56-I airborne assault brigade. Living conditions
In the middle of 2000, the brigade was rebuilt according to the federal target program for contract soldiers; therefore, the current soldiers live in Kubrikov-type hostels.
The location of the anti-aircraft battery, as I understand it, is the best part.

If you noticed, in the previous photo with a table on the wall hang photos of various aircraft. Since the battery commander of the anti-aircraft gunners is just a fan of all sorts of visual aids, then half of the corridor is covered with photos and performance characteristics of various domestic and foreign aircraft, helicopters and UAVs

The material base impresses with its titanic scope and thoroughness of decoration. I’ll frankly say that I don’t envy the soldiers of this unit, because I have to do a lot with my own hands and even buy at my own expense
12.
In general, with the material base in the army, long-standing and long-standing problems that it is time to solve, having purchased something uniform and strong enough so that every time you do not have to reinvent the wheel locally. It is clear that all this is money and money again, but ...
Various training MANPADS

For such classes here are also needed specialists who will regularly carry out service maintenance of simulators. In the meantime, the problem is solved by the “raiding” irregular method.

Remembering my being on duty, with a shudder I think how such idealism is achieved :)

Body armor in the unit is quite standard - 6B23, but in the new digital colors

Well, for a change, we will visit the hostel in which the young recruits were lodged (let me remind you that I was in the brigade at the end of October last year).
Since the buildings were rebuilt and not re-erected, in the part of the hostel there is an individual layout. For example, in this building the cubices are designed for four people.

Blankets on the beds, it turns out, a new type. They should come to replace the standard blue with stripes in the legs.
TV one to the company, standing in the hall

In winter and skiing have to run. If the snow, of course, is
30.
There are few contractors, most of them are conscripts. There are enough problems with the latter, because Despite the elite selection, people with the 4 th group of neuropsychic resistance who cannot be allowed to carry outfits with weapons still fall into the assault. And there are almost 6% of those in the brigade. They, of course, are placed in some kind of rear positions, but nevertheless there is a problem. Sadness, but we have such a young generation.
Nutrition. Meals for several years as transferred to outsourcing, and it is really good. He ate himself - liked it, the soldiers say the same thing

Two-course breakfast on Wednesdays

Well, during the field exits, military chefs from logistics units prepare food.

Repair of equipment is also transferred to outsourcing, and tadadam! The most interesting thing is cleaning the territory and premises too.
Civilians on cleaning

They clean, in principle, normal, but how it looks when applied to army realities, you can read here.
Finally, traditional videos with soldiers. Recently I have been asking more extensively about combat training, free time, impressions about the service. And often there is a phrase that lacks rigor, the army looks like a kindergarten. It's funny to hear from conscripts.
Here is a good example - the guy was waiting for some action
If suddenly one of the parents of a soldier reads, then I will give useful information. On the territory of the part there is something like a mini-hotel where you can rent a double room for 500 rubles. Shower, TV, fridge available.
Well, for me this trip was in some way a return to the old places, because For the first six months of military service in the 1998-1999, I spent the 712 training battalion stationed in the same Kamyshin as the 56 brigade. It was on the territory of the former school, which ceased to exist in 2006 year. The barracks, where I lived on the second floor (the company of gunners-operators) is now not used and empty, and now there is also a park in the park, but there are already paratroopers in it.
