How to survive in the Yaroslavl survival school. What survival courses will a contract soldier have to take in the Russian Armed Forces? What are survival courses for contract soldiers?

From May to Russian army will try out a new intensive training program for contract soldiers. It also includes so-called “survival courses”. The servicemen themselves had different opinions about these courses.

Generally such survival classes take place in the form of field exits. Forced marches are practiced for 10 kilometers and full equipment with overcoming a fire-assault line, as well as a march over a distance of 50 kilometers and some other tests.

How do female military personnel survive?

Harsh everyday life in the army in survival schools in tent camps they experience the same things as men. Let's say they have to run 3 kilometers in 15 minutes. Another test, this time psychological, is the so-called “tank run-in” (you need to withstand it mentally when a 40-ton tank is coming towards you, let it pass, and then “knock it out”). It is officially reported that they endure all these trials with a charming smile.
However, you can find other opinions on the forums. Thus, the husband of one of the female contract workers who took “survival courses” in Tambov asks reasonable questions. For example, aren’t commanders afraid of responsibility for the health of female contract workers, many of whom are over 40 years old - what if they simply fall from high blood pressure after a 5-kilometer forced march? And if a woman is of small build, then a backpack for training camp with an armored helmet, a sapper shovel, a gas mask, an OZK and other things turns out to be simply too heavy! Is the program for women no different from the men's?

In addition, it turns out that bags for spending the night in the field (also not the easiest test!), a uniform from Yudashkin, ankle boots - all this needs to be bought with your own money.

However, not all military personnel find support for this opinion. Yes, as for female contract workers, everyone agrees that there should be different conditions for them. However, in general, the army should not be a kindergarten, where, as they write, “they pressed a little and immediately began to whine. What if, God forbid, there is war? And if, relatively speaking, 10% of military personnel write reports of dismissal after such tests, then they have no place in the army, the military believes.

Not everyone “takes deadly courses” or “survives.”

Also on the Internet on forums you can sometimes find messages about “death courses”; supposedly several military personnel died during these trainings. However, this is not confirmed either officially or by specific messages from colleagues of these “dead”. Most likely, people are simply worried (and some are outright panicking) without having complete information about new courses.

Therefore, military personnel for some reason, for example, who lost consciousness, may well be mistaken for “dead.”

PHYSICAL is not up to par.

In general, some military men speak out quite harshly: it is clear that some guys haven’t lifted anything heavier than a glass for a long time, they worked in headquarters or in warehouses, and then suddenly they are forced to run at full speed, dig trenches and so on. It is especially difficult for military personnel with a full physique. To some, this is reminiscent of the classic KMB, which officers who studied at Soviet time. This explains negative attitude to “survival courses” for contract soldiers. True, these military officers give their fellow warrant officers who will follow them useful advice: run more now.

What do the military themselves think about survival courses?

At first, many thought that this was news about conducting “survival courses”» for contract soldiers- this is just a message for the “picture” on television and nothing more. However, soon confirmations began to come from specific units - they were indeed selecting military personnel for such tests. Thus, in one of the units, all contract servicemen were divided into five shifts, and they must take turns attending “survival courses” from May 7 to January 17. Moreover, many military men write on the Internet that they would love to visit them, but they don’t really let them in. Others advise to start by “testing the tank” with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and some generals.

In general, if you study many opinions and impressions, it turns out that so far no one died from “survival courses”, the living conditions during training are quite acceptable, there is no special pressure, female soldiers receive some concessions. Plus, the military remembers what they have long forgotten, and, perhaps, did not even know - if there were gaps in combat training in their units. So, the biggest problem is the ban on the use cell phones(and even then, such restrictions do not apply everywhere).

In May 2012, in funds mass media information has appeared that A new intensive military training program is being introduced in the Russian armed forces who serve in the ground forces. This program is popularly called “ survival courses ", since it includes complexes special exercises aimed at overcoming fear, as well as mastering methods of self-control and self-regulation.

The program lasts six weeks. It was approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Colonel General Alexander Postnikov, who is confident that it will help add a certain element of reasonable risk and surprise to the military training process.

According to Colonel Sergei Vlasov, the new course included the basics of survival, which include knowledge of how to survive in various climatic conditions, at different temperatures, the influence of high altitude on human body, as well as methods of self-control and self-regulation.

Less than six months later, loud controversy broke out in the press and on the Internet regarding the appropriateness of introducing a new training program. Many are sure that such “survival courses” are humiliating and illegal, many call them absurd, and some do not believe that such a thing actually exists. But first things first.

First of all, it should be noted that, starting in May of this year, intensive training has become mandatory for all contract soldiers, both those who have just come to serve and those who have been undergoing it for quite some time. Moreover, this course is also mandatory for technicians and even female military personnel. If a soldier refuses to take the course or fails the course, this may be sufficient grounds for his dismissal from the armed forces due to failure to meet the requirements for professional military personnel.

In fact, this is exactly what happens. Since the introduction of the program, more than a thousand contract soldiers have not completed survival courses, or have refused to take them. Now this figure has increased by another 350 people. In addition, approximately a thousand military personnel wrote reports refusing to take the course, and another number of military personnel simply did not pass the medical examination.

As for the program itself, this is a combined arms training course, which at first glance has very few points of contact with the air force, forces air defense, naval units, communications units or technical specialists. However, and the intensity of the program and its loads are extremely high for everyone taking the course. Even though this to some extent depends on the conditions of the training unit on the basis of which it takes place.

The course includes, in addition to intensive physical training, fire, combat, medical, tactical, engineering, and chemical training. Most of The course takes place at the training grounds.

At the end of the course there is a large forced march of 150 km, the conditions of which are as close to combat conditions as possible.

During this time, the military personnel eat dry rations, master camouflage skills, methods of setting up field camps, the skills of operating against the enemy, and undergo practical training in the tactics of conducting small-scale operations. military formations, overcome artificial and natural obstacles.

After completing the course, everyone takes final exams in combat and physical training . As for the course for female military personnel, the course for them is slightly modified. So, for example, they must overcome a 3-kilometer forced march in 15 minutes. In addition, there is also psychological test- the so-called “running in with a tank” - you need to endure it, not be scared, let it pass, and then knock it out. In addition, women must also pass field first aid exams.

By and large we can say that new program training is nothing more than a course for a young fighter, only put at a higher level professional level, which consists exclusively of practical combat training.

Directly related to the course of survival is heavy physical activity, especially for women. After all, most of them are already well over 40, and after a 5-kilometer forced march they may suffer from high blood pressure. In addition, if a woman is of a fragile build, then lifting a backpack with all the necessary components (armored helmet, sapper shovel, gas mask) will not be an easy task.

Among the military personnel themselves, there are also different opinions about whether this survival course is needed by everyone, or whether it should be limited to exclusively combat units.

Some (in particular, the Marines) argue that this program- this is not a survival course at all - but a course for a young fighter who has nothing to do with the basics of survival in extreme situations. According to others, this is clean water It is absurd to force pilots or sailors to climb under tanks or overcome enormous distances in forced marches. After all, for that matter, the ground forces will not be able, if necessary, to prepare an airplane for takeoff or a ship for departure.

Therefore, it is either necessary to introduce an additional course for the ground forces to master these skills, or cancel the existing survival course for the air force and naval forces. Everyone should do what they are trained to do.

But, if you delve deeper into the essence of the problem, then there cannot be non-combat formations in the armed forces, because in real combat conditions the situation may develop in such a way that you will have to fight off the enemy while lying in a trench with a machine gun, and not sitting at the controls of an airplane or with a wrench at the ready. And then neither the state of health, nor the type of military service, nor age will matter much.

In addition, any branch of the military requires its fighters to have certain physical and combat training, so the “survival course” will only help improve their level.

It must also be said that the new program makes it possible to staff the army with highly professional specialists. It identifies those who came to the service only for the sake of good material benefits and do not understand why crawl in the mud and study military affairs, if they can sit somewhere at a communications center or at the headquarters of a unit.

However, do not think that this program is ideal.. There are also certain problems here, thinking about solving them is much more important than discussing the feasibility of it in general. If the course already exists, then it is better to think about how to increase its effectiveness.

First of all, it is necessary to combat such a negative, but, unfortunately, widespread phenomenon as paying for final exams. This is often practiced at the platoon level and in most cases is instigated by the soldiers themselves, frightened by the prospect of failing the course. But if they start hinting at “financial support” of the course, you should not agree meekly, because, as a rule, those who voluntarily wrote a report before starting it, or those who did not pass the medical commission, are eliminated. And in the case where the military would drop out during the course, there really is very little.

Another one serious problem- this is equipment, or more precisely, purchasing it at your own expense, which no one will compensate for later. But if you have to choose between what the state can offer and what you can buy yourself, then, undoubtedly, it is better to choose the second option. And hope that over time the situation will change for the better. Unlikely, of course, but still...

It is quite possible to assume that the tightening of requirements for contract military personnel is related to the law that was adopted at the beginning of 2012. According to him, a significant increase in the Russian army is planned soon. Depending on the position and length of service, an ordinary soldier contract service will receive about 25-35 thousand rubles, and in some cases – up to 42 thousand. In addition, it is also planned to increase compensation for rental housing.

Such conditions, according to the military leadership, will cause an increase in those willing to serve. Therefore, in addition to the appropriate age (19-30 years), the presence of a complete secondary education, the absence of physical and psychological contraindications, and positive results of tests for professional aptitude, the course for survival will become one of the factors in the selection of those who joined the army by vocation.

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, march secrecy and camouflage, setting up a field camp, security and actions against “survivors” - “training sabotage groups», practical lessons according to the tactics of small units, physical fatigue and the absence of a kiosk around the corner - everything is like in American films, a la “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 fighter, only delivered with high quality high level and not including drill training and carrying out internal service - this is enough in the units - pure combat training with high intensity training. Actually, “survival” should include some everyday restrictions on “exits”, physical exercise, and sad prospects if training 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. Of course, the main reason for the increase in 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 civil work, which is generally free from many military features and does not require a good specialist to 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 “unfit,” 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 with “F” marks, dismissal from the Armed Forces looms - 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.

MINISTRY OF DEFENSE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Combat Training Directorate of the High Command

Ground Forces

PROGRAM
intensive combined arms training

with a "survival" course
(for military personnel admitted to military service by contract)

Moscow

2010

This Program was developed by the Main Directorate of Combat Training Ground Forces and is intended for training in military training units for military personnel who entered military service under a contract (who have previously completed military service).

When developing the Program, the following were taken into account: new directions in combat training of combined arms units, modern requirements to the content and scope of training tasks, the requirements of the Combat Manual for the preparation and conduct of combined arms combat (BUPVOB), the experience of combat operations and training of units during local wars and armed conflicts.

ORGANIZATION OF COMBAT TRAINING
1. Combat training is the main content daily activities troops in peacetime. It is organized and conducted on the basis of the requirements of General Military Regulations Armed Forces Russian Federation, the Battle Manual for the preparation and conduct of combined arms combat, orders and directives of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, his deputies, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces; organizational and methodological instructions for operational, mobilization and combat training of the Ground Forces; thematic plans for public and state training and organizational and methodological instructions of the Main Directorate for working with personnel Armed Forces of the Russian Federation; orders and directives of the military district commander; instructions, courses, manuals, collections of standards, methodological recommendations and this Program.

The learning objectives are: training contract military personnel (cadets) for independent actions when performing combat missions in the complex environment of modern combined arms combat; education of high moral and combat qualities.

2 . Serviceman trained must correspond qualification requirements for military professional training (contract servicemen) approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces.

3. The duration of training is 6 weeks, with 286 hours allocated for classes in the subjects of study (30 hours (10.5%) for theory, 246 hours (86%) for practical classes and 10 hours (3.5%) reserve time).

Training sessions are held 6 days a week: 5 weeks ( 5 days duration school day - 8 hours, 1 day (Saturday and pre-holiday days) length of the school day – 6 hours); 6- I'm school week ( 5 days control-comprehensive lesson (field trip) with a “survival” course, 1 day the length of the school day – 6 hours), school hour - 50 minutes. When conducting field classes or outings, the duration of the school day can be increased, without time restrictions.

Classes with personnel are organized and conducted on a scale training platoon(companies) in relation to the daily routine (Appendix No. 1) , in specially equipped classrooms, at field facilities of the UMB, at educational and training facilities (UTF), with weapons and military equipment. At the same time, no less 50% All field activities are carried out using personal protective equipment and night time. Night classes are planned and carried out without any restrictions.

During training with military personnel, actions are practiced that are regulated by the requirements of combat regulations, manuals, courses, a collection of standards and instructions, taking into account international obligations of the Russian Federation, the requirements of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation and the “Manual on International Humanitarian Law for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.”

When conducting classes, along with acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities, by creating an appropriate environment and conditions, the following tasks must be solved: psychological training of trainees; their readiness to overcome the dangers and difficulties of a combat situation; developing the ability to withstand high neuropsychological and physical stress that may arise during preparation and during combat. This is achieved by introducing into the course of the training elements of tension and surprise, danger and reasonable risk inherent in a real combat situation, repeated training of cadets in performing the learned techniques and actions, and instilling confidence in their commanders, weapons, military equipment and protective equipment.

To conduct classes with cadets educational units in addition to full-time commanders, officers of the management and headquarters of the training battalion, heads of military branches and services of the training military unit (district training center) should be involved.

The commander of a training company, when drawing up a schedule of classes for a week, is given the right to clarify the number and numbers of standards recommended by this book of the Program for testing during classes, taking into account the fact that by the end of training each cadet must be assessed based on the results of fulfilling all standards defined Collection of standards for combat training of the Ground Forces.

4. Combat training planning carried out by headquarters based on the decision of the commander, with his personal participation.

Taking into account the tasks of training cadets, when planning combat training, the head of the district training center, commander of a military training unit, commanders of training battalions are required to make a decision to clarify the training time for each subject of training for training units and command training of sergeants: in the training center and training military unit - in writing, as an attachment to the training plan; in the training battalion - in thematic calculation of hours.

The decision is made on the basis of orders and directives of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, his deputies, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces; organizational and methodological instructions for operational, mobilization and combat training of the Ground Forces; thematic plans for public and state training and organizational and methodological instructions of the Main Directorate for working with personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation; orders and directives of the military district commander; instructions, courses, manuals, a collection of standards, methodological recommendations, this Program and the capabilities of the educational material and technical base.

When planning combat training, the following are developed:

in the district training center(military training unit)– a preparation plan for the academic year with appendices and a calendar plan of main events for the month; summary schedule for the month;

I'll try to explain in other words. Literally not so long ago, in pursuit of certain humane goals, in accordance with the instructions received, on the basis of guidance documents, the troops received an order: - “In order to improve military skills, acquire established skills and theoretical knowledge, send military personnel under a contract to “Survival Courses.” Classes will be held within a specified period of time in three stages. I warn you that the issue of sending military personnel should be approached in the most serious manner. Those military personnel who refuse to participate in "Survival Courses" dismiss under the article of non-compliance with the terms of the contract on the part of the serviceman"

The instructions were distributed among the troops, established by the order. The order has been received and must be carried out. There's nothing to be done about it. The commanders of units that have such servicemen have begun to form lists for sending contract servicemen. Contract servicemen, which include not only men, but also women, were not very happy. After it became known that the planned event would be held in Spartan conditions, people generally hung their noses.

Not really for us infantry troops, these activities in the field have always been something special. The concern of higher authorities for such contract servicemen is understandable. Today society wants to see a highly professional army that is capable of fighting in any conditions, including the field.

The idea itself is not bad, but taking into account the details and trifles of this company, I will simulate a completely normal situation, to which, our fathers-commanders, are especially sorry for the high Unzhi.

Let's imagine that you contract soldier and you have five years left to serve until retirement. You have three children of different ages. You are a female military personnel without a husband. You have served for a long time and during your service you have become an excellent specialist in your field. A true professional in combat work, capable of reading and drawing the maximum number of air targets at the same time. Due to health reasons, he is still capable of service. He knows how to serve for himself and for that soldier who managed to avoid being drafted into the army. Ready to be on duty for a sick colleague at any time. Having positive ratings for passing control classes, final examination for the training period school year. Passed the standards for physical training not lower than “satisfactory”. This list could be continued further, but the task is to arrive at the “Survival Course”. You need to take all the necessary equipment and go to the designated area to gain knowledge and experience.

At first glance, everything is simple. I received the order and began to carry it out. There’s just something you don’t really want to do when you have sedentary image service and the age limit is just around the corner, as well as so many family affairs that these courses are like a bone in the throat. Now we have to choose what is more important and where it is - the moment of truth.

However, nothing can be done. The commander's attempts to delve into his personal problems do not work. The command stands its ground. And it's so clear. New times and new demands make it difficult to delve into the family and personal problems of their subordinates. Here, as in a game without rules, whoever has more rights is right.

And so, you leave the commander’s office in tears and covered in snot with only one decision - to leave on a business trip, but you don’t want to leave. Everyday life doesn't let me go. Problems, loans, sick mother, and you need to go for three and a half weeks. To the fields, in difficult conditions, to survive. Become even more professional than you really are. Learn to dig a trench under an armored personnel carrier, light a fire without matches, acquire special forces skills radio technical troops Air Force Russia, so that it has something to celebrate the centenary of the Russian Air Force. Not all of yesterday's contract soldiers are ready to make such sacrifices.

You will have to put a dismissal report on the table so that the unit commander feels more confident than he actually is. The time has come when the army can throw away specialists in their field. To replace yesterday's contract soldiers The newly minted sergeants are already on their way. They are trained and always ready for unpredictable orders from military leadership. Because they know that they receive high monetary compensation for their military work. It will be enough for them to live in conditions as close as possible to combat conditions. They are sure that there will be enough money to order themselves a pizza with mushrooms, which will be delivered straight to the trench for the armored personnel carrier. This money is enough for him to complete his duffel bag. The rest of the funds will be used to pay off the car loan and for every little detail of official activities.

Let me give you another example. He was a conscript soldier. Signed a contract. He attended sergeant school. I was on business trips in the Caucasus. Young, healthy, not married. The service and everything else suits me, but now I need to go to the “Survival Course”. Suddenly there's something inside contract soldier breaks and prevents him from going into the fields. Such a serviceman will also be fired under the same article. Contractor writes a report.

In this case contract soldier young and full of strength. In the first case contract soldier I’m not young and I don’t have much strength. Two different specialists, but the same solution - dismissal due to non-compliance with the terms of the contract on the part of the serviceman. Essentially everything is correct. There is no desire to follow orders, so quit, period. It turns out everything is simple. Today no one is holding anyone back. They won't wipe your runny nose. There is a desire to serve, but there is no desire to follow orders, quit. This statement is being heard more and more often by our bosses. It's as if they were bewitched. One gets the impression that one of the bosses does not have enough money to live on, and they are trying with all their might to squeeze their subordinates out of action as much as possible. Survival courses are not for the sake of professionalism, for the sake of fulfilling the dismissal plan. Many people see it this way.

But let's look at this problem from the other side. If the state is ready to pay a decent salary, it means that on your part there should also be a more sensitive attitude towards fulfilling your duties. In principle it is logical, but in reality it is somehow not so. It turns out that it’s not a matter of monetary allowance. Maybe it has a different meaning and is difficult to understand, although if attempts had been made to do this, maybe the solution itself in the approaches would have been different.

There is a rotation for officers, contract soldiers"Survival Courses" I think that's fair. All military personnel have to make a choice. But whether such activities will be of any use will be shown to us by the next military turmoil. Experience is hard to drink away, but you can lose it. So in order not to lose it, you need to decide for yourself what is more important, military experience or the civilian everyday life of a “soldier of fortune.”

To a greater extent, such experiments will affect those who have dreamed of quiet service for themselves. It will no longer be calm for us. Interesting times are coming every day. You need to be prepared for official “troubles” so that you can then march across the parade ground as a winner.
