"Why are they dressed randomly?" Western users surprised by the Estonian system of reservists

The Estonian Ministry of Defense previously published photographs from the ceremony of presenting commemorative badges for reservists who were called up for military training. The ceremony took place at one of the Estonian military bases and attracted the attention of Estonia's NATO partners.

After the publication of the photographs, users from Western NATO countries drew attention to the lineup of people awarded with commemorative badges.

Words of surprise are expressed at the Estonian system, in which the reservists present stand both in military uniforms and without them. Particular attention was drawn to the people who are in the central part of the formation in a T-shirt and shorts.

A few comments:

Does this mean that the Estonian guys themselves perceive the military training as an easy summer walk?

Why are they dressed anyhow?

Maybe they didn't have enough military uniforms.

It is also noted that in the Estonian system they are not in height, but the awarding itself “resembles a school event”.

If this suits Estonian commanders and military commanders, then why should it surprise others?
It is more surprising that in the ranks of the reservists there are obviously only young people who seem to be no more than 30 ... That's what you need to look at, and their bearing is good, everything is athletic ...

So it surprised me, why is the guy in shorts, but not in flip flops?

[Mitroha]

What spanking ... Serious event, he got ready. Well, it's not a village, he's standing in flip flops at such an important award

[Free wind]

In Cam Ranh, the military also had uniforms, shorts and slippers.

[Mitroha]

Such a uniform and a civilian jersey and shorts are a little different, what do you think?

Probably there are users on the site who remember the fees in the CA? Remember their gymnastics from the Great Patriotic War and other ammunition. Here everything is from poverty, from a low defense budget.
I am surprised, why do they need an army in general? Is it possible that someone conceived of conquering the freedom-loving Estonians, and they are capable of fighting back?

Westerners are unfamiliar with the word or concept "grandfather"?

It is strange that the parade in Minsk did not raise such questions from Western bloggers - there a whole "box" marched in different clothes, with different weapons, and some in caps and beards!
By the way, if any of us, now civilians, are summoned to the military enlistment office or (hallelujah!) To the Ministry of Defense, also to appear in the form of the last statutory sample? I have only "parade", "Afghan" and "birch". I will also be "in whatever".

Well, it was a box of Belarusian partisans, the main problem was with the preparation for the Parade, it was to teach them not to hear music and not to keep pace.

if any of us, now civilians, are summoned to the military enlistment office or (hallelujah!) to the Ministry of Defense

This disadvantage will pass over time. It's easier for me, I have already been deregistered and the "parade" only for my last event in my life.

And from the article it is not clear that these military training sessions were not held in ... the gym

[voyaka uh]

Quite normal. This is a rewarding event, not a military exercise.
And so it was with us. You could stay in military uniform, but you can
it was after the training camp to change into civilian clothes.
And we have never built by height.

Does Israel and Estonia have their own idea of ​​the system?

We have no formation at all. The first thing the commander says:
"Soldiers, sit down!" All sit on the ground, and then the officers
(standing!) speak their speeches.

Maybe I don't understand something, how then the rewarding takes place, the movement in the parade line, the movement of the columns, like a herd of sheep?
Excuse me for the sarcasm

[voyaka uh]

There is no parade structure. We don't hold parades.
There are no marching columns either. They are brought to the line of hostilities.
And then - two "snakes" along the roadside. Keeping intervals.
Have you seen the Houthis fighting? So it looks like us.

In Israel, after the hard war of 1973, they decided once and for all:

Yes, here and the eastern users ride with laughter!

[Junior Private]

So the Armed Forces of the Baltic Tigers have the doctrine of shock partisan formations. For caches, form is rather harmful.

[sabakina]

The West is surprised .... Well, the guys did not have a uniform! So what? Was it necessary to come in panties? I am personally surprised by something else. Secondly, the photo is clearly staged. Thirdly, I would write a couple more blunders for this photo session, but I'm sorry, I'm a lot drunk.

[Prisoner]

Can't wait? Changing soon. Well, how soon? Well, they will try. And they will sort it out by ranking ... Soon. Let the photographer for-a-a-a-a-a-a-tomorrow come-e-e-e-t.

[Ilshat]

There are not many who want to go to the training camp, so they are allowed without a uniform ...

[Free wind]

If they had seen our partisan reservists, and what they were doing in the "battle for the harvest", some soldiers did not even know where the collective farm fields were in a month. ... Oh, the infection, I did not get there, the head of the radish, arranged swearing at the military registration and enlistment office or in the district committee. you can say I was armored. And the Estonians, it seems unemployed fools, something like that.

It's simple:
- beggars in camouflage, living on social benefits and without clothes, other, acroma camouflage issued by the Ministry of Defense of Estonia
- in shorts - the middle class of the Republic of Estonia (there in July is higher than +20 in the shadow)

[Poetry]

Maybe that's why, the NATO command,
The slow Estonians were given the order:
"Don't throw a grenade at an Estonian soldier."
(otherwise, on the backswing, it will hit just)

Yeah.

Why are you all sticking to the Estonian military "might"? There are not enough pants for everyone and the turn of these "heroes" to wear military pants has not yet come!

Of course, it is harmful, a blue or yellow T-shirt and shorts in the forest are the most, especially for disguise!

Ha. sucked the sensation from the finger. Fu.
It's like a conscription, only older ..

"who were called up for military training." - did not pass now, but were called once. The form has already been handed over back to the warehouse or has been outgrown ...

[Metallurg_2]

Well, it's just that some of the Chukhonts did not realize that they were summoned to the training camp.
