Ministry of Defense revives the sign "Warrior-athlete"

In the near future, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will establish the distinction "Warrior-athlete". Receiving an award will give servicemen advantages when they are appointed to higher positions, News.

The government instructed the Ministry of Defense to enter the sign in 2012, but it took 6 years for internal approval. All necessary documents must be signed in August.

The ministry has not yet decided whether the “Warrior-Athlete” will be “backed up” by a cash surcharge. After all, now the military receive additional payments for their sporting achievements. For example, an individual who passes the first grade receives an additional 80% salary for a military position.

New soldiers, sergeants, warrant officers (warrant officers) and officers with at least 3 grade in military-applied sports, including rope pulling, throwing grenades, swimming with a gun, etc. will be rewarded.

In the Soviet army, servicemen were also awarded the “Warrior-Athlete” sign. It was established in 1964 year. The award was considered prestigious among conscripts.

The thicker the muscle, the higher the military career. And for prosecutors, for example, they measure their stomachs. Today, brains are not held in high esteem.

Everything from the fact that the current stupid head power can not come up with anything of its own. In addition to stealing and parasitizing people, under "pseudo-patriotic" slogans. They are at war with the Soviet legacy and with the history of the USSR. And their “innovations”, “modernizations” and “optimizations” are moving the country more and more towards a cesspool. And then they “remembered” you ... And then, like the “newest” weapons, they will pass off as theirs.

Sincerely.

It's time...

I have one in the closet in a conspicuous place. I am still proud that I deserved it, although it was 36 years ago!

And was it worth it to cancel before this, like much else since the days of the USSR?

[Major Yurik]

Yehh, once had the so-called golden badge of an athlete warrior!

[bouncyhunter]

Yura, hello! But I didn’t know that the RF Armed Forces didn’t have such a sign ... In Belarus, it exists and has not been canceled after the collapse of the USSR (fie on Humpbacked!).

It costs a lot ! I have a "runner" of 1 degree.

[Major Yurik]

Hi Paul! Once upon a time we were trotters Although now (pah pah), in principle, I am doing what I did before, only a little slower.
They do it right for you, why cancel what brings the result!

[Mar.Tirah]

They probably realized that with some champions programmers we will not go far? We need to motivate young people to play sports.

Most likely it was not canceled, but simply forgotten ....

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

It was high time, we still need to introduce a special standard for the “Guardsman” badge and assign this title not for the fact of serving in the guards, but for merits in combat training !!!
To promote, you can introduce a material allowance to the owner of these signs. Those who try to serve should be encouraged ...

[sxfRipper]

Totally agree with you.

[rotmistr60]

Glorious VSK in Soviet times, which was deservedly a distinctive sign of a soldier (sergeant) - a cadet of a military school. Interestingly, another turn to return.

[VeteranVSSSR]

Probably the TRP, and each sodate had a VSK badge, whatever you might say, but what else to do in your free time, and even surrender to VSK every six months.

There were such guys in the 1980s. One guy from Moscow served with me, a plump, plump, and with a Jewish surname. So he really didn’t know how the shoelaces were tied. He was given a parade in the city to leave for dismissal because his parents arrived. It was still on KMB. so he seriously replied to the sergeant that his mother bought Velcro sneakers and shoes with zippers (all this was very fashionable at that time) and he was not familiar with the laces in any way.
PS In the video, the guy is simply unassembled, thinking about something about his own, about the girl's. You just need to educate him harder so that you are not distracted. And then it will not be in itself "where are the mittens, where are the stripes." Okay, still mittens with stripes, because you can sow an automatic machine.

[Heterocapsa]

it’s good, there will be less drunken faces on an innocent vacation to die drunk. As recently, two of the Navy on the lake. I don’t feel sorry for the Alkonauts.

I do not want to offend anyone with my post, but ... what was, what was. The beginning of the 90s, from the unit where he served the term, after arriving from 21 naval crews to the unit, a week or two, two or three sailors escaped (yes, yes, it was like that, military unit 22938, Nakhodka-5). , there were repeated cases of escape, so, to such styers, our demobilization, the "Warrior-athlete" badge were hung in Dutch.

Ministry of Defense revives the sign "Warrior-athlete"

Well, I remember:
"if rest, then active;
if a holiday, then sports!

[Doliva63]

"... officers with at least 3 ranks in military-applied sports ..."
Something seemed to me that for the release it was necessary to have not only 3 category, but not one, not?

[Doliva63]

"who has passed on the first category additionally receives 80% of a salary on a military post."
Damn, this is how much they would pay me for all categories!
Eh, youth

[konstantin68]

I have such a 1 degree.

"Receiving an award will give military personnel advantages in appointing to higher posts" - This is complete nonsense. At the moment, those who need it receive higher positions. I know one very intelligent guy already in the contract service for 10 years, clever, athletic, higher education. In some technical matters, some officers are more literate. Leaves the service. For all the time, he only deserved a corporal. Why, because normal, not zadoliz.

[Avis-bis]

"Athlete Warrior." Receiving an award will give military personnel advantages in appointing to higher posts

Damn it ... That is, brains are not needed?
