Beautiful Russian girls in military uniform. Military women

The young ladies began to try on men's suits in earnest. But if only this were the case ... Not everyone would dare to change their wardrobe to camouflage. Although such cases have recently been observed more and more. What attracts the weaker sex in this sometimes overwhelming business? Why do young girls rush, despite the competition, to military schools and sign five-year contracts?

For me, as a granddaughter, daughter, sister of an officer, all these are more than strange questions. Not because, knowing the answer to them, I do not consider them incomprehensible. Having studied too well the system of this kind of activity, I am amazed at the courage or stupidity of persons who choose a similar profession for themselves.

Russia is not a member of the countries where conscription is performed not only by men. Probably, it is this fact, like a magnet, pulls graceful figures into the slender ranks of the servants of the Motherland. The first option is "I don't know, I want to try". Almost romantic ... The second - more common - the daughters (and sons) of military personnel follow in the footsteps of their fathers, because the way to other paths is closed and military women are obtained. This is more than a common occurrence, with more unknown reasons for me. This precedent is observed in my family.

Elder Sister Serves

The older sister serves in the ranks of BB on a contract basis, although, like me, she knows all the delights of this "job" better than others. The dream of her youth was shoulder straps, when the goal was achieved - satisfaction did not happen. Why was the "experience" of generations not accepted? Yes, we were raised in a spirit of respect for form. But we both knew that serving the Fatherland was a heavy duty. Each of us saw and understood that “The state is called the Motherland when it sends its citizens to war, and citizens begin to be called“ sons. ”We also knew how the state pays for bravery and loyalty.

So why daughters, wives, sisters of the military are eager to study the charter, drive a tank, go on "business trips" to combat points? Maybe they are attracted by high earnings, stable living conditions, benefits, social protection? Let's take a closer look at all of these criteria.

The salary is calculated depending on the position, rank, length of service, etc. The salary of my sister is 700 rubles + "compensation for the meal" 600 rubles = 1300. I agree that in the conditions of the Russian countryside it is more or less decent. But the ration is given out occasionally, accumulating debts for several months, no indexation, compensation, of course, too. "Stable living conditions", i.e. apartments are a very sore point lately. The army of homeless soldiers is replenished with each new soldier with his family. "Benefits" are sometimes canceled, then restored, in between - hassle, in addition to the daily, generally accepted. "Social protection" - I don't know how to cry or laugh when looking at this concept.

On the other hand, I understand military women living in garrisons, far from industrial cities, they have little choice: either serve, or work in a local dilapidated collective farm, or stay at home. It is them that I feel most sorry for. The bosses, remote from Moscow, feel at ease, which means - "I am the boss, and you are not just a fool, but it is generally not known who." It is even worse when the boss is henpecked with either his wife or his mistress, who literally commands the parade. Here salvation is only in the wisdom of this lady, but this does not happen often. This means that, having seen a cool suit on Ninka, but the commander is not in size, Ninka will receive a number of night shifts in excess of the norm. And if the children are at home and there is no one to sit, even if they are completely removed, the holy place is never empty. But even an empty place is far from holy, therefore, the Svetka that occupied it will be quieter than water, lower than grass. There is a lady in the circle of my forced acquaintances who, for any comment and discontent, clearly cuts off: "I sleep with the chief of staff, and I also sleep with the battalion commander, if I want, I will sleep and with the division commander, go complain." Such persons behave arrogantly and defiantly, if you have to cross their path - beware. But if only they were a danger ... There is nowhere to look for protection from male attacks in women, and even more so from harassment of the superior husbands.

The fates of army women are different:

Someone sleeps with the leadership of their own free will, and some according to circumstances. Ensign Oksana Ivanovna has been officially the "beloved woman" of the regiment commander for five years. She hardly got a job, and she could only stay on it under the patronage of the colonel who laid eyes on her. Who will refuse the commander if there are no other ways? Oksanka is a deeply decent person and such a situation depresses her. Once, I tried to commit suicide, but who will need a sick mother and little Earring?

My friend Sveta is still in a "privileged" position. Her main drawback is her weakness and lack of ability to say "no" (this is what caused her situation). And the most offensive thing is the attitude of colleagues. If the "patron" is on a responsible assignment or on a business trip, comrades in the service (especially persons) eat the poor man for any reason. She cannot give them a decent answer (as some do). Have to endure. To climb the career ladder in this primordially masculine profession, you need to endure a lot: sleepless nights, and grievances, and insults. "Female individuals in the uniform of colonels, even generals are an extremely rare phenomenon, but they exist. But even a high rank will not save you from ridicule. About one major general in a skirt, colleagues joke:" Where does she sew stripes? " Such an attitude needs to go through a lot and not break down. Many women drink too much, who begins to lead a wild lifestyle, who turns stale, and who even goes crazy, especially after hot spots. By the way, women are not spared, they even try to send - "sniff gunpowder ", they say, took up the tug ... There are those who drive themselves and more than once, most of the money, of course.

I don't want to be accused of thickening the colors. All of the above are cons. Pros: you can retire even at 37 years old (a year goes over 1.5). The working wardrobe is of the same type, monochromatic, issued by the state.

Getting an education in military universities, you do not need to pay, there is a good scholarship, the diploma also applies to the "citizen". The contract system implies a 5 or less year contract, which can be terminated if desired.

Maybe this justifies the competition for military schools for 30 people? And about police schools, I generally keep quiet. But cadre military men still treat guys with greater confidence than "female individuals" (by the way, the accepted expression), so it is several times harder to prove that you want and can for a young lady. When it was my turn to choose my profession, I cut off only one phrase to my parents: "Anything but the army." They, of course, twisted their fingers at their temples, rolling a couple of dozen tantrums, in concern for the future of their child, but they still could not convince. I am happy that I myself solved the problem of this difficult choice, that I myself entered the university I wanted, the faculty I liked. I know that I was not mistaken in rejecting the family tradition, and I will never regret it.

Women in the army. Statistics:

In the Armed Forces (AF), more than 2,400 women wear officer's shoulder straps.

Every sixth warrant officer is a woman, and among the military personnel serving under contract in the positions of private and sergeant, almost half are female. 25.2% of women serve in military farms; 19% - at headquarters; 17.5% - at communication centers.
In Internal Troops(BB) 650 women officers.
The average age is 36 years.
The main places of service are medical units, communication services, there are a small number of teachers in the military institutes of the Internal Troops.

These are the military women of Russia!

Woman soldier - yes or no? Still a controversial issue. Women are created to look after children and provide comfort at home when their men are at war.
Woman warrior - from time immemorial it was only an exception to the rule, and today, in the 21st century, a woman police officer and a woman soldier have long been surprising no one.

March 8 is a reason to put aside disputes about military conflicts and terrorism, about new weapons and other hot topics. It is more logical on this day to talk about the beautiful half of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The modern Russian army has about 45 thousand female contract women who, along with the stronger sex, perform their military duty. The total number of girls, one way or another related to the Russian army, exceeded 326 thousand. It is significant that this figure is only increasing every year: military service is becoming more and more attractive for our girls.

The RF Armed Forces provide ladies with over 150 different specialties. It must be understood that the army is not only trenches, mud, etc. Most of the girls are listed in communications units, specialized educational institutions, medical personnel, food and clothing services. Their merits are difficult to overestimate, a fresh example is the provision of medical care civilians Syria. Fearless women are ready to go to hot spots and perform the most difficult tasks on an equal basis with men.

It is worth noting a serious increase in the number of people wishing to enter the educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense. Popular are the "Naval Academies" in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, VVDKU in Ryazan, VA VKO in Tver, the Moscow Military University and many other departments. A graduate of one of these institutions eventually receives a diploma and military rank, which opens the way for her to military structures.

If a girl is really impatient to join the ranks of the defenders of the Motherland, there is always the opportunity to go to serve on a contract basis. Here, of course, you need to take into account some requirements: age from 18 to 40 years, no health problems, good physical fitness. And the specialty that is in demand in the Armed Forces, of course, will be an undoubted plus.

Each candidate must come to the selection point, have a conversation with a special inspector and pass sports standards on three points: strength, speed and endurance. Nothing out of the ordinary - abs exercises, shuttle running and kilometer cross. Standards vary by age. Failed one of the three tests? It doesn't matter, in a month the girl will be able to pass the exam again. If successful, she comes with everyone necessary documents and certificates to the military registration and enlistment office, where the question of the candidate's suitability for contract service is decided by voting.

A wish true patriots serving for the good of the Motherland does not go unnoticed by the state, which takes great care of the representatives of the RF Armed Forces. Military service is guaranteed stability. There can be no problems with paying salaries, the conditions of the Labor Code are fully observed, there are good career opportunities. Agree, in "civilian life" it is not always easy to find a job with such fundamental conditions.

Other important point- social security. Absolutely all servicemen of the Russian army are provided with a full social package: treatment at the expense of the state (military medicine is a very high level), serious travel benefits, housing. There are 12 more attractive items here, but these three stand apart.

There are a lot of advantages: a hassle-free decree (work will definitely not run away from you), a decent pension, and for some it is also an opportunity to be close to a military husband. IN last years work in the Armed Forces has become extremely prestigious. And patriotic sentiments in the country awakened great, and the Russian army itself was put in full order.

Getting into the army is not so difficult, but every woman should understand what difficulties she may face in a new workplace. Constant moving, business trips, shifts ... The career is attractive, but did anyone say that it would be easy in this area? State security is at stake. People come here not for the sake of earning money and not those for whom patriotism is something alien. This is not the place in the army, here the priority idea should remain to protect the interests of your country. If the candidate takes into account such nuances, problems will not arise in the future.

On International Women's Day, I would like to congratulate all the fair sex and thank the military girls for trying not to yield to men in this field. Every year Russian women make an increasingly significant contribution to the security of our Motherland. And the stereotype “the army is not a woman’s business” has already been completely destroyed.

Woman Warrior. From time immemorial, this concept was only an exception to the rule, because women were created to take care of children and provide comfort at home when their men are at war. However, today, in the 21st century, the existence of such professions as a woman police officer and a woman soldier has long been a surprise.
It is worth noting that women today serve in many armies of the world; in Israel, conscription service is compulsory for both men and women. If we talk about Europe, then the most "feminine" army today is the French, which serves 23 thousand women in uniform, which is 8% of the total number of personnel - from private to colonel. There are women in almost all parts, with the exception of the marines, Foreign Legion and submarine crews.
Others successful example the armies of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Australia and Canada are exercising their right to military service. So, according to the data published by the Pentagon, out of 1.42 million soldiers and officers who are in active service, 205 thousand are women (more than 14%), while 64 of them have general and admiral ranks.

Today women and in Russian army they also reach high commanding heights. For example, Major General Elena Knyazeva is the Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate for International Military Cooperation (GUMVS) of the RF Ministry of Defense. After receiving this rank, after a long break she became the only woman in the Russian military generals.
Women have even penetrated into such a purely "male" branch of the military as the Airborne Forces. For example, the media have repeatedly published information that the famous 76th Airborne Division, stationed in Pskov, has about 383 women, including 16 officers. At the same time, while women in medical and financial services have long been no surprise to anyone, women in the positions of platoon commanders are quite rare. It was in this position in the communications battalion that Lieutenant Yekaterina Anikeeva served as the guard, while all her subordinates were men.
Moreover, the Ryazan Airborne School is not standing still. This famous educational institution, which today teaches applicants from 32 countries of the world, has begun accepting girls since 2008. Representatives of the fair sex are invited to master a profession called "The use of airborne support units." School graduates - women officers will command the parachute handlers, as well as assist in the deployment of military equipment and paratroopers, including using complex multi-dome systems and special platforms. As studies specially carried out in Russia show, female military personnel represent a fairly significant reserve for replenishing and recruiting the Russian Armed Forces, while they do not have fundamental contraindications for carrying military service... Moreover, the results of the studies carried out indicate that women in the army are characterized by more high level health compared to male military personnel. And the Russian army itself already has experience working with women, who, among other things, do contract service.
It is believed that women represent the "weaker sex", but this is not true. Yes, it is known that the physical strength of a woman with an equal body weight is slightly less than that of men, but at the same time this disadvantage physical strength can be compensated by the skill of using weapons and the training of a woman. A trained female soldier is able to easily defeat an untrained male.

I suggest just admiring women in uniform =)

Basic Combat Training (BCT), namely "Red Phase of Basic Combat Training", which means passing through a gas chamber during basic training in the US Army.

During this training, all beginners are required to go through the so-called. gas chamber. The gas chamber is a very fun challenge. It is very funny to watch the recruits who come out of it filled with tears and snot, while coughing wildly. Some of the D.I's entered this cell when they suffered from a cold or cough - the cough seemed to relieve itself, and the cold passed during the day. The gas chamber allows you to develop moral stability in front of visible and tangible danger, over time, as a rule, after the second call, the fear of the gas chamber disappears, because after 20 minutes, the tear gas stops. The camera is a mandatory test; all military personnel pass it once a year.
