"If it were very cold, they would have canceled physical training": about the everyday life of a US Army soldier from the Autobahn

Everyday life in the armies of the countries of the world can be similar to the everyday life in the army of Russia. But, of course, there are differences and peculiarities.

For obvious reasons, making a report by Russian journalists in the military units of the NATO armies is something impossible (as of today). Therefore, Vera (Dera) Poltavtseva, a Russian-speaking serviceman of the US armed forces, will help us at least a little look behind the scenes of American military service. She serves in a unit that would sound like an autobat to us.



Leaving his apartment (a typical American low-budget housing with several tiers with common external spans), the author of the video says that it is not so cold outside now, and if it were cold, physical training would be canceled.

In the US Army, when we drive out in a particular car, we must have the right to that particular car. If I have civil rights, this does not mean that I can now go in an army truck.


The author of the video, in which there are many scenes from ordinary civilian life, says that the US Army has a rule: before being sent on any business trip, a soldier must undergo a fairly extensive medical examination - for sight, hearing, donate blood for analysis, etc. For women- For military personnel, this procedure includes a check for pregnancy.

          On Monday, she said that due to the weather, physical training could be canceled. There may be a misconception that people there are very dependent on comfortable conditions. This is not true.

            Initially, it would be strange to think so, because not everyone in the army is ideologically pumped up Texan marines or the elite, ready to ride through the mountains for days in full body kit.
            Most of them are ordinary staff, cooks, instructors, technicians, accountants, drivers, pilots, etc.
            There is no sense in freezing them or somehow gesturing on the PHY. There is no practical sense, and hard training without injuries and sores is impossible.

          Well, this is BEFORE a business trip, and if she gets pregnant there?

            It may very well be that since the army pays for the trip, it imposes certain restrictions, in particular on sex life.
            So if she gets pregnant there, she will have big problems)

          And if you imagine that there was a war between the United States and Russia, it seems like a Russian and will have to kill Russians. And there are in fact a lot of Russians in the US Army or those with Russian roots.

      Yes! This is not this for you ....
      NATO Marines training in northern Norway, in the Finnmark region, refused to perform a combat training mission in the absence of insulated toilet cubicles

      The soldiers of Germany, called up for the recent exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance, prematurely left the place of training maneuvers in close proximity to Russia due to the fact that they were not paid overtime. The German military explained their demarche by exceeding the working time limit per week.

      The author of the video, in which there are many scenes from ordinary civil life

      A lot? There are only such scenes and there are + scenes in the car.

      The story about how her husband repaired the car, how she was taken away, how she paid the fine and repairs - is this all for what? What is this video about?

      Guys, well, here about the army, only that it appears in the frame in military uniform.

      PS
      I cannot understand former compatriots who go to serve in a foreign army.
      I can't even look at it neutrally.
