Take off, paper rocket

Take off, paper rocket

I read how others suffered in their service, the horror is simple, I also decided to throw a couple of lines, so, for starters. Still solidarity.

Twisting


When he was the commander of a division of the missile regiment of the OS type, he served easily and carefree. There were three divisions in the regiment, a group of OESZO and a platoon of material support, that, in fact, were all divisions, not counting the management.



The arrangement is generally sloppy.

On Monday, preparation for combat duty with passing tests before lunch and checking the appearance and documentation for intercession, after lunch, somewhere around 19:00-21:00, as you're lucky.

Tuesday. Arrival at the barracks at 06:00 and departure for a divorce with the division fully equipped.

At about 08:00 departure to the positional area, which was 100 kilometers away. Well, if it wasn't winter.

If it’s winter, then the trip there was somewhat delayed for about twenty kilometers. Yes, and the last leg of the journey often had to be overcome on MT-LB. The wind in the mug, and I spit. Fun!

Sometimes I had to walk five kilometers in the snow and still drag things and a supply of food for three or four days of duty.

Upon arrival at the central position, they were divided into guards, the soldiers received food from the warehouse, the senior officer from the duty shift was appointed.

Having baptized them and wishing to reach and not get lost, he let people go on guard. Soldiers often had a dilemma about what to take with them from food and what to throw away. After all, you had to pull all these cans on yourself, and then make soup or porridge out of them.

And not each of them was able to walk 5-20 km to his guard, which guarded the launcher. The officer usually walked in front and trampled their way, and the two of them followed in his footsteps so as not to get lost. Usually they went out to change hours at 12 noon, and came back at best at six in the evening, and then from nearby guards.

It was impossible to change the most distant ones in a day, and they waited there until the morning together with the officer, because it was not at all ice to go back through the snowy field at night.

Upon arrival at the guard, the soldiers undressed almost completely, because their “belugas” were soaked through with sweat, and then dried their things until the morning.

And I also had to scoop out a tank of feces, otherwise it was very difficult to go to the toilet. After all, he was filled with them. Water also had to be obtained by oneself, because MT-LB often broke down or solariums reached the limit.

Now it's better, but ten years ago everything was very sad. He saved snow in winter, and wells in summer.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - combat duty.

Friday back, arriving around 18:00 or around midnight, as luck would have it.

But upstairs they lied that the shift was over long ago. But what, why irritate the authorities? Then it will irritate you to no avail. After all, the problems of drowning people are the problems of drowning people themselves.

Saturday - PCB


Sunday is a sports festival or an idiotic formation, or problems with the soldiers, or someone did not step into the outfit, or someone, on the contrary, had a great walk after the shift from combat duty and beat someone, or someone beat him. Well, and so on.

Monday - you go to a lesson with a security group of another defending division, Tuesday - preliminary training.

Wednesday - shooting or something else, write-off of property or a trip at your own expense in a personal car to the positional area to eliminate shortcomings in the guards.

Thursday - again preparation for the intercession on combat duty, Friday - intercession, and until Tuesday.

And it's like this all the time.

There were, of course, deviations like all kinds of exercises, when you left for the region not for three or four days, but for seven or ten, or fourteen days.

There was no such freebie in the SPU regiments, they steadily left every six months for 30 days in the forest to feed mosquitoes or ticks, as they were lucky.

And there were also short-term exercises, like ours, all sorts of checks, the “sudden” and final ones were especially cool.

This is the top of rocket art, just a top without a roof, because the bottom, as I already said, was on the minus twelfth floor, where there was a toilet and beds for the resting calculation of the RAP.

And when you return, it's the same again.

There were, of course, weekends, but rarely.

Why are they military?

He has a wife for this.

One or two days off per month is a harsh and necessary norm for the commander of a valiant division. He should hold the wheel of a car, and buy household appliances or clothes for the family, having gone to the nearest city, it’s not all the same for his wife to drag both the child and the purchases.

Outfits


And there were also outfits that flew to the division commander, since the deputy regiment commanders were reluctant to wear them.

Here is why.

This refers to the outfit on duty at the connection.

His whole trick was that he personally had to go around all military facilities and leave a record there, and dig up shortcomings. And since I served in the largest division, there were a lot of objects to check there.

So let's start: ten barracks of regiments and six more barracks of rear units. Four dormitories, four checkpoints, a fire brigade, two headquarters, two educational buildings, a VOKhR guard, a commandant's office and a car park. Three canteens, too - during meals.

And that's all - one duty officer on the connection.

Usually the round began at about eight in the evening and lasted until four in the morning. Then work at the computer and print out the report to the person responsible for the connection, which was provided at 05:50 at the formation, and then filed.

Then the division commander or the chief of staff could hear you on the phone and immediately remove you, or remove you a little later, or remove you altogether in the evening because some duty officer at the checkpoint let the wrong person through. I was taken off once for the bulls that the regimental commanders threw in front of the entrance to the barracks, after an ostentatious lesson by the chief of staff of the division.

As I recall, such a joyful smile spreads all over my kind, non-round face. There was a time, however, it has remained the same now, if it has not become worse.

I especially liked it when in one barracks, where an officer served as a regiment on duty, a divisional officer was appointed from among the officers and ensigns for every day, a regimental officer from among the deputies of the regiment commander and also the head of the anti-sabotage formation, of the same category of officers -ensigns, who spent the night in the barracks.

And yet it often did not help.

Yes, and how it could help, when many did not care. Why do they need soldiers when he did not see his family, not all wives understand this, someone could make a scandal.

There were especially many interesting things when the notorious 400th order began to operate.

But it is already completely different. story, although I know a couple of dozen very interesting examples, but who is interested in them?

Yes, I completely forgot, a couple of times I had to step into the outfit on duty for the regiment, being a lieutenant colonel. And what to do if your subordinate officer had a nice walk the day before and came with such a fumes that it is simply impossible not to notice him.

And to spend the night in the barracks of the division commander as a person in charge for the New Year is generally the norm.

All the same, the son saw his father only in a dream. Because you left when he was still sleeping, and came when he was already sleeping. It wasn't always like this, of course, I'm exaggerating, but, unfortunately, it was.

PS


So I think that pilots at all times have had a worse life than rocket scientists. Complex equipment, flights, route and other meteorology.

It's no big deal rocketmen: they sit in the warmth on the minus eleventh floor and press all sorts of buttons, practicing training with the VZU. Yes, endless teas are chasing for days on end, but with delicious buns. Beauty! True, when something happens with the equipment, it is often not a laughing matter.

          And stubborn and do not need to prove anything. It does not affect the size of the pension. It is necessary to prove to those who climb into power. They proved it to Putin - they received an 8,6% addition to their pensions. It is necessary to conduct a dialogue with sober-minded people. With stubborn - useless, and even harmful. They are stubborn, often just energy vampires. To maintain vitality, they need to bring someone out of mental balance. Why indulge them?

                And this is still not a word about how many military crossings across the country, about how children suffer from this, that the den does not have a normal career because of this, and so on.
                By no means do I want to say that working in an ambulance is easy and adequately paid, this is not at all the case. Doctors really work hard for a penny from dawn to dusk. But believe me, when you are practically not at home at all, and instead of your children you are babysitting soldiers, this is a very big difference.

                  hi
                  IMHO, doctors, like the military, work / serve in different ways.

                  For example, there is a doctor in the clinic from "9 to 18", "there are arms and legs - get a certificate about this."

                  And there are operating doctors who, in addition to planned operations, also go to "emergency" ones (this is when "they brought the" beaten from an accident, "we also call for air ambulance"). And those who go on daily duty, and then passed the duty - voila, a new working day, because there are no doctors.
                  Here, by the way, dexterity is needed: if the shift doctor tries to jump out of the window from the ordinary life, then you need to catch him by the belt of his trousers, and rest against the window sill with his chest - otherwise you can not hold it and you can also fly out the window.
                  And at home in this mode you can sleep, and you can sleep even while sitting - because they don’t wake you up at home.

                  Well, doctors have advantages that are inaccessible, IMHO, to a military man in a bunker:
                  You can take a child to work and not only see it, but also show him the inside of life (together with the police). And you can feed the baby with hospital food. True, if both parents are doctors and both are on duty or on call, then it’s a bit scary to leave a child at 4 years old at home (but you can put it in the staff room). But the rules, the Hippocratic oath - it's like an oath and all that.

                The article is just fine. There are such holes, but what's there - holes and asses. And no matter what commander you put in - well, he won’t change the climate, he won’t plant a grove on a bare hill with permafrost, he won’t move the station and the Buryat village five kilometers closer to the unit and a couple of five-story buildings. And the snow from September to May will not melt. If he doesn’t build a kindergarten with a school, he won’t build an unfortunate shop. So people will walk 5 km back and forth to the train passing twice a day for lemonade.
                Do you know why the GKChPist Yazov was fondly remembered? He, being a commander in Dauria, planted stunted poplars in the town. Have taken root. And there was also Khada Bulak wink

                Later, either times have changed, or I ... have become worse ... I notice that both envious people and "admirers" of houses and housing have acquired households ... And I ... changed the barracks in the barracks to a two-room apartment with a settlement (apartment 8 sq. meters, instead of a cabinet - a box from under the refrigerator ...) ...

                As I remember now, the evening divorce: "So, l-you, dinner is for you, - here's the money, go ahead!"
                With this money, based on the amount of l / s, the need for Kcalories, 10 kg of dumplings, 6 kg of Doctor's sausage came out for dinner ... Bread, I confess, was dragged from the dining room ... Let me remind you - this whole horde was canteen x room apartment ... Instead of cranes, hoses pinched with wire, instead of a toilet bowl, a hole in the pipe, beds in two tiers, in shifts ...
                Families, wives? To parents, to study!

To say that you can’t beat another, wipe his snot, protect him from those who are bolder and stronger, force him to serve who doesn’t want to. Always see only the barracks, never go abroad on vacation, even when you have money for this, and even on vacation to solve those problems that have accumulated, and not to rest. Dangle around the garrisons, live in a service apartment, each time losing the acquired things in the form of collapsed furniture or sold for a penny. I moved five times from place to place.

About 420-450 people worked in the Department, from 3 to 7 died a year - machine operators, along with equipment, went under the ice, installers burned out with gas explosions. At the same time, responsibility - if even after a few years the welded joint on the pipeline bursts (and the head of the section signs for each joint), then all three will be imprisoned: a welder, a laboratory assistant, who "shone" the joint and the head of the section.

      Every person always has a choice. And each person always has some understanding of their capabilities. In order not to torment oneself with service, it was necessary to have at least some kind of anchor in civilian life. What anchor can you have when you didn’t have a father and you almost became an orphan at the age of 15. Going home, where it was even worse, is stupidity. I could always leave the army, but was it better for me? That is why he continued to serve. 70% of my classmates quit within the first five years. Another 20% did not even reach retirement age. I retired among the last having served an apartment and a pension. Yes, I am a pessimist and for me the glass is half empty, while for you it is half full. I have always had a highly developed sense of duty and even if I was weak in some ways, but when others left, I wiped my snot, calmed down and moved on. Everyone has their own understanding. You never saw a soldier in your service, you never mentioned them, but I drank the soldier's porridge with them in full. So don't judge yourself. I honestly think your stories are not serious, but this is my personal subjective opinion. Just different stories come to mind in connection with this.

          Here you are again for yours. And this is not a mess in fact, this is the specifics of the service, the mess was in another, but there is no point in telling it. I have never seen anything funny and cool in the service. Funny cases are very primitive and based on booze and stupid jokes. What is interesting about who got drunk and how? And who and to whom pestered? How do officers differ from an engineer or a collective farmer in this? So let's not.

            Dear Aleksey, you must admit that if everything that you described here could be seen conditionally through all twenty (or some) years of service, somewhere in the middle of this process, the military man would definitely fall into a fool. Why isn't this happening? Well, you know - without the "relaxation" that you described above and described, well, nothing. Yes, they drink, yes, they are outrageous and morally do not shine sometimes. Are there any other methods to overcome the conditions of service and the nonsense that comes from the higher authorities? I finished my service as deputy commander of the Topol regiment, served as a division commander for two years - this is a slightly different division than you had. I heard a lot of idiotic orders in our non-combatant troops - above the roof - from cutting down the coolant drain taps on the equipment - so that the antifreeze fighters do not get drunk and up to a fragment of a ditch 5m wide (with water, of course), around the BSP. With the creation of caponiers around the "Kron".
            Why am I ... Now, under another glass with former colleagues, we recall with pleasure and love, among other things, these tick-mosquito trips, jokes on superiors, funny situations associated (horror!) And with drinking, and with other "improper" acts. In other words, "it is necessary to serve beautifully" - I don’t remember who said. As for those who tell here about our whining and undeserved benefits - spit. Don't get involved. Long-range, not to die in peacetime, simply because a fighter dropped a grenade and he, a dunce, must be saved for his mother, as the same Solntsev did. Or like those at the start with Nedelin... Dixi.

              I agree, I served in Yury, Kozelsk, Tatishchevo, Nizhny Novgorod region, I was on business trips in Perm, KapYar, Tagil, Teikovo, Vladimir. I also know the Perimeter system, I was on duty on all types of Signal except for the newest one. I just wanted to write, but I have stories for a book, but I only remember the bad. And what was good? Barracks, field exits, eternal problems? The only good thing was the school. I was a battalion commander for 8,5 years, I commanded four different battalions in different regiments and with different equipment, you can’t explain this to a stupid long-range combatant who, apart from his Kamaz, knows nothing and can’t. And he doesn't care about others. But this is my opinion.

                      Yes, I have already encountered several times on different sites with representatives of this profession, and everyone has a derogatory attitude towards the military profession. The funny thing is, my former sergeant works as a long-range truck driver and he knows perfectly well where it is easier. In the army, he received 45 tons and was constantly away from home. He gets 70-80 tons as a long-distance trucker and also doesn’t go home, but he can take a rest for a couple of weeks, as he likes, that’s the whole difference.

              With all due respect, truckers have their own situations for "breathing" in peacetime. I did not find how many officers died from the inept actions of conscripts and how many truckers died as a result of an accident. But it can be assumed that there are still more dead truckers.
              The extreme incident with a grenade known to me is 2014, when the commander of the unit, Serik Sultangabiev, who saved the soldier. Fortunately, he survived, but was seriously injured. By the way, the culprit of the emergency was not a green conscript, but a sergeant. And truckers die every year.
              The number of trucker-related accidents has increased seven-fold over the past year, according to insurers. Drama is added by statistics from the labor inspectorate, according to which last year, at least nine truckers died at their workplace. The causes of death are not so much accidents as sudden health problems. It also depends on the fact that the average age of a trucker is growing and on the fact that people in this profession do not have the opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The regiment will be recruited. There will obviously be more dead on the Kursk, on crashed combat aircraft, etc. Does it say something? About, for example, that the same trucker, on the orders of the dispatcher or on his own initiative, must consciously sacrifice his life? No. There is a fine line here, what distinguishes the military profession from the rest. I agree, now this line is blurring, hence our discussion. The world of the filthy bastard.

I will say more, not all of the rocket men can withstand it and many do not like it, and they go to other units not related to combat duty. I have rights B, C. I can drive many cars and even tractors. But I learned to carry the database and know the technique perfectly a year later and they often insured me so that I would not make mistakes, even in training sessions.

It is understandable that a nuclear physicist will be able to trade in the market, and a trader will not be able to work at a nuclear power plant. The question was in terms of service / work. And you can also teach some brainy trucker to carry the database and know the technique.

    somehow far 100 km to the PR. We have 40-50 km on Voevody, and from PR to guards with launchers from 10 to 20 km. But I only remember once that we did not get to the guard itself, we had to stomp about 1 kilometers with snowdrifts. And so usually the roads to the PU were rowed with BATs constantly. But perhaps this is the specificity of the V / H. After all, we had a division, more and more opportunities ....
    As for water, you are right. The butt was. We were closed for a week in the guardhouse together, and there was only one flask for 40 liters. Each launcher had a well, they collected a flask, then boots from the OZK and hung them on the walls by garters. In general, boots without holes were very much appreciated by the guards)) The first 4 days they drank normal water, then 3 days with various unforgettable flavors))

      We left the location of the division for the database at 6 in the morning. At 10, already from the positional area, they dispersed to the guards. at 12-13 days we were already on duty, and by 15-16 those who had been replaced fell off in the PR. By 18-19 they were already in the division.

      “Where are we good then?” - on the Arbat, and in similar places in Moscow. good There was a very calm service in the academies (I'm not talking about students and cadets). Most believe that getting to serve in Moscow is happiness, but not everything is so simple. Father was called up in 1944 from Moscow, in 1967 he was transferred there to the headquarters of the district. But - without providing housing, which he never received from him (and this is after a three-ruble note in the garrison). The four of us lived in a room in a communal apartment, which was given to us by his father, my grandfather. The service consisted of constant business trips to regiments and training grounds - on average, twice a month for a week. My father is in his 44s, and so is my mother. He retired in XNUMX with the note "limited fit in wartime."

              If you are talking about snow and so on, then the situation has improved a lot, as for the attitude of the authorities, then the rank of colonel is a kind of metamorphosis with people and they simply destroy others. For example, I personally heard the division commander allow himself to say to a senior officer that it would be better if your father finished in a fist than in your mother. And I wasn't the only one who heard it. So what? Never mind. Another case. The lieutenant colonel, who was indignant at the bestial attitude, was simply transferred to another division, former colleagues told me about this. The deputy commander of the division drives on additional classes on Sunday officers from among those who take up combat duty and closes the training corps with a key, and he leaves and arrives at 14.00. Write about it? I'm afraid the article will simply not be missed. I was asked by colleagues to write a book about the mess, but there is no particular desire, why scare people? Many people just won't believe it. And because of my character, they transferred me to another regiment, because I was not silent. They rotted me in every possible way, forced me to give physicals an extraordinary time and my entire division, in order to restore against me, they didn’t let me close for a year and a half, there are the number of days a year, they didn’t give days off, they encouraged my subordinates against me, they specially paid more bonuses to my deputy than to me. In general, the whole spectrum of administrative resources. I myself am to blame for this, because I was not restrained in my language and openly resented the bestial attitude, but there is no point in writing about this. So yes.

                  Hello Michael!
                  Write about painful things, how it was, and how it should have been done, perhaps your memories will come in handy for someone.


                  The Author should not write about painful things, because, apparently, his whole body hurts, and the service is not to blame.
                  Firstly, the OS regiments are revered as sanatoriums in the Strategic Missile Forces. Those who transferred to the OS from the PGRK, especially being more or less commanders and chiefs, piss with boiling water with happiness. The conditions and mode of service are simply incomparable.
                  Secondly, regarding the "mess". I believe that in one way or another it is present in any army in the world and in any type / type of troops. In essence, these are the omissions of specific commanders, and not a pathological defect in the organization.
                  Here, for example, is a full-blooded division of five regiments. Three regiments serve, although not without individual quirks, but on the whole - smoothly. In another regiment, the morale is below the baseboard, constant squabbles between officers, combat readiness is under threat. The commander of the regiment drove - "Plasticine". A new NSh regiment is appointed, a young, energetic and purposeful captain, without an academy, who immediately became a major ahead of schedule (in general, this is nonsense, but it happened). The regiment is transformed in six months, takes the lead, no squabbles.
                  Another regiment is quite combat-ready, but sins with drunkenness and fornication, constantly causing heavenly punishment to the entire officer community from the political department. The commander's nickname is "Petya the gonorrhea". Is it necessary to say what has changed in the regiment with the change of commander?
                  And, by the way, often the mess is created just by pessimists-mourners, who are not happy about everything, but it doesn’t even occur to them to try to change something - it’s much easier to whine!
                  And the rocket strategists have fun and funny stories through the roof! BUT! Wherever you spit, you will find yourself in something very secret. And it is often impossible to get around these uncomfortable topics without losing the meaning of the story. That is why rocket men amuse themselves with memoirs and jokes in a narrow circle.
                  Yours faithfully,
                  hi

                        Take it higher.
                        But now he is already in the military-industrial complex in a very decent orbit.

                      You live in completely different memories.

                      Why the memories. I still have the opportunity "in nature" to observe all this. And in the last twenty-five years - not only the Strategic Missile Forces (in fact, he served in the Strategic Missile Forces only fifteen out of almost forty).

                      I served in all types of regiments

                      Permian? Kostroma?
                      And don't mention PBU. hi

                        I was on a business trip in Perm. And you seem to be an RTB worker, and then you moved to GUMO 12 and work at a military plant. Although what's the difference, I'm, for example, just an unemployed pensioner at 47 years old. It is worth writing a separate article about finding a job in the regional center. Yes, only I know what comments will already be. So the nerves are more expensive.

                        To be honest, I wanted to answer harshly, and then I thought why cling to the poor. Is it the writer's bad imagination? Everything is in order with logic and imagination. So, goodbye dear comedian.

                        Minus you. And not so much for rudeness, but for disrespect for my native and our state language, writer.

                        Accepted! I have a rating of minus 14000 on this site. Rudeness always respond to the pathos of the audience. No need to consider yourself smarter than others and subtle jokes with bold hints frankly tire me. And as for rudeness, not everyone knows where to soar. This is the second time I've come across people who carefully hide themselves, but at the same time allow themselves to delve into the biographies of others. Therefore, I don’t consider it necessary to be tolerant, it’s better to be a boor than ... well, I think you have already formed an opinion about yourself.

                and my whole division to rebuild against me

                if you are a good officer, your soldier will never go against you.
                So the extra physical hardly helped your "opponents"))

          On alert, readiness # 1, being the head of a shortened combat crew, the arrival time at the workplace is 15 minutes. The distance from the town is 3 km, summer autumn spring is normal, and in winter there were no paths, let alone roads. But they managed even from the position of the wife from below.

    It's nice there where we do not exist. winked Service everywhere is not honey. No wonder they joked that it was hard to serve for the first 25 years. Then you get hooked.

    Five sheets of tears from a lieutenant colonel who, for some unknown reason, served and suffered so hard? If you served, so cry, but if you want to tell, then don’t smear these snot on the keyboard - how hard it was for me ..

      God, there's bound to be someone to pick it up and screw it all up! They write to you as everything is, and you see only what you yourself want to see. Well, you are not ashamed at all, you are not humiliating me, but yourself! Or do you think that if someone wrote something, then you have the right to slander him? It's just the level of your culture and that's it.
