km) in conditions as close as possible to combat (as far as possible in training). Food - dry rations, stealth march and camouflage, setting up a field camp, guarding and actions against the “survivors” - “training sabotage groups”, practical training in the tactics of small units, physical fatigue and the absence of a stall around the corner - everything is like in American films, but - for "G.I. Jane". Well, final exams in physical training and combat disciplines.

In general, there is nothing beyond the general combat training of the ground forces, with the exception of high intensity training and the real consequences of failure to pass the standards. The standards themselves take into account five age categories. The course for women has minor differences, but overall it is quite passable. For example, in the Eastern Military District, out of 1.5 thousand “surviving” ladies, including those of the so-called “extra age limit”, only five dropped out early. In essence, this is a course for a young soldier, only put at a qualitatively high level and does not include drill training and internal service - this is enough in units - pure combat training with high intensity training. Actually, “survival” should include some everyday restrictions on “exits”, physical activity, and sad prospects in case of training that does not meet the requirements of the Armed Forces. That is, everything that usually serves as an excuse for low level general combat training in some units - discrepancy between personalities. composition of the “ideal”, objective difficulties, the “complexity” of training in a specialty, leaving no time for general training, etc. - are simply not taken into account here.

Do military personnel of “non-combat” units (sailors, signalmen, technicians, etc.) need this? In my understanding - yes.

Firstly, since there cannot be “non-combat” units, and real combat operations may require a soldier of any specialty and gender to act while lying in the mud with a machine gun, and not pressing buttons or turning a steering wheel and a wrench. And poor preparation and complexity of specialization, as well as age and health status, in such a situation will not become an excuse to the enemy. To consider such a situation unlikely means to “serve your service,” and not to prepare for war, for which any military man studies in peacetime.

Secondly, since the requirements for suitability for service in any unit presuppose a certain physical fitness and the absence of health contraindications. And also the readiness to defend the Motherland not only in one’s specialty, but also to “steadfastly and courageously endure all hardships and hardships.” military service“, since the service itself presupposes these hardships and deprivations.

Thirdly, since the advantage of voluntary manning of the armed forces over compulsory recruitment presupposes a qualitative difference in the level of training and professionalism. Certainly, main reason increasing the share of contract soldiers is the difficulty of mastering modern military equipment. Training a professional is difficult during conscription service. Rotation in the unit of those being transferred to the reserve and young conscripts makes general level training is “average”, and combat readiness is insufficient. However, a professional who receives a salary for his knowledge and skills and comes on duty as if it were a job, must remain a military man, and not just an employee.

He must understand that he has chosen a profession associated with the risk of life and the willingness to sacrifice his life not for a salary, but for the Motherland - this is the only thing that distinguishes a military profession from any civilian one. A salary only provides a decent standard of living for someone who is ready to give their life. And if the person signing the contract does not understand this and considers the service to be just a good job option, it means that he chose the job wrong. Therefore, I am embarrassed to listen to some who are preparing to “survive” talking about the idiocy and pointlessness of the course for a “super specialist” who “is supposed to be on duty at a communications center, and not crawl through the mud.” So you can be on duty at any civilian job, which is generally free from many military features and does not require good specialist strain to maintain physical fitness and sacrifice comfort from time to time.

Now about the problem of the courses, which is more real than discussions about “female terminators” and the fears of those who have relaxed a little while on duty at the consoles for their health and future inconveniences. In general, the host side of the training centers is quite loyal to its cadets. Let's say, by giving a little rest on the way out to an overly exhausted training platoon, they are unlikely to reduce the overall load and benefit from the courses. Moreover, the load is really very high, and the goal of the training is not to weed out the “unsuitable,” but to provide high-quality combat training, the intensity and conditions of which bring the cadets as close as possible to the situation of real combat operations. But when they start collecting money for passing exams, hinting that exams can be taken in different ways, and if you get a bad grade you will be fired from the Armed Forces - this is the first step towards profanation of the very idea of ​​“survival courses”. This “business” is practiced at the platoon level and is often provoked by the overly frightened “survivalists” themselves.

Those who are going to the training camp should not fall for it. Firstly, because there is NO installation for screening! Even despite the cheerful assurances of the host party about how many of those who arrived will not be able to pass, one must understand that they also watched films about American sergeants, and they want to put them in a serious mood right away. Secondly, since all failed standards can be retaken by the certification commission. And the majority of those who will actually be fired because of the courses are either those who wrote reports in advance, or after the first strains to which they were not accustomed in the service, or desperately trying to get through the medical line, or truly unfit for the profession - frankly speaking, such are among their colleagues everyone will remember.

Another problem is equipment. No one provides those leaving for the training camp with clothing and will not compensate for what they bought with their own money. To be fair, I want to say that those who came to the training camp with the required equipment have more difficulties than those who took care of comfortable and light shoes, a duffel bag with wide straps, a light sleeping bag, a change bag, etc. However, much of what is already bought for service on one’s own is not provided for by any clothing allowance. One can only hope that some measures will be taken to improve this situation over time. But for now it’s better to rely on yourself.

In conclusion, I would like to wish those who are preparing to “survive” good weather and patience! You will definitely have something to remember.

Participants of the so-called “survival school” arrived in Yaroslavl over the weekend from many regions of Russia - from St. Petersburg to Smolensk. These are courses for contract soldiers - sergeants and warrant officers, which, by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, have been organized since 2012 in various cities of the country. In Yaroslavl, these courses are located on the territory of the former military financial school.

The survival school, where women study equally with men, is designed for one and a half months: two weeks of school, two in the field, then back to school - and tests. The most important thing is “survival in the field.” It involves, in particular, marching on foot - up to 50 kilometers, forced marches of 10 km in full equipment, overcoming a fire-assault line and running in tanks, and many other similar exotics. True, survivors of this school say that there are lighter loads: those under 30 run 100 meters and 3 kilometers, and those over 30 run 60 meters and 1 kilometer. Although those of Yaroslavl who saw these brave men with beer bellies half a meter long doubt that they are capable of such loads.
However, despite the horrors of the Yaroslavl survival school, which are described on the Internet, the recruits who arrived at Yaroslavl-Glavny on Sunday were filled with drunken, road-going enthusiasm and first of all went to Kotoroslny Beach. However, their huge bags and trunks indicated that they tried to be equipped with everything they needed for at least a year-long survival school.
But even for a month and a half they will need a lot. This is what an experienced contract soldier who has gone through the “school of survival” advises.
1. Tablets.
Vitamins - a big burden on the body, antibiotics - everyone had a sore throat, from diarrhea and poisoning, from headaches and fever, plaster, hydrogen peroxide - calluses on the feet are inevitable, the glue that is sold in the pharmacy helps a lot when an open wound appears on the palm after tearing off the trenches, you fill it with this glue and wait until it dries, and everything heals quickly.

2. Equipment.
Change-up - an old uniform, maybe a camouflage robe, you need it because most of the time of 6 weeks you will be crawling on the ground, when you come to the barracks you take it off and put on a clean one, turning from a pig into a man
Lightweight boots with fabric inserts - when you walk long distances, your legs are easy to chafe. For the ankle boots, I recommend taking foot wraps and a bunch of socks.
Field bag (tablet) - needed only for drill review, but you need to carry it with you, so all the contents are laid out from it and used as an asshole during smoke breaks.
A flask - without water there is death, there are always battles for water.
Raincoat-tent - at first I carried it in a duffel bag, but then I laid it out - if it's raining, you put on an RCBZ raincoat and everything, but you really don’t want to carry around even an extra 100 grams. I recommend buying a regular Chinese cellophane raincoat for 60 rubles. and the question is removed.
Sleeping bag - don’t take the standard one too heavy - an ordinary Chinese one for 800 rubles. that's it! I had a statutory one, I suffered with it.
A penknife - don’t spare money, buy a strong one - it’s a necessary thing when you live in the fields!
A flashlight was needed only in the last week, when we lived in the field.
Mosquito net - take it, it’s awesome - the midge spares no one and only beekeepers in mosquito nets enjoyed life) ointments and sprays are complete crap.
Duffel bag - if you can get some unloading, you better dig it up, the bag is a complete piece of shit, the thin straps dig into your shoulders and they start to hurt terribly. We finalized the straps by wrapping them with cardboard and tape, better option wrap them with a piece of a travel rug.
Tags, hemming, buttonholes - tags are needed on the first day at the drill review, then they just keep falling off. We were not scolded for filing, because... it could have been changed by lunchtime, I only hemmed the output uniform, there was no replacement, the buttonholes were only on the output uniform, there were no buttonholes on the replacement uniform either, as they were flying off.
Tent – ​​the ordinary Chinese tent we lived in in the field was very useful. Midges and mosquitoes do not fly into it, which provides you restful sleep, we were able to buy while already there, the issue price was 600 rubles.
Sportswear - you need good sneakers with soft soles, sneakers and all sorts of slippers kill your feet, since you need to run a lot and every day. Light shorts and a T-shirt of any color and size, that’s basically all for sports. form.
The pea coat and padded jackets that we had secured were of no use.
A cell phone is not prohibited, take the simplest and most unpretentious one. It turned out to be a good option to buy a local SIM card so as not to make roaming calls.
Slippers seem like crap, but they are a necessary thing.
I won’t talk about personal hygiene products anywhere without them - unless you are a pig in the first place.
Take with you a small kettle, a boiler, and some cheap carrying case. There were very few sockets in the company, cobwebs were woven from the carriers, and there was still a line to charge the phone.
Shoe polish, brush, gas mask.
The sapper blades given out at the courses are dull, so it’s better to come with your own well-sharpened blade. You can take a sharpening stone and household gloves (regular Chinese) with you.

And here are the two most innocent responses on the Internet about the Yaroslavl survival school.
Anti-sergeant:
Ours also went to Yaroslavl!!! There, the head of these courses was transferred there 1.5 weeks before they started, which he was able to prepare during this time! So much for your bravado - hang in there, don’t whine, because in other parts normal conditions They were able to create it, but they sent a crap army to Yaroslavl?
kobro4ka:
I don’t know WHAT they sent to Yaroslavl, but there will be no order there during this training. I would really like to draw the attention of our authorities to THIS. How their “chic” programs are implemented in life, and what comes out of it. By the way, they didn’t promise to feed me either.

Survival courses

I signed a contract in February, took a survival course, can I transfer to another branch of the military and will I need to take the course again?

In order to transfer to another branch of the military, you need to obtain a relationship in the unit to which you want to transfer. In addition, you will also need to obtain permission from your unit commander. Survival courses will not be repeated.

Hello, they will send 100% If there was a gap between the contracts, then they will send.

I am serving for the third year under a contract, I am being sent to survival courses, can I refuse and what are the possible reasons for refusal?

Hello, your groundless refusal will most likely be regarded by the command of the military unit as a failure to fulfill the terms of the contract. Illness can be cited as a valid reason (if you are really sick during this period).

I signed a second contract, they sent me back to survival courses, my commanders told me to write a report for expulsion, and back to the unit where I serve, in the unit where I took the course, they told me to write a report due to my reluctance to serve in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces, they gave me an extract from the order, send to PPD to terminate the contract, can they fire me for this?

Hello. Of course not.

I’m a contract worker, I’ve been serving for 3 years, when I joined the service I was sent to survival courses, everything would have been fine if there hadn’t been 32 on the street, we lived in tents in the forest, we arrived not only with a cold, but simply simply sick with cystitis, and inflammation, etc. etc., after this serious problems began in gynecology with the diagnosis of chronic sulpengo-oophoritis already made. On this moment commanders are threatening to fire me under the military military order, BUT I acquired this disease in the army - here! How can I prove this, that before admission I was absolutely healthy and am I entitled to compensation for a disease acquired for life with unknown consequences...?
Thank you!

Hello. In this situation, you don’t have to worry, you will be referred to the military medical service and if the military military commission accepts that you are sick and naturally you also had medical training before entering the service and were healthy, then you got sick during the service, and you should be paid insurance and probably housing, you need more did but will talk.

I am entering into a second contract with the Russian Federation, will they send me to survival courses again?

If the contract requires this, then yes, if the contract does not, then no.

Do I need to take survival courses when concluding a contract without military service if I have a military ID?

This is not regulated by law, it is simply one of the forms of military service, regulated, accordingly, only by internal departmental documents and decisions of commanders.

I took a survival course, then went to maternity leave, has now left it. Do I need to take these courses again?

What kind of courses are these? What specialty? If you were there there should be documents confirming this.

How can you not go to survival courses without consequences.

Hello, Guest. To answer your question, you need to know what kind of courses these are and who sends you there.

In Russia, the principle of freedom of contract applies (Article 431 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), therefore you cannot be forced to enroll in any courses, except in cases provided for by law. With respect, lawyer in Volgograd - Stepanov Vadim Igorevich.

Should I go to survival courses if I am a combat veteran, is there an article or where is this stated?

You have not indicated who or what obliges you to take these courses. Please check.

Can I be sent to survival courses if I am sick and have a certificate.

Hello, Nigina. Failure to attend the specified courses, if there is a corresponding medical certificate, and will be your survival.

Yes, I took survival courses, was discharged from the defense, then called up again, do I need to take these courses if I am a combat veteran?

Unknown. From the point of view of legislation, these are ordinary service moments for military personnel; they are not specifically covered by legislation; perhaps only something is spelled out in departmental acts.

I entered service under a contract a month and a half ago; I haven’t been sent to survival courses yet. In connection with the inspection in the unit from the district, I passed the final control test on all types of training along with everyone else, respectively overall rating 2, because there was no preparation. What could be the consequences? And should I have been involved in this audit at all?

And what, what is the problem, study and train further to become an excellent student in combat training.

I am doing military service and am about to sign a contract, do I need to take survival courses if I transfer to contract service?

Hello! If you manage to sign a contract before the expiration of the term of military service or on the same day, then you are not required to take survival or military training courses, but if the documents for you are drawn up later, then you will general principles going on a survival course.

I came from a survival course, the final grade was “2,” they called me to headquarters and asked if I wanted to continue serving, if “Yes,” then go at your own expense! If “no,” write a report that you are not ready to travel at your own expense and we will fire you! Can they fire me for what I have?
2 points for courses?

Directly for this - of course not. But, since failure to complete certain training would be considered a dereliction of duty, the contract may indeed be terminated on culpable grounds.

Will you be fired from your contract if you haven’t completed the survival course?!

Question: will you be fired from your contract if you haven’t completed the survival course?! Answer: they won’t fire you; this is not a significant breach of contract.

I am a combat veteran, can I be sent to survival courses?

Good afternoon Anton. The status of a combat veteran in itself is not a reason for you not to be sent to survival courses.

Are there days off after survival courses?

Good day. This point is established exclusively by the commander of the military unit. I wish you good luck in resolving your issue.

In 2015, my husband (a military man), while on a survival course, went to the hospital with a diagnosis of taberulo-interstitial nephritis (in other words, kidney failure). They didn’t apply for insurance that year because they wanted to serve, but now the contract is ending and the question of getting insurance has arisen. Can he apply for insurance compensation after three years? If so, what documents are required besides the IHC. Thank you.

Hello. May apply. Term limitation period- 3 years. Documents confirming the presence of the disease and service are provided. Naturally, identification documents. Other necessary or missing documents will be indicated by the insurance company. All the best to you and successful resolution of your problems.

Are they sent to survival courses with higher education?

Hello! Through these courses, a candidate's suitability for service in the armed forces is tested and his strength is tested.. Therefore higher education has nothing to do with it at all.

I am an orchestra musician, 35 years old, female, sent to survival courses. I know that there is a telegram according to which the personnel of military bands are not sent, but it is from 2012. How to get away with it.

Hello dear visitor, there’s no way to get away with it, especially since it’s a military orchestra. But only if there is a good reason, such as illness. Good luck to you and all the best, with respect, lawyer Ligostaeva A.V.

My son is now on a survival course, there is a week left until the end of the course. He held on until the last, he caught a cold at the training ground and had a fever for several days, but he was not going to go to the infirmary and wanted to go to the end to receive a certificate of completion of the course. The situation turned out like this... The son simply shared with his husband about his poor health, and the husband shared this with his friend and that’s all. The acquaintance decided to try to help in some way and called some friend of his at this garrison. As a result, everyone was shouting at his son for complaining to his parents, but he didn’t understand why or for what, he was forcibly put in the infirmary and documents are being prepared for expulsion from the courses. My son is in shock, we also don’t know what to do... These courses are simply terrible, this is happening there... If they don’t dismiss you from the army and send you on conscript duty, they will force you to take the courses all over again... After graduating from university, he went under a contract for two years of service, instead of one on fixed-term service. The probationary period ended yesterday on April 9, but it seems he still hasn’t signed the contract... Is it really not possible to lie in the infirmary for 2-3 days during a survival course and be immediately written off for it? Moreover, it turns out that they put it in without his desire. What should we expect now?

Hello! There are no grounds for expulsion from courses if you are sick, this is there a respectful reason it is written on paper. If the charter does not provide for such rules in all their actions, apparently the lawlessness remains unfounded... All the best to you!

A familiar situation in the MILITARY camps of the early nineties. Apparently they haven’t told you yet what they feed them there. THIS IS LYRICS. Reality. The actions of the Head of the Courses are NOT LEGAL, it is necessary to prepare a complaint to the HEAD OF THE UNIT and it will be possible to recover a decent amount from them. The fact that the contract (agreement) is not signed is also in the order of things. Our entire RUSSIAN ARMY is famous for this. To us graduates military department MSTU "STANKIN", our second copies of contracts with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are still NOT GIVEN OUT. If you complain to the head of the unit, it won’t help, go HIGHER all the way to the MINISTRY OF DEFENSE. THIS IS LAWNESS PLUS MILITARY HAZING. I speak about this with knowledge of the matter, since I MYSELF WENT TO THE MEDSAMBAT AT A MILITARY TRAINING.

In the Southern Military District (SMD), out of nearly six thousand contract soldiers, about a thousand failed the first stage of testing as part of an intensive combined arms training course, during which soldiers must undergo a “survival school.”

According to the district's press service, more than 5.5 thousand military personnel under contract from formations and units of the Southern Military District have successfully completed a course of intensive combined arms training with elements of “survival.” “About a thousand people did not pass the test and will be reviewed by certification commissions for compliance with their positions,” the press service said.

They also reported that the result of the preparation was a 40-kilometer forced march. During the forced march, the cadets acted behind the lines of the mock enemy, and also organized military guarding of the camp and camouflage of military rest areas.

According to the Ministry of Defense, a total of five stages of intensive combined arms training courses are planned in training centers military department. It is expected that by the end of January 2013, all military personnel under the contract of the Southern Military District will undergo such courses.

It is known that during the most difficult tests, military personnel improved their skills in tactical, fire, reconnaissance, engineering, military medical, physical training, military topography, radiation, chemical and biological protection.

The press service explained that as part of the “survival course”, military personnel received the skills to navigate the area using a compass and landscape features, start a fire using improvised means, get water and cook food. In addition, all test participants passed the first aid exam. medical care. Those servicemen who fail to cope with this tough program will not be allowed to serve under contract in the future.

Please note that since May 2012, in several divisions Russian army launched by contract soldiers serving in the ground forces. As noted in the message from the Ministry of Defense, the program includes a survival course, in particular, special sets of exercises for overcoming fear, methods of self-control and psychophysiological self-regulation.

A six-week program for training connections in intensive combined arms training Contract soldiers with a “survival” course were approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Colonel General Alexander Postnikov. New program, as experts note, “will add elements of surprise and reasonable risk to the training of military personnel.”

“The study of the basics of survival, embedded in the new training course, includes knowledge about survival factors and autonomous existence in various climatic zones, the influence of temperatures, high altitudes on the body, methods of self-control and psychophysiological self-regulation. “We are learning psychophysical exercises for the purpose of self-conviction and overcoming fear,” said a representative of the press service and information department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for Ground forces Colonel Sergei Vlasov.

It is quite possible that the tightening of requirements for contract soldiers is due to the fact that in January 2012 a law came into force that significantly increased the level of pay for military personnel. The salary of an ordinary contract soldier, depending on his position and length of service, should range from 25 thousand rubles to 36 thousand rubles. In addition, taking into account surcharges for special conditions service, in a number of units of the Russian army the salary of a contract soldier will be 30-42 thousand rubles.

The issue of significantly increasing compensation for rental housing for military personnel is also being considered. Improvement of conditions contract service, of course, leads to stricter requirements when selecting applicants for service. A contract employee must have a complete secondary education, be at least 19–20 years old and not older than 30, have no contraindications for physical and psychological health and successfully required aptitude tests.

. “I think that mandatory courses for contract soldiers are almost the only the right decision command. We must have a real capable army. The (unspoken) task of screening (dismissal) is quite adequate from the point of view of the combat readiness of the armed forces,” writes one of the site’s readers. “This is not a survival course, as the higher management called it, it is a screening of contract service personnel. In just one week, more than 20 people have quit. And, most importantly, we are sailors on surface ships. Why do we need to go to sea? field conditions and march throws?.

Returned from survival school Khabarovsk, p. Prince Volkonsky. I’ll tell you everything as it is, everything I remember according to the chronology of events.

I decided to go to the survival courses for contract soldiers as the first group myself, since May-June is not yet hot, there are no midges, mosquitoes, and in the first stream the machine of the survival courses will only accelerate. I signed up for the volunteer list and went to buy everything I would need during the courses.

Now I can already say what everyone really needs and will find useful in survival courses.

1 Tablets

*Vitamins– We put heavy loads on the body.

*Antibiotics– everyone had a sore throat 100%, it’s a necessary thing, it’s also better to take it for diarrhea and poisoning – they came in handy for me.

*Head and temperature were not useful, but gave them to comrades.

*Patch per roll 3-5 pieces.

*Hydrogen peroxide– calluses on the feet are inevitable.

*Glue for wounds, which is sold at the pharmacy helps a lot when an open wound appears. For example, on your palm after digging trenches, you fill it with this glue and wait until it dries and everything is fine.

2 Equipment

*Substitution - old form, you can wear a camouflage suit, you need it because most of the time out of 6 weeks you will be crawling on the ground, and it is rarely dry in the Khabarovsk Territory, when you come to the barracks you take it off and put on a clean one, turning from a pig into a man.

*Lightweight boots– I arrived in the regular ones, they were worn out and did not rub at home, but when you walk long distances everything changes a lot - I killed my legs on the 3rd day, after which I ordered lightweight ankle boots for 1600 rubles. with fabric inserts. They don’t rub your feet, they breathe and are much easier, which is very important. There is another option for 2500, they are generally lighter than sneakers.

*Field bag (tablet)- it’s only needed at a drill review, but you need to carry it with you, so all the contents are laid out from it and used as an asshole during smoke breaks.

*flask- it came in handy, without water there is death, there are always battles for water.

*Cloak-tent- at first I carried it in a duffel bag, but then I laid it out - if it rains, you put on an RCBZ raincoat and all that, but you really don’t want to carry around even an extra 100 grams. I recommend buying a regular Chinese cellophane raincoat for 60 rubles. and the question is removed.

*Sleeping bag- don’t take the charter too heavy - regular Chinese for 800 rubles. that's it! I had a statutory one, I suffered with it.

*Penknife- don’t spare money, buy a strong one – this is a necessary thing when you live in the fields!

*Flashlight– was needed only in the last week, when we lived in the field.

*Mosquito net- take it, you can live in it - the midge does not spare anyone and only beekeepers in mosquito nets enjoyed life. Ointments and sprays are complete nonsense.

*Duffel bag– if possible, it is better to get unloading. The bag is an extremely uncomfortable thing - the thin straps dig into your shoulders and they begin to hurt terribly. We modified the straps by wrapping them with cardboard and tape; an even better option is to wrap them with a piece of a camping rug.

*Hemming tags, buttonholes,- tags are needed on the first day at the drill review, then they all fly off. They didn’t bother us for the hemming, since it could have been changed by lunchtime. I only hemmed the output form, but not the substitution. The buttonholes are only on the output uniform; the replacement ones also didn’t have them because they flew off. Behind appearance they didn’t build us up at all, the company commander said go around naked, I don’t care, the main thing is to comply with the standards.

*Tent– the ordinary Chinese tent in which we lived in the field was very useful; midges and mosquitoes do not fly into it, which ensures a restful sleep. We were able to buy it while already on the course, the price was 600 rubles.

*Sports uniform- you need good sneakers with soft soles. Sneakers and all kinds of slippers kill your feet, since you need to run a lot and every day. I had Chinese sneakers for 320 rubles. my heels hurt constantly. Light shorts and a T-shirt of any color and size, that’s basically it sports uniform.

*Pea coat and quilted jackets which we locked away were of no use.

*Cellular telephone- it was not prohibited, take the simplest and most unpretentious Philips for 900 rubles. Everything that is more than 1000 rubles. can technically swim away. We had enough cases and the thoughts “well, I’m sure I won’t miss my cell phone for 20 thousand” disappeared instantly, looking at the people who were running around the company location with round eyes and shouting “ahhh where is my technology!!!”, and in response to him “What are you looking at, didn’t you save it or something)))”

A good option was already in Khabarovsk at the station to buy a local SIM card so as not to make calls while roaming.

*Slippers– it seems like bullshit, but it’s necessary.

*About personal hygiene products I won’t talk anywhere without them - unless you’re a pig in the first place.

About everyday life...

After arriving, we were placed in the company’s headquarters; bunk beds and bedside tables, like everywhere else, became our temporary home.

The water in the washbasins is only cold, so take with you a small kettle, a boiler, or some kind of cheap carrying case. There were very few sockets in the company - 7-8, and there were about a hundred of us, so cobwebs were woven from the carriers and there was still a line to charge the phone.

The most in a simple way you could wash yourself using a hose that was stuck into the sink - but the water was simply ice-cold, an option only for walruses), the second method is more difficult - you take the TV from the company sergeant-major, pour water, throw a boiler in there and guard it so that no one uses this stuff. The bathhouse was on Saturdays, and you had to wash every day.

The toilet became clogged after a week, the company commander tied up the clogged stalls with wire, there was only one left in one wing and 2 in the other wing of the company, so you always have to wait in line to sit on the nest.

You put all your personal belongings in a bag and give them to the foreman in the quarters, you leave the essentials in the nightstand - shoe polish, a brush, a towel, soap supplies - I didn’t lose anything.

About classes...

When we arrived at the unit, the company commander lined us up and introduced himself as the commander of the 8th training company. R. Paustyan, briefly told us what was facing us, only 70% would survive and sent us to physical therapy. We ran about 5 km around the unit and after that the 2nd got ready to go home, these were the first losses in our ranks.

We were taken to the sanatorium. the part where the doctor made notes that we were healthy and ready for physical activity. Since we had not yet been provided with food, lunch and dinner were leftovers brought from the train.

A sample dismissal report appeared on the stand in the company...

From 9 to 10:40 there was an evening roll call at the parade ground, after which we went to the unit to get ready for bed. The first night no one could sleep, everyone was fidgeting, talking, playing with their phones. I don’t remember how I fell asleep, I opened my eyes at 5:40 from the squeaky cry of the orderly, “The company is getting up,” at 5:50, “The company is going out for morning exercises.”

The exercise was on the parade ground under the old Soviet music, after which we were charged for 3 km. Then breakfast, and immediately we go to the warehouse, we get machine guns, an hour later they were already enshrined in military IDs. Cleaning weapons for 30 min. and to class, then everyone realized that they urgently needed to lighten their duffel bag, since this infection was putting a lot of pressure on their shoulders, and they had to carry it all day.

So the classes were held behind the barracks, 500 meters away on the so-called tactical floor. training places were marked with squares of flags with barrier tape and a tag with the name of the training point. There were about 10 training places - NBC protection, tactical training, engineering, medical, etc.

We were divided into squads and sent to the training sites, our valiant 1st squad of the second platoon that day went to tactical training - fulfillment of standard No. 10 (you run 15 meters like a snake holding the enemy at gunpoint, fall, crawl 20 meters, then run 15 meters again . prepare for shooting while sitting and make a report “Private Pupkin is ready for shooting”). You need to complete it in 45 seconds. It wouldn’t be a big deal if you didn’t have 20 kg hanging on you. bag + gas mask and tablet)) and the crawling area was not dry at all, after an hour everyone was wet and tired.

After a 20-minute smoke break, the command was sounded to change training positions and we went to engineering training, where we were subject to the standard for digging a trench for shooting from a prone position. Everyone took out shovels (they were also given out), they explained to us what and how and showed us the place to dig. It was necessary to dig a trench in 30 minutes. lying on your side without raising your head. Everyone fell and began to blast the ground with blunt blades, and the company commander gave us bonuses in the form of a smoke bomb or an explosion of packages towards those who tried to raise their heads or bodies. Half an hour passed, the palms of half of the hands were torn off, and this misfortune also affected me. The calluses hurt terribly and my hands were very dirty, because... The ground is damp, and it’s easier to rake it out by hand.

Subsequently, many acquired gloves (ordinary Chinese ones) and sharpening the blade became an integral part of preparation for entering the tactical field.

By 14:00 everyone was lined up and taken to lunch (another trick in the infantry is to carry the material base on yourself). A bunch of wooden boxes with flags, signs, helmets, bulletproof vests and all sorts of other nonsense. Dragging the material base was very annoying because... and so everyone was already severely exhausted by infantry wisdom.

And so it’s lunch - we throw all our stuff on the parade ground, appoint one guard and march in formation to the dining room. At the dining room we wait another 20 minutes for our turn and finally there is food))).

About the diet:

- breakfast- this is usually rice or buckwheat with a piece of meat or liver and gravy, a coffee drink, a carton of milk, 15 grams. butter, boiled egg and a bun or 4 cookies;

- dinner– soup, again meat or fish with buckwheat or rice, tea, butter, bun;

- dinner- fish with gravy and buckwheat + tea with bread and butter.

Sometimes they gave dumplings, cheese, candies, gingerbreads, salads as a side dish at lunch, herring, squash caviar. Everything tasted fresh and not salty, but no one returned hungry and rarely did anyone finish everything they were given.

After lunch, a 15-minute smoke break and back on the parade ground we take our junk and go to practice on the tactical field until 17.00. Then we finally return to the barracks and hand over our weapons.

В 18.00 все уже стоят в спортивной форме и заряжаемся на 3 км., потом сдаем 100 м. Бегали в парке гарнизона, после чего можно было сходить в магазин купить себе какой-нибудь сниггерс и коллы, очень не хватало сладкого и вообще какой-нибудь chemical food.

We must give credit to the platoon commanders, they always ran with us and went to the training ground on foot, albeit without a duffel bag and a machine gun, but they also felt the delights of large transitions.

This is how our first week passed, on Saturday there was a bullpen where we took PHYS (3 km, 100 m pull-ups) and tests on the tactical field in subjects that we studied all week. Sunday - sports festival again we run for half a day, but half a day free time and a bathhouse!

Polygon

This is a completely different story, our first one was on Tuesday of the second week. We get up at 5.30 and get weapons and packed rations. We take our favorite duffel bag and walk with this stuff for 12-15 km. over rough terrain (fields, forests). The transition lasted 2 hours 40 minutes. In fact, it was very difficult to walk because of the bag, the machine gun, the RKhBZ was constantly unfastened from the bag, it was stuffy, the midge was spinning in front of the face, all wet, the legs in the ankle boots were boiling. We were just languishing there.

Water scarcity(I took half a flask with me in a bag and filled a full flask, you drink half a flask on the way there, a half flask there, and half a flask back, I thought, but the water ran out there).

There were people with bleeding from their noses, my lips were very chapped, the urine was dark in color - it was burning, of course. We drank water from some lake, it stank of a swamp with an aftertaste of some nasty thing, but it was cold and clear, and no one even got sick after it.

At first they shared water, but then friendship became friendship, and everyone carried their own water. By the end of the day, everyone is dehydrated, their legs are sore, their faces are sour and burnt.

At the training ground we met the same standards as at home, the passage of the fire-assault line deserves special attention, everything is like in an American movie, you run 600 m in full equipment through various obstacles, everything smokes, explodes, and you climb through a web of barbed wire) ), in short, this exercise was very exhausting.

We had lunch at the training ground at about 2 o'clock, after which we had a smoke break and went home.

They arrived at 5, handed over weapons until 6, dinner, evening verification - it always lasted at least an hour for us, it happened that 2 stood on the parade ground, but they all survived.

There is such a joke in the infantry, the duty officer of the unit forms us, the battalions are all 1200 people on the parade ground, the duty officer commands, stand up, after which the command is to stand down, then stand up again, set aside again, and so on 15 times lightly, then just at attention, at ease.

Even when battalions greet the regiment commander, the infantry doesn’t have time to take a breath before blurting out good health, as soon as he said, hello comrades, you immediately shout the answer.

So we flew day after day for all 5 weeks (2 training grounds per week) and KZ every Saturday.

The platoon leaders themselves died towards the middle of our training, and after lunch they began to hide us in the forest, which we were very happy about!!!

The last week is a field trip, where we lived in the fields, ate dry rations, sabotage groups attacked us, trying to steal a machine gun at night. Constant lack of water, bitten by mosquitoes and midges, dirty and smelly, I dreamed of getting home, everyone dreamed of home.

BMP-2 was tested, shooting day and night, a lot of regulations, everyone was looking forward to the night to sleep. On the last day of the field trip, they decided to arrange a march for us to the house, 30-50 km away. We walked about 35 km. Based on time, we left at 6.30 and reached the unit at 14.20. The last kilometers were especially difficult, everyone had run out of water, and the heat was simply unbearable. The last kilometer, when part of it was already visible, we walked through a swamp, almost knee-deep water and unfortunate hummocks. That day the company commander led us, he was especially dying because on the eve he had been drinking like crazy)) he killed his hooves, felt how hard it was for us to walk, it was he who did not yet have a machine gun and a bag.

About exams

Even in the middle of the course of the week, on the third day, people started asking about the exams, oh, how are we going to pass, oh, what will happen if we don’t pass, but we can come to an agreement, etc. etc. As a result, we were charged a fee for exams of 4.5 rubles for combat training items, 2.5 rubles for physical training, half were indignant at the prices, they said we would pass it ourselves, to which the platoon commanders gathered us and had a conversation at which they explained that the standards can be adopted according to in different ways and you can even get to the bottom of the post, so whoever dulls it and doesn’t pass will leave with two marks on their certificates. And a bad grade means dismissal from the RF Armed Forces, in short, it’s terrible!

Before the week-long field trip, everyone passed the exam with a 7, those who were confident in PHYS passed with a 4.5. In order to collect more, the platoon commanders told us for 2 weeks that Khitrik would come to FIZO, the head of the district physical department would take a 5 km march, with a machine gun, a gas mask, a pouch, a 3 km run, a 100 m run, and pull-ups, they said that the march- no one will pass the throw. You cannot choose other exercises. As a result, Khitrik did not come, but we passed 100 m. 1000 m., and pull-ups, 80% of them, including me, passed on our own, the rest were given 3s because the big boys passed everything.

On the last day, when we returned from the fields, we were gathered at the club and the political officer of their unit said that he had heard rumors that platoon commanders were collecting money for exams, explained that if we came with bad marks, then at home we could retake all the negative grades at the certification commission and it’s not so easy to fire us, he gave us his hotline. Naturally, everyone was afraid to complain, and with the feeling that we were cruelly used, and we also paid money for it, we went home.

Conclusion

If you are not a bad guy in your unit, and you honestly survived 6 weeks there, you don’t need to pay a penny for exams, no matter what they tell you. We had guys who didn’t pay 2-3 people because there was no money and family problems and they also arrived with triplets. Let these ghouls graze in our unit and no one looked at our certificates, they were filed in a personal file and that’s it.

There is a lot more that could be written, but it will be a short book. I stopped at important points, which can help future cadets of the survival school.
