The army has always been considered a school of life for men. Service in the ranks of the armed forces was associated with perseverance, courage and courage. Currently, the degree of public respect for the army has slightly decreased due to the negative processes taking place within the walls of the military barracks.
Young guys to be drafted and their parents are anxiously awaiting a summons from the military registration and enlistment office - what kind of life is prepared for a recruit away from home? As in any business, there are pros and cons in military service.
Pros of army everyday life
The army is, first of all, discipline, when the whole day is scheduled by the minute. Most of today's youth do not adhere to a daily routine. Not all young people in civilian life can boast that they go to bed at the same time every day. The food in the army canteens, albeit without culinary delights, is healthy and nutritious. Sport is one of the main components of military service. Performing marches, exercising on sports equipment and simulators, fighters become physically stronger.
And what is important - a young man grows up psychologically in a year of service. The young man learns to think, analyze the situation and draw the right conclusions. Service in the army is a good test for a warrior, his friends and his girlfriend to test true friendship and strength of feelings. In addition, in the army, you can make loyal friends: songs are even composed about the reliability of military brotherhood. During the service, a person, if desired, acquires useful habits, becomes more sociable and knows how to understand people.
Psychologists say that any situation is perceived depending on the inner mood. If a young man enters the army with the confidence that the year of service will simply be erased from life, then only disappointments await him in the army.
Cons of military service
No one is interested in the fighter's own opinion. The skill to carry out the orders of commanders unconditionally and without discussion is not easy for many young people. The recruits are protesting against the principle of collectivism, when everyone is responsible for the wrongdoing of one.
Unnecessary work is a common thing in the army. Commanders, in order to keep the soldiers occupied, sometimes come up with meaningless tasks for them. Sometimes officers use soldiers as free labor on their personal subsidiary plots.
Most of all recruits and their parents are afraid of hazing in the army. Unfortunately, hazing is present in the Russian army. Although now hazing has become less threatening. This is due to a reduction in the service life and control by various public organizations.
Pre-conscripts should remember that preparing themselves for military service psychologically needs no less than physically. Then there will be significantly fewer minuses in army life than pluses.
