The conscript joins the ranks of the Russian armed forces. Friends and relatives, as they can, collect him in the army. Someone with advice, some with deeds, some with moral support, and some with material support, help him.
Parents and other relatives are traditionally engaged in seeing off the army, and friends will organize you separate wires. Let them worry about it. At this time, the conscript himself must collect his bag so that at the place of service he does not have any complaints or questions to anyone except himself.
Personal hygiene products - soap in a soap dish, toothpaste, toothbrush in a case, shaving products that are familiar to you. All this is necessary for the conscript, and not in the singular. Pack the toothpaste carefully so as not to stain all other things with it if the tube opens or bursts.
Soldiers hem the collar with a white cotton cloth so that the uniform does not rub the neck. It is enough to buy a soft material of good quality 2x2 meters in size. Then you don’t have to wash the piece that the army gives out once a week. Just in case, take along with your thread (white, black, green) with needles, always in a plastic case.
Put a notebook in your bag, which contains all the phone numbers of relatives and friends, the birthdays of mother and father (you may be asked). From civilian clothes in the first six months, only a tracksuit with shoes can be useful. Then, when you are allowed to go out, relatives will send the rest.
You still do not know the situation in the place where you will serve, so do not take an expensive mobile phone and other sophisticated electronics. If you are lucky to be in one part with good people, then in the package you will receive the required. But first, it’s better to limit yourself to a simple means of communication.
Take along a small amount of money, as much as it will not be a pity if you lose or take it away. A month in the army you will receive 500 rubles for your needs.
Get ready to get up early and exercise. It is better to gradually accustom yourself to the army regime of the day, so that this does not become a strong stress for the body. Work out - it’s definitely useful.
