What to bring to the army? Of course, this question is far from being idle for those parents whose children were given a summons for military service. At first glance, it may seem that the scale of the problem is small, since Russian soldiers are fully supported by the state…
Take what you need
However, on the way to the military unit, the future "defenders of the Motherland" simply cannot do without a certain set of things. Also, not everyone knows whether to take a passport to the army or not. One way or another, but the point of view of fathers and mothers that everyone will be given out in the army is only partly true, since, for example, no one will provide a fighter of the Russian army with a mobile phone, without which it is difficult to imagine modern life today - he must take care of yourself.
Of course, to the question of what to take with you to the army, there is a simple answer: "All the essentials." It is also important to remember that all sorts of unforeseen situations may arise on the way to the military unit, and to countit would be naive that someone would share a bar of soap or toothpaste with you. That is why the conscript simply needs to know what to take with him to the army so as not to get into trouble.
Once again, it should be emphasized that the future fighter does not make sense to stock up on unnecessary and bulky things. Remember that you will have to travel to the military unit by transport, and possibly for several days, during which you will take water procedures, brush your teeth, and shave.
Bag or backpack
Before you think about what to take with you to the army, think about the question: “What will I take this with”?
The best option is a backpack, which must be durable and reliable. Moreover, it should have several sections - it is more practical to store things.
Clothes and shoes
Considering the question of what to take into the army, of course, you need to touch on the topic of wardrobe items. In any case, recruits will receive military uniforms, so dressing in bright and fashionable outfits should not be - they will still have to be returned home, which creates additional hassle.
You also need to make sure that the things that the future soldier put on correspond to the weather conditions, otherwise military service will begin with the treatment of acute respiratory infections.
Wardrobe items should be as simple and comfortable as possible, the same goes for shoes: sneakers or sneakers will be enough. It's a good idea to bring rubber flip-flops for showering and a pair of woolen socks to keep your feet warm in case it gets cold.
You will also need white collar fabric.
Documents
Many young people of draft age are interested in the question of what to take into the army from the documents. Of course, you must not forget the registration certificate. Should I take a passport to the army? Necessarily! For some of the recruits, the question of whether to take rights into the army is also relevant. If a soldier cannot imagine his life without transport, and driving is a kind of vocation for him, then a certificate, of course, will come in handy in a military unit. Perhaps he will be entrusted with driving a company car. So, now you know what documents to take into the army.
Money
Continuing the topic of what can be taken into the army, it is necessary to say about the need to supply the conscript with money, and we are not talking about large sums - 500-1000 rubles are enough. On the way to the military unit, there may be a need for basic things, drinking water, for example. Banknotes are best placed in different pockets.
On the way to the place of military service, recruits receive the so-called dry rations, however, as practice shows, this set of food products in some cases is not enough for growing organisms. This is what parents, when deciding what to take into the army, pay attention to in the first place.
Of course, an additional supply of provisions for a period of 2-3 days will be useful. Put one in the recruit's backpacka stick of chopped sausage, two packs of biscuit cookies or dry bread, two cans of canned food, 300 grams of hard cheese, several chocolate bars and a one and a half liter bottle of water. What else should be taken into the army? Do not forget about disposable plastic utensils: glasses, spoons, forks. Come in handy.
Essentials
Of course, a recruit cannot do without essentials: toothpaste, brushes, soap. In addition, the future defender of the Motherland will need a razor, and he will remove stubble from his face 2 times a day, so several sets of removable blades should be purchased in advance. As for the electric razor, it is better to refuse it, since there is no guarantee that it will not break on the road. Also do not forget to put shaving foam, gel or aftershave lotion. The recruit will also need a couple of towels (separately for the body and for the face), a washcloth, handkerchiefs, paper napkins and toilet paper.
It will not be superfluous to complete the recruit's backpack with threads (black and white) and needles. In addition, you should put small scissors for cutting nails.
A few words should be said about the recruit's haircut. Some young people are afraid that they will cut their hair to zero. In fact, there is no cause for concern, since the ritual that existed in the era of the USSR has changed today. Currently, soldiers wear short haircuts. This should be taken care of in advance. But with a mustache and a beard in the army it is not allowed to walk - thisthe prerogative of fighters serving under the contract, and then, if you need to disguise the existing defects on the face.
Medicines
Don't know what to bring to the army? Of course, the future warrior should take a certain set of medicines on the road, which includes bandages, gauze bandages, iodine, an asterisk, activated charcoal.
It is possible that indigestion, heartburn, cramps can happen on the road, and in this case, the Mezima tablet will come in handy. Also put warming ointment for colds and oil for burns in the first aid kit.
Stationery
A soldier of the Russian army also cannot do without a pen, pencil, notebook and notepad. Do not forget to purchase a dozen postal envelopes so that you can receive letters from your son. At the same time, mail messages are gradually becoming a thing of the past, and phone calls are taking their place.
Means of communication
Naturally, all young men of military age are concerned about the question of whether it is possible to use a mobile phone in a military unit. Yes, this opportunity is given to recruits. But other products of "modern civilization", belonging to the category of gadgets, are blacklisted by the commanding staff.
Should I take the phone to the army? Of course. With it, you will be in touch with relatives and friends, although not every day. You should not take an expensive model, it is better to opt for a simple one. In order to save money, it makes sense to purchase two sim-discounted rate cards so that the conscript can make cheap calls regardless of roaming charges. At the same time, it should be remembered that upon arrival at the military unit, future soldiers will have their communications equipment removed, and they will be able to use them once a week.
Blacklist items
Some negligent conscripts might think of taking some booze with them on the road. One way or another, but this is fraught with serious consequences: if the officers find or smell the smell of beer or something stronger, they will apply severe pen alties to the perpetrators. Do not take on the road and items related to edged weapons, in particular a penknife. If it is seen on a recruit, this attribute will be removed. Also, a soldier on the road should not use easily breaking objects that are made of glass, since they can easily get hurt. Playing cards and magazines with photographs of naked girls are also blacklisted. And also chewing gum. But as for cigarettes and tobacco products, there is no ban for conscripts.
Conclusion
Conscripts need to get a good rest before going to the rally point, because preparing for military service takes a huge amount of energy. At the “seeing off to the army”, it is better for a recruit to refrain from drinking alcohol, since you need to go to the training camp, where the fate of the recruit will be decided, with a sober head.
At the control turnout a few days before being transported to the recruiting station, the future defenders of the Motherland will be given a complete list of those thingswhich you need to take, and those that are not needed in the army.
