Not that digital toys and cell phones worried about the recruit in the first place — already at the Assembly point a head overwhelmed with entirely different experiences. But before us — 365 days to a new team in an unfamiliar area. Therefore, there is a sense to prepare for this test in advance — both psychologically and practically.
All you will need savvy. Fans of mobile phones — especially
Mobile phones, army, state
The Motherland will not leave their fighters very much without communication, so before sending to remote military units, the recruits are handed the cellphones and SIM-cards. Should not deceive ourselves — in the role of phones until recently, it was made by Motorola C113 (which went nowhere after a few years of removal from the conveyor), and rates razumeetsa, highly specialized, in most cases represented the “Beeline”. In the modern version of these same rates even suitable for communication, though was introduced initially “for show”. More recently, they lacked a word, in the style of “mom, I’m fine”, and free incoming in roaming soldiers was supposed subscription fee.
It’s good to be Kgbshnik — you can pretend that cellular communication in the army is very common
But as they say — in reality all is not as it really is. Because 90% of the time the phones of the personnel do not exist and are stored in the office of the foreman. Once a week (usually Sunday afternoon) to give soldiers an hour talking with loved ones, then phones again withdrawn.
The number of minutes, SMS, and other pleasures for a soldier is also reduced very much, and use “concrete dialers” youth is long gone, so smartphones and their use in the army rampage, ahem, not quite legal grounds.
What phone to get into the army
In short — one that will not be sorry. Because the gadgets in the conditions approached to fighting” threaten the following consequences:
- Prestigious smartphone fraught with envy co-workers and/or constant requests to borrow a cell phone. The people in the army going which is so obsolete three times for Muscovites Samsung Galaxy S4, for example, in the conditions of military service will be considered cosmically cool. From this follows the second problem.
- The smartphone is likely to steal, especially because by saying “no word “stole” is the word — “lost”” the new recruits are introduced almost immediately after the oath. Because in front of her (the first month of service, roughly speaking), young recruits are simply not in contact with the “brutalized” by older soldiers. Around the same guys with more civil habits, lazy-happy kind of Junior sergeants (watch for “young” — not in the tank ammunition load) and still friendly lieutenants, heads of educational mouth. After distribution to the troops leave, the situation will change radically, and your iPhone 6s will be a regular source of problems.
Smartphones army average. Than to the right — the more prestigious
- Time on instant messengers, memes and emoticons in reality would be incredibly small, so a personal cell phone will be in demand for:
- Call friends/relatives/girlfriend in okolokozhnoe time.
- Downloading of music (Patriotic hymns of the feast for the soul on 9 may and daily after singing them a few times a day, to put it mildly, bored) and movies, because TV you’ll only watch “the holidays” and just for the army theme, and at a local club repertoire is limited Intrusive jingoistic films and military music ensembles — a very military and not very musical. A rare exception is the Cossack groups, which in military terms is really look like “superstars” and on the vocals, and the mastery stage.
Therefore, the safest option until recently were the flagships on Symbian — battered Nokia 5800 and N95/97 seems to be with Internet, but no longer the attribute of luxury, but because of the interest of the poor village boys do not cause. Today, a similar role to suit any smartphones prestige brands cheaper 6000 rubles in the Russian retail.
Where to get the smartphone or the SIM card
The most difficult in the army to get the “correct” SIM card — colleagues, for example, can offer “the Sims” came from Tatarstan, Siberia, Bryansk and Voronezh regions, but in the training tank area, for example, the city of Carpets Vladimir region, all this will be just scattering money pits in roaming.
To register your passport SIM card for a soldier hardly anyone wants (although still talk to grandmother-librarian or the girl of the medical battalion really), so the “hazing” cellular infiltrates in the unit after meeting with relatives of soldiers.
Meeting the parents is not only touching, but also useful for replenishment of “hazing” products and phones
Phones penetrate the army through civilian personnel (cooks, employees of combine of consumer services, club, etc.), “field” drivers, the postal service and the other guys who have permission to leave the territory of the. However, cell phones these enthusiasm did not cause — worn/used smartphones with signs of sloppy repair and a moribund batteries for the price of 5 to 10 thousand rubles. In the pre-crisis time, the soldiers managed to get the “real” iPhone 3GS and Galaxy SII for the required 10 million, but today the prices changed not for the better, so barely alive Fly, Galaxy Ace II smartphone the harsh reality of conscripts. The most wealthy of them can afford a Galaxy S3 with a scratched display or a shabby iPhone 4S/5.
Swing in combat
Coating the cellular operators on the territory of military units is divided into two types
- Terrible (in large military formations), because a lot of soldiers, and cellular towers — a little.
- No, because a military unit well away from civilian targets and cell phones barely clinging to the cellular network anyway.
In short, the network works the same way as in the Moscow metro, if it was not Wi-Fi. Even photos of relatives in social networks open painfully long, and to listen to music or watch videos online at all unrealistic.
But androidiani there is always the opportunity to get out.
Ways to download files in bad signal conditions the network is still there
Long live the informal clients Incontact with the ability to download music and videos! For example, the developer RoryBirtwistlehy56 is suitable for such needs program. Shakes and dokachivaet even in an unstable coating.
LoaderDroid is an advanced download Manager. Pulls files in multiple threads to the bitter end.
Wap-sites. What are you laughing for? Yes, movies and music in terrible quality, but it rocks! Not for the sake of advertising, and statistics for — Spaces.ru and the like resources will fit for download even with the “polyphonic dialer”.
Torrents. Today, when it has no concept of “64 Kbps after exceeding the traffic,” not very important, but if the network is always equally bad — useful for download rare MP3 files in a few days at night. The battery, however, eat with wild speed, but with neighbors in “Kubrick” the socket, you can always share as brothers.
If caught with phone
Classic storage space for the “counterfeit” mobile phone in the army — the mattress. Soldiers Packed in a smartphone, as long as are in the barracks, and the rest of the time wear it in the inner pocket of his jacket (shirts for the soldiers, remember, not in principle). But the fight against an unregistered officers communications from the soldiers so as endless as a confrontation between controllers with stowaways in trains, while most officers come out winners.
It all depends on at what point the soldiers caught red-handed. If within the barracks — there are several options:
- Soldier resigns himself to his fate, receives a severe reprimand during a build on “vzletke” (along the barracks) and loses the smartphone to dismissal. Then pressed by the floor as you say the company commander, and gets some clothes (not a wedding and martial-hour shifts) out of the lineup.
They say a picture made not in the army. But it seems
- Soldiers actively resents and tries to “for Christ’s sake” to beg for a cell phone ago — in this case, he was given a hammer and told to hit with a sweep on the phone if he doesn’t want more severe consequences. On the front of the building cell destroyed.
- The soldier enters into a dispute with the officer, threatened to complain to the committees of soldiers ‘ mothers somewhere else and set aggressively. In this case, the officers record the fact of unauthorized use of cellular communication in the service of HRT (protection of state secrets) and the soldier appears a heap of trouble. From “special status”, which threatens to ban severance, for example, before departure in the brig (to 30 days), which is not counted in life. Wanting to prolong the pleasure from military service is vanishingly small.
Don’t mess with the army!
To tell about the military realities can be long and “juicy” — she was too different from civilian life. But to give harmful advice or to divulge state secrets, we do not intend, so don’t take this guide as gospel and get ready for an absolute isolation from the computing devices in the Armed forces.
The bravest can choose “the way of the ninja” to become a “geek” with the highest command of the unit. Design skills, the ability to shoot at the bad for an SLR camera, as good skills in Microsoft Office, ability to collect from “necro-Pentium” cheerful PC and turn illiterate texts in the likeness of presidential speeches is a must. Aspiring pros should be ready for the most aggressive leaders in history, a continuous stream of tasks and deadlines in all-day mode “should have been done yesterday”. It is not quite a soldier’s share, but most importantly, the soldier benefited, and the fighting qualities of programmers are inferior to those in strong “handy” guys from the province.
Some things in the army is more desirable than a smartphone, and even “hazing” food
Otherwise, the principles of military service are simple: follow orders, stick to the instructions, distinguish “smart” from the breach of these instructions. A good service to anyone who she is yet and all the best to those who passed the military service!
