Now conscripts serve in the army or navy for only one year. This life span in captivity can seem tedious and boring. At the same time, there are many ways to make the most of your time.
Get into a sports company or a county song and dance ensemble
For several months, conscripts are trained in special training units, "training". During this period, the young man has no personal time at all. From lifting to lights out - solid drill, specialty training, outfits.
But after the young soldiers completed their studies and took the oath, “buyers” - specially seconded officers from all regions of Russia - come to the training camp for them. In order to recruit replenishment into combat units.
If a young man has acquired some sports skills before the service, knows how to sing, dance or play a musical instrument well, it's time to declare this. Even if a guy has only a second adult category in swimming or boxing, you need to feel free to say that he is a master of sports or a candidate for master of sports. If you graduated from only 5 classes of a music school in playing the trombone, then you can still say that he is the best graduate of this school.
In this case, the "buyers" may become interested and take such a person into a sports company or a song and dance ensemble. Of course, then the recruit's skills will be tested, but he can say that he has recently lost his shape, and will soon restore it.
The army structure is massive and inert, if a person is enrolled in one unit, he will hardly be transferred to another. And once in a sports company or a song and dance ensemble, he will be able to develop the skills acquired before the service. And his life will be much more free and pleasant than that of an ordinary soldier or sailor.
Sports and amateur performances in the combat unit
In the ordinary part, especially if it is large, there is an orchestra, a football, volleyball team and even an amateur group. You should immediately declare all your talents and try to become a member of these communities. If this can be done, then the life of a soldier will be much more interesting and productive.
You can play sports. In the evenings, employees have free time until lights out. Almost every department has a set of weights and barbells. There is an opportunity for the remaining time to seriously put the body in order, to make it beautiful. And after the service, when meeting girls in a nightclub or on the beach, this will be a big trump card.
Paint
If you have a skill in drawing, you should make a portrait of some colleague and then show it to everyone. If the work is done with talent, such an artist's further life in the unit will consist mainly of creativity, and not combat service. He will be approached with orders not only by his colleagues, but also by the officers of the unit.
Keep diaries
You can start keeping diaries, writing down all the vicissitudes of military service, and after its completion - write a book based on them. The main thing is to make sure that none of the unspoken informants and "informers" steal the diaries and give them to the political officer of the unit. If you describe in your diary accurately and with humor all the shortcomings of military service, the army structure or the state as a whole, you can "run into" serious problems. At best, such a writer will receive outfits out of turn. At worst, you can "run into" the guardhouse or transfer to another unit.
To study
If a young man wants to study, he can enroll in absentia at one of the country's universities, receive new assignments via the Internet, and complete them in his free time or during night dresses. And after the service, immediately enter the full-time department of the second year of this institute.
