        It is necessary to revive the army, and not to reduce everything without exception. No army, no state. He himself served under Yazov, and I know very well that the army was then at its best. Thanks for the selection.

        "took us to the sausage!" - yes, there was no bread, but there were more than enough "spectacles" .... Comrade Suslov's agit-machine "worked" tirelessly .. article - a balm for the soul for many on this site laughing another window dressing a la the USSR, a beggar, but very proud ... and the photos of physical exercises in gymnasts and boots were especially amusing - neither mind nor imagination .. I hope my comment "blindly" will not be deleted, as admins do here with other "objectionable" ones. ..

            NOT TRUE said. I served in the early 80s - no one was repairing boots with thread from tires. And the soldiers we went neat and clean.
            Although, there is such a thing - "the pig will always find dirt" And no one has canceled the "fly and bee" syndrome in the psyche. What a person wants, what is closer to him - that he sees.

              Well, yes. I actually then was filled with a sense of patriotism and got up on Sunday so as not to miss serving the Soviet Union. And that’s why I saw this. Probably because it was. Here, even in one ostentatious photo, soldiers in overcoats. And overcoats crumpled! and this is a flashy photo.
              Yes, and pay attention to the pants of sailors in a self-propelled gun collecting mushrooms or for the commander it doesn’t matter. And then who is lying here? The pants are dirty. Most likely they collected them by crawling)))))))))))

                But do you know what is not in the armies of NATO countries? But there isn’t that in the unit ahead of time they know that the inspection will come and they don’t know that they can be visited by the Minister of Defense. There are special cases when, for example, it is connected with a celebration.

                  In our part, in ironed form and torn boots, mostly Moldovans walked. But everywhere they left their autographs. On each tree, on each free section of the fence, in all the outhouses on the walls it was written - Moldova, Bender, Cahul, Beltsy, etc., etc.
                  It was in the GSVG in the 80s.
                  A cool photo collection. It seems like he’s been in the past. But they were afraid of us then. In Washington, fart towards Moscow and not only Moscow. but Chisinau, Kiev, Minsk, Tbilisi, Yerevan and many other Soviet cities were AFRAID !!!

                    Well, I’m from Moldova. And in Moldova there were soldiers from other republics. And it wasn’t their fault that the boots were torn and they didn’t give out others. And I know why it’s so painful to admit to you. Yes, because a lot has not changed.

                      Yes, the supply chain never went dirty! Rave!
                      In any part of the supply chain, first of all, they dressed themselves and shoes!
                      Personally, for 2 years I was given 3 pairs of boots, and at any moment you could still get it.
                      If you yourself didn’t serve and you don’t know what’s what, then you don’t need to water with mud.
                      And for the whole battalion we had two Moldovans ....... There was no need to tell jokes!

        Chukhanov at all times is enough. A normal person in any conditions remains a person. I didn’t have to darn my boots. We simply could not physically demolish them to such an extent. And if their coats were wrinkled or dirty, they would clean and iron. Sorry, we didn’t have any nannies or laundresses. This is what the army needs in order to defend the Homeland and make real men out of males. And about the boots, maybe you drank them, but you yourself went in a rag. Just do not rivet the Soviet army.

        But I served in the USSR army for 15 years, and 17 years in the Russian. The best memories are, of course, associated with the Soviet period. There was an unshakable conviction that our army was the strongest in the world. It was not for nothing that the Soviet Union pledged not to use nuclear weapons first. This is because by general forces we could restrain the aggression of ANY adversary. And now - all hope for strategic nuclear forces ...

      This is exactly, if not in "smoked", not in the subject, mind and imagination are not required to joke at all. Dear man, you were confused by the green leaves on the trees. Meanwhile, the form of clothing No. 3 (? Eh, old age is not a joy, I have already begun to forget) for physical exercises was put on from a certain temperature. Much below + 18C. Boots are casual shoes. Running, pulling up, flipping up, on the uneven bars is a normal workout. In a combat situation, he will not change his shoes. Sneakers, sneakers were worn only in the gym.

If you were standing at the border, it means it was probably at the training ground and the exercises were always there. I, too, under Ustinov’s grandfather, was called up and quit too, by the way I have a photo where I stand with the USSR Minister of Defense D.F.Ustinov, they gave me extraordinary leave for excellent service and for the successful completion of a special task. There were 4 people awarded to the regiment’s news. The demobilization is 3 months, and to us in a solemn atmosphere at the training ground, the minister announces the vacation and we rush on vacation by train to Brest and home. .... Yes!

      There was a country and there was an army that defended it. Look at the faces of the soldiers, they obviously did not suffer from dystrophism and malnutrition, although they were up to their ears loaded with service and wore outfits. And now the army is a kindergarten, there is even a quiet hour. Soldiers, as dystrophic, and in uniform from Serdyukov and Yudashkin - so in general - frightened the gardeners, they certainly will not frighten the NATO member. And the army was commanded at that time by real officers and generals, and not "successful managers", as it is now, under the guidance of a specialist in furniture production.

      With him, military training was given tremendous attention. And his appearance in the garrison could be expected at any moment. It was with him that it so happened that he received two times (the first time he served on the regiment, and then the commander of the military unit) Government telegrams. On the form in big red letters from whom. AIR. AIR. AIR. Well, then the word and numbers. The main thing is to act immediately, and here in one and in the second case, the valerian had to solder the heads of the post offices. To convince - but not this war! Our teachings have come back. The real work was. The breathtaking power brought in a rapid jerk!
      And under Yazov, the main thing is that a clean scarf in the right pocket should lie with a comb. Haircut at least 10 days later. AND EVERYTHING! To hell with her with this b / g ... And the teachings, yes you that. West unnerve? Never...

Only for the period of 91 years the army changed dramatically (in our unit, anyway) There was a period when mold crackers were given instead of fresh bread, problems with fuel and supply in general went. In Voentog, everything disappeared. And all this is the merit of the labeled.

      The Soviet army and the USSR were the rise of Eurasian civilization - not a single external enemy could even think of aggression (just like in the days of Attila, Desht and Kipchak, the heyday of tsarist Russia)
      Now we are going through difficult times of the decline of the empire due to the betrayal of the top and the stupidity of the population. division of peoples into "national apartments"

      Our Eurasian Union - which will unite at least 3 republics for a start - inspires hope and the time of our independence and freedom will return! The Eurasian world and our empire as a Phoenix bird - he (she) is reborn after the most difficult test - remember 1612, 1941, etc.

      Then it got worse. Under EBN, we had the District ZKP not far from here. And the Communications battalion was with him. So the soldiers ran to summer residents without permission - they just worked for food. And their commander bought a foreign car at that time. Well, good people to this "... darned" face have been well cleaned. I went to the hospital with a TBI and an open fracture and made a foolish fool of his enlighteners ...

      Yes, in those days, if a guy did not serve in the army and was not considered a real man. And then they served 2 years in the Army and 3 in the Navy. And they took away from institutes and technical schools to serve. And those who really wanted to study, returned and finished their studies without any problems. The service also entered the working experience. And now they go to institutes in order to get knowledge from the army, and not to get knowledge.
      Personally, I never regretted having served my 730. Everything bad and unpleasant is forgotten, only the good remains in my memory: my friends are colleagues, fathers are commanders. I communicate with many of them now, even though it's been more than 20 years and many live already in independent states, well, social networks and the Internet help.

      ehhh! for ten minutes he returned to youth, as if he had served again in the Indestructible and Legendary times of its heyday and power.

      My father was drafted into the Soviet Army immediately after the war, in the fall of 1945, and served as an ordinary soldier in the anti-tank artillery for 8 years. through the fall of 1953. because the front-line soldiers were demobilized, someone had to rebuild the country from ruins, and someone had to protect. despite the fact that the country lost almost 18 million men of the most working age killed and crippled. so, my father (and not only him - I asked many of those who served the urgent 8 years after the war) considered these years the best in their lives, appreciated the partnership and the team, and recalled them with
      nostalgia and gratefully. and especially - the commanders, from whom each and every one went through the front and treated them, the slag, strictly, but with genuine care and participation. recalled how they, boys in military uniforms, who didn’t smell the war, passing in a field camp in the city or through the village, people carried armfuls of flowers, spoke good, warm words, were proud of them ...

      we need to strive for such roots, to revive the army from them.

      I know from the stories of my father and senior officers that the army was better, although sometimes it lagged behind in terms of equipping with information technology. Officer, then it sounded proud. Just do not understand why hazing flourished in the late 80s, where there were junior officers? Where was the professionalism of the generals in the first Chechen, and after all, they studied at Soviet military schools and academies. I know there was a great country and a great army, from which they really wrote in their pants. It is a pity that all this disappeared during the five-year period of the existence of the Russian Federation.

          By the way, there was no hazing in any company with a strong sergeant. The officers are mostly only during the day, and the sergeants are in the location all the time. And the raiders could be tamed and according to the Charter so that my mother did not grieve. I served in 75-77. Until the 76th there were still outfits out of turn. You work out one outfit for almost a month. Instructive. The guardhouse also cools hot heads. But then it was canceled all. I’m talking about this: if a sergeant works with personnel, there will always be order. And the Charter should be a Bible of personnel. We also didn’t have hazing - everyone lived as one family. My friend on the border, too, couldn’t talk about bullying. An outpost is an outpost - everything is in sight of each other. Mutual assistance - it cannot be otherwise. And one more thing: hazing can only be in peacetime. With the outbreak of hostilities, it disappears. No matter how cool you are, no one wants to get a bullet in the back.

      You're right. My father-in-law told the same thing. Their call changed the front-line soldiers. Born in 1926-1928. The "grandfathers" quit after they prepared a replacement for themselves from the young replenishment. So his predecessor resigned only after his father-in-law had normally fulfilled his duties as a diesel driver in the anti-aircraft artillery DREAM, while repelling the raid of American bombers on the Druzhba bridge, which is after the Khasan railway station. And when parting, he presented a trophy straight razor "Zolanger". This priceless gift was carried through all my life.
      Quote: Host206
      where were the junior officers?

      Dedavshchina began to appear then when they began to call into the army of the convicted, once. And secondly, the quality and the very role of sergeant personnel sharply waned. Regimental sergeant schools were abolished. They began to prepare them in training directing them straight from the citizen. A military men's team very often changes a person. Some for the better, others in the opposite. Hidden up to that quality of personality are manifested. The commander, directing the fighter to the regimental school, was well aware that it was he who would soon receive him as his junior commanders. And in RVC, the approach to selection for training for the most part was formalized. Yes, actually, which of the rookie sergeant, even after half a year. If he was not an ordinary soldier a day. The cadet study environment is different from the life of a line unit. My father served in the early 50s. So, according to his memoirs, he talked several times with all the years of service with the company. I saw a platoon more often of course, but only practically at operational exits. All including the combat - solitary and squad, sergeants steered the training. And the commanders were engaged in command training. And since they were located on the mouth, most often they were not located. At the headquarters of the regiment was trained, and he oh how far was. And nothing terrible and criminal happened. Pyramids with weapons, open, stood before the orderly, and there were hangers for overcoats. No one in vain grabbed for the trunks, neither shot himself nor his colleagues. There was another world.

        I completely agree with you, but just a memory from childhood, I myself personally then observed the educational measures of the grandfathers and the orders of the lieutenant, so that they are more strict with the young, and they myself retire at rest or on their own business.

        There were no cases of hazing in our unit, since my predecessors spent days with soldiers and personally controlled the entire training of young soldiers and senior soldiers.

      Yes, there used to be such a profession - to defend the Motherland, but now - to earn money! It’s a shame when the Soviet Army is assessed from the heights of current, so-called “values”. In the USSR, the army not only had the function of protecting the country, it was an organization that built houses, schools, kindergartens, roads, “raised virgin soil,” educated young people, and united peoples. The achievements of military medicine of those years are recognized even by foreign experts about what military science did for the development of industry and the economy of the USSR. And it’s not the fault of the Soviet Army that politicians ruined the whole country!
      The propaganda of the current existing system in the country is aimed at only one thing - to denigrate the achievements of their ancestors, to create a new person - a brainless consumer who has only one thing on his mind - money, food and drink. So that people sit in front of the TV, watch stupid TV series, wash it all down with beer, eat chips, so that they don’t even think about starting to THINK!
