November 15 - Recruit's Day

16
Every year on November 15 in Russia is the Day of the draftee. At its core, this is a set of activities whose main task is to popularize military service, as well as information training for young people of draft age for conscription service as part of the ongoing draft campaign.

The day of the recruit appeared in the calendar on the basis of the order of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin from 1992. From an order 24 years ago:
Introduce Conscript Day in order to increase the nationwide significance and prestige of military service, improve the military-patriotic education of young people.



If today these are completely everyday words, taking into account the fact that the state conducts systematic work both to popularize the service in the Armed Forces and other power structures, then in 1992, the very fact of the appearance of such an order looked symbolic. Older and middle-aged people remember very well how things were with the prestige of military service after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This prestige was actually reduced to zero. The personnel officers who took the oath to one state suddenly found themselves in another state, hardly digesting the information that there was no longer a single, big Motherland; instead, fragments that have been declared "gained freedom and independence."

It is explainable that the officers, who turned out to be in absolutely new realities, like the entire population of the country, by definition could not motivate the younger generation to defend the Fatherland. The call went as if by inertia, but the fact remained: young people at that time clearly did not have much enthusiasm from the very fact of military service, since it was difficult even to admit to myself which country needed to be protected and from whom, if it suddenly turned out that "all around are friends."

It was a real blow to the fundamentals of security, to the moral character of the army, to life values ​​and landmarks. Against this background, the decree on the need to increase the prestige of military service was very significant, only the implementation of this Yeltsin decree faced the grim truth of 90's, when the army of new statesmen trampled into the mud day after day and watered it.
Almost a quarter of a century after the appearance of a draftee on the Day calendar, the attitude to the Armed Forces in our country is completely different. And this was achieved at the cost of incredible efforts from both the state and society.

When in schools and vocational schools in the same 90s, in essence, the discipline of basic military training was destroyed, enthusiasts among teachers remained in different parts of the country who, despite throwing educational institutions with Soros’s educational debris, continued educational activities on the principles of respect for man designed to protect the homeland. In many schools, veterans of the Great Patriotic War at that time were still working as teachers of the NVP (DP, OBZH) —understood, far from young, of course, people who did their best to preserve continuity and give courage to the new generation. These are people with a steel rod who have allowed to preserve the grain of understanding the importance of military service, protecting the borders of the Fatherland, protecting the interests of the state and the people.

On the Day of the draftee I want to say such enthusiasts, real pedagogical devotees, a special thank you!

The day of the draftee today is an opportunity for the younger generation to touch not only what is called military pathos, but also to see the military life with their own eyes. The military commissariats organize excursions for schoolchildren and students to military units, where young people have the opportunity to see with their own eyes how the modern conscripts are serving. After all, it is better, as they say, to see it once, than to hear about it a hundred times, even from the media or from the mouth of your friends who have already gone through an army school of life.

November 15 - Recruit's Day


Not only young men, but also girls visit the territories of military units, where they are shown both the conditions of life and the weapons that are in the arsenal of one or another military unit. Young people can ask questions of interest and receive answers to them both from officers involved in the activities of the Recruit's Day and from military personnel undergoing “urgent”.



Questions from tomorrow's draftees and their relatives come to us - on the website "Military Review". One of the most frequent questions is related to the "possibility of extending the service life on conscription." Some sources spread rumors that the supposedly "just about" service life will change from the current 12 months to almost 2,5 years. Once again, we have to say that this is nothing more than rumors. Neither the Ministry of Defense, nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nor other power structures have plans to increase the service life of conscription. Exactly one year - this is exactly the time now, and as such it will remain in the near future.

On this day, the Military Review team appeals to all young people who, as part of this (autumn) draft campaign, will join the ranks of the Armed Forces. It is for you to forge the security of the Fatherland as part of military formations, and it is in your hands to increase the prestige of the Russian army and fleet. Do not miss your chance to serve the Motherland, because this is one of the most important duties of any man as a citizen of the Russian Federation.

      It should be like, but now many are doing the opposite. The military registration and enlistment office cannot find the conscript, and the parents, knowing that there will be nothing for them for concealment, hide the whereabouts of their son. In fairness, I must say that these are not the majority, but they are and they are on the draft board waiting for the moment when they are 27 years old and mumbled about something unintelligible and are happy to receive help instead of a military ID. Maybe the law is unfinished? School and vocational training institutions Universities also do not work out much in terms of orienting pre-conscripts and conscripts to the need to undergo conscription services, which is revealed during conscription, here the solution can only be to strengthen the joint work of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Education, in short, there is a lot of work and it needs to be done.

        Maybe there is no need for these "mice" who are mowing away from the army to drive there, let them alternatively endure the ducks, why do they need the army? ... And the parents who also shelter are generally a disgrace ..., the son will later let them come off, they will grow the ghoul ...

          I really want this day to become a real holiday for Shansuarov’s son, and for Bagdasaryan’s many friends, and for many many gifted and promising young people from the families of top managers of Russian companies.
          The army is in great need of their talent and originality.

          I would love to accept them into our friendly military team. The real case would be found by everyone.

        and mumble about something obscure and happy to help instead of a military card


        Inspired by "International Day ..."

        New 2009 year ... The eldest daughter came for a vacation from St. Petersburg to Severomorsk in order to celebrate the holiday with her family. Until one in the morning they celebrated at the table, and after that, according to Vidyaevskaya tradition, they decided to go to the square to the Christmas tree. By this time, her former classmates came behind her daughter, who were crowding in the “waiting room” in anticipation of the “lady” deigning to get dressed.

        Remembering the quote from “Two Torn Towers”, he went out into the corridor, cast a glance at the audience with a commanding gaze, and barked:

        - Who are they? How many years??? Why not in the army ?!

        You should have seen their faces ...

        Some comments:
        *and the wet floor in the "dressing room" ...

        *The babble about the fact that "... we entered the institute ..." was notable!

        *trembling and justifying falsetto?

        *Hopefully you were in uniform?

        *Not. But the guys knew that dad was a capra.

        *This is already such a level when a form for effect production is not required.

        *There, some training on admiralty hinted ... Plus a tattoo on the shoulder!

        *You are angry! And the boys were sober!

        *I'm not evil, but fair!

    deep bow to Kuzhugetich for raising the prestige of military service !!! in the 90s they tried to "mow" almost 100% of the recruits, now they go with pleasure, I have a young friend of 25 years old, graduate school, dropped everything and pulled away. you talk with the old boys - you are happy, your eyes are burning - you are constantly in the exercises, they learned the military business, and they did not build dachas.

    I will join the appeal of the site - now the future of Russia is being decided, and therefore it is necessary to honestly fulfill our civic duty to the country, to serve in the Russian army, so that the girls are proud of you, that they can walk with their heads held high after the army, and make a career like real men drinks

    You can endlessly discuss the topic of conscription, but the facts are clear - the youth went to the army. I went for several reasons:
    The routine work of popularization has borne fruit.
    The prestige and level of equipment of the aircraft has grown. It became interesting for the boys to serve.
    For youth who do not have a specialty, there are no or not enough jobs.
    The restriction on the State makes itself felt. service without army service.
    So serve the brothers!

      Cla was not the motherland. Yeltsin, Gaidar, Chubais, etc. - this is not the homeland. And your children, parents whom it is necessary to protect it, are the Homeland. Try to understand this.

    It is necessary to increase the term of conscription military service by 2 years, in the navy 2,5 years. Who can be trained in 1 year? Yesterday's schoolboy begins to feel like a soldier only by the end of this one year and has learned something, but he is already being demobilized. Enough to be guided in this respect by the opinion of various councils (committees) of soldiers' mothers and other "human rights activists" who are "blindly" used by Russia's enemies. It is necessary to interact with human rights organizations and establish order and discipline in the army so that no one is tempted to humiliate a serviceman of any level. And those who have served compulsory military service should be provided with real, not "paper" benefits associated with admission to secondary and higher educational institutions, to law enforcement, state and municipal service. And those who did not serve - restrictions. It is also necessary to develop the system of military-patriotic education of children, choosing the best from the education system of ancient Sparta "Agoge" and the education system of the USSR. Among children and youth, it is necessary to cultivate a healthy lifestyle, love in the Motherland, kindness, self-sacrifice and other positive qualities. For boys and adolescents, it is necessary to create a network of military-patriotic camps with enhanced military, physical and humanitarian training.
