That sounds like a waste of money

Can't find the sand photo, but I witnessed it firsthand when I visited my friend.

@Udyr Shit Post God where you from

This is an absolutely straigt line of sand with 45 degree stripes.

It's so straight, it's basically gay.

Aren't you given free food in the military

what kind of shitty military doesn feed its troops

It's nutritious, but it tastes like ass. So chocolate is treasure.

Russia

Again, the troops are fed. Occasionally, when someone fucks it up, they give too little time to eat, so the entire squad basically skips the meal.

So they shove gingerbreads in their pockets, which is a no-no.

lol

smugglin

And if some sergeant notices gingerbreads in your pockets, there is a good chance that you are gonna be forced to eat it with a toothpaste.

To quote my friend "I don't care, I ate it".

there is no need for that

you aren't at war even

who is making these decisions

The entire point is to keep everyone "entertained". So they draw stripes on the sand.

This was the first half of his service. The second one was more serious.

Close. Recycling old explosives.

i am interested

Carrying heavy stuff for 16-18 hours a day. But it was his choice.

He asked for a transfer to avoid drawing lines on the sand.

Also, 6 people died doing so during his 6 months of service. In another squad.

that could be one incident

It obviously was. Six 18yo people dying for virtually no reason was a big deal, even in Russia.

News, investigations.

Basically, that shit is old. It has to be carried carefully and not thrown around. Ideally in protective equipment.

The thing is, protective equipment is heavy, like 10 kg.

And you can't exactly carry stuff carefully, because the truck is here and the magic place is oooover there.

Some explosives are big enough for guys to sit on them and slide down.

But if you don't do it fast, you are gonna have to work for 26-30 hours a day, which is not what they wanted to do.

So they don't teach how to shoot weapons and fight?

Then what's the point

lol 26-30 hours a day

They kinda learn how to shoot.

it still comes down to basic logistical errors

Assemble-disasseble the rifle.

And the worst part is that unless there is some accident, you don't get to **look** at those explosions.
