Rubbing machines. Rubbing is not only a grinding process, but also a separation, i.e. separation of the mass of fruit and vegetable raw materials from pits, seeds and peels on sieves with a mesh diameter of 0.0 mm. Finishing is an additional crushing of the wiped mass by passing it through a sieve with a hole diameter of 0.6 mm. Operating rules and labor safety. Before starting work on the wiping machine, they check the sanitary condition, correct assembly and the reliability of fastening the sieve, grating discs, replaceable rotor, the reliability of fastening all parts of the machine.

After that, the reliability and serviceability of the installed grounding is checked. Then the car is checked at idle speed. Rules for safe operation of vegetable cutting machines: 1. Only workers with dry and special clothing can start working on the machine. 2. Check the sanitary-technical condition, correct assembly, reliability of fastening of knives, knife blocks and gratings, as well as the strength of fastening of the hopper.

4. Rules for working with machines. When working with a class I machine, personal protective equipment should be used: dielectric gloves, galoshes, rugs, etc.), except for the cases indicated below. It is allowed to perform work with a class I machine without using personal protective equipment, in the following cases, if during the operation of the machines it is necessary to comply with all the requirements of the instructions for their operation, handle them carefully, do not expose them to shocks, overloads, exposure to dirt, oil products.

Machines that are not protected from moisture should not be exposed to dripping and splashing water or other liquids. The productivity of the preliminary wipers is determined by the formula: where D is the diameter of the sieve drum of the wiping machine, m; L - beat length, m; n - number of revolutions of beats per minute Machines and mechanisms for grinding. Device, principle of operation, rules of operation and safety. Determination of performance and required power.

The machines are designed for grinding meat and fish into minced meat, re-grinding the cutlet mass and stuffing sausages using a meat grinder. Operating rules and labor safety. Before starting work on the wiping machine, they check the sanitary condition, correct assembly and the reliability of fastening the sieve, grating discs, replaceable rotor, the reliability of fastening all parts of the machine.

After that, the reliability and serviceability of the installed grounding is checked. Then the car is checked at idle speed. Puller MP 1 - tray, 2 - grate, 3 - bladed rotor, 4 - loading hopper, 5 - waste hatch, 6 - handle with eccentric clamp, 7 - waste collection container, 8 - V-belt transmission, 9 - electric motor.

Table Operating rules and labor safety. Before starting work on the wiping machine, they check the sanitary condition, correct assembly and the reliability of fastening the sieve, grating discs, replaceable rotor, the reliability of fastening all parts of the machine. After that, the reliability and serviceability of the installed grounding is checked. Then the car is checked at idle speed.

5. To learn the rules of safe operation and adjustment of a one-stage continuous wiper. Equipment, tools and inventory: one-stage wiping machine, pots with a capacity of 2-3 liters (2 pcs.), Wooden pusher, stopwatch, vernier caliper. Products: apples - 5.0kg; tomatoes - 5.0kg; bones-5.0kg. Study of the device and the principle of operation. A single-stage wiper (rice) consists of a body, a drive, a scourge shaft and a sieve drum, mounted on a common frame.

The continuous pulper is designed to remove pits from various fruits. Rules for the operation of rubbing machines. Before putting machines and mechanisms into operation, they check their sanitary condition, grounding, the strength of fastening of working bodies and tools, bunkers and a hopper.

Then turn on the car at idle speed. After making sure of serviceability and without turning off the engine, they load the products. Do not push or straighten jammed food with your hands while the machine is running, as this may cause injury.

Combat and technical characteristics, combat properties of the BMP-2

The BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle is designed to increase the armament, security and mobility of motorized rifle units operating on the battlefield under normal conditions or under conditions of the use of nuclear weapons.

The BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle is a tracked amphibious combat vehicle with armament, armor protection and high mobility, armed with a 30 mm 2A42 automatic cannon with two-belt feed, stabilized in two planes, paired with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun and a launcher for fighting armored targets inside and outside the vehicle.

The vehicle uses devices designed to protect the crew, troops and equipment inside the vehicle from the impact of a shock wave and penetrating radiation during an explosion of nuclear weapons, to protect against chemical and biological weapons, as well as to protect the crew and troops from radioactive dust when the vehicle moves along radioactive contaminated area. These devices constitute a system of protection against weapons of mass destruction.

For setting up smoke screens for camouflage purposes, the machine is equipped with thermal smoke equipment and a smoke grenade launch system.

To extinguish a fire, the car has fire fighting equipment.

For trawling mines, trawling equipment can be installed on the machine.

The machine can overcome water obstacles afloat, using a caterpillar propeller for movement, and is also adapted for airborne landing.

Combat characteristics of 30 mm automatic cannon

The 30 mm automatic cannon is designed to combat lightly armored targets at a range of up to 1500 m with ATGM installations, unarmored weapons and enemy manpower at ranges of up to 4000 m, as well as for firing at air targets flying at altitudes up to 2000 m with subsonic speeds and an inclined range of up to 2500 m.

The principle of operation of a 30 mm automatic cannon is based on the removal of part of the powder gases through a transverse hole in the barrel. Moreover, the hole is unregulated. The mass of the 2A42 gun is 115 kg, the mass of the barrel is 40 kg. Vitality - 6000 shots.

The powerful 30 mm cannon mount was borrowed from the ground forces and is completely unified in terms of the ammunition used with the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The 2A42 cannon has a variable tempo firing and selective ammunition supply from two cartridge boxes equipped with armor-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation shells. This made it possible to increase the effectiveness of destruction of lightly armored ground and air targets by 30%. The combat survivability of the barrel makes it possible to shoot the entire ammunition load (500 rounds) without delays and intermediate cooling. Both on the BMP-2 and on the army combat helicopter, the cannon installation works reliably in conditions of increased dustiness (see Table 3).

Combat characteristics of PTK "Konkurs"

To combat armored targets at ranges from 75 m to 4000 m, the second generation 9M113M Konkurs ATGM (anti-tank missile system) is installed on the turret (see Table 4).

For many civilians, words such as squad, platoon, company, regiment and others are known. However, most of them never thought about what is different, for example, separation from a regiment, and a platoon from a company. In fact, the structure of military units is formed based on the number of military personnel. In this article we will look at the size of each military unit and take a closer look at the structure of military formations.

Brief description of the units and the number of military personnel

For the purpose of precise control of the military personnel, military units have a certain structure, each link of which has its own commander or chief. Each unit has a different number of troops, and is part of a larger unit (a squad is part of a platoon, a platoon is part of a company, etc.). The smallest unit is a branch, it includes from four to ten people, and the largest formation is the front (district), the number of which is difficult to name, since it depends on a number of factors. To have a clearer idea of \u200b\u200bthe size of the military unit, it is necessary to consider each of them, which we will do next.

What is a department and how many people there are

As noted above, the smallest military unit is the squad that is directly part of the platoon. The squad leader is the direct chief of the squad's personnel. In army jargon, it is abbreviated as "Chest of drawers". Most often, the squad leader has the rank of junior sergeant or sergeant, and the squad itself may consist of ordinary soldiers and corporals. Depending on the type of troops, there can be a different number of people in the squad. Interestingly, the equivalent of a squad in tank units is a tank crew, and in artillery units, a crew. The picture below shows a few examples of the differences between squad, crew and calculation.

The picture shows a motorized rifle squad, but in fact there are various divisions in battalions, for example: a battalion commander's command department (4 people), a command platoon's reconnaissance squad (4 people), a repair platoon's weapons repair department (3 people), a communications department (8 people) other.

What is a platoon and how many people are there

The platoon is next in terms of the number of personnel. Most often, it includes from three to six departments, respectively, its number ranges from fifteen to sixty people. As a rule, the platoon is commanded by a junior officer corps - a junior lieutenant, a lieutenant or a senior lieutenant.
The infographic shows examples of motorized rifle and tank platoons, as well as a firing platoon of a mortar battery.


Thus, we see that a motorized rifle platoon consists of a platoon control (platoon commander and deputy) and 3 squads (we examined the composition of squads in the picture above). That is, only 29 people.
The tank platoon consists of 3 tank crews. It is important that the commander of a tank platoon is also the commander of the first tank, so there are only 9 people in a tank platoon.
The fire platoon consists of 3-4 crews, each crew consists of 7 people, so the number of platoons is 21-28 people.

Also, in addition to the units presented on the example, there are many more different platoons in various brigades and regiments. For example, we will indicate only a few of them:

• Platoon control
• Communications platoon
• Reconnaissance platoon
• Engineer platoon
• Grenade platoon
• Logistics platoon
• Medical platoon
• Anti-aircraft missile platoon
• Repair platoon, etc.

The company and the number of people in it

The third largest military formation is the company. Depending on the type of troops, the number of a company can be from 30 to 150 soldiers, who are part of 2 - 4 platoons. Thus, the number of a tank company is 31 - 40 people, and the number of servicemen of a motorized rifle company ranges from 150 people. The company is also a formation of tactical importance, which means that the servicemen who are part of the company, in the event of hostilities, can perform tactical tasks on their own, without being part of the battalion. Often the company is commanded by an officer with the rank of captain, and only in some units this position is held by a major. Also, depending on the type of troops, the company may have a different name. For example, an artillery company is called a battery, an aviation company is called an aviation link, and there was also a cavalry company that was called a squadron.

In the example, we have a tank and motorized rifle company, as well as a mortar battery

The battalion and the number of troops in it

As in other military units, the size of the battalion depends on the type of troops. The battalion consists of 2 - 4 companies, and has from 250 to 1000 people. As you can see, this military unit already has a fairly impressive number, and therefore it is considered the main tactical formation capable of acting independently.

Many have heard the song of the "Lube" group called "Combat", but not everyone knows what this means. So, the battalion is commanded by the battalion commander, which in abbreviated form sounds like "battalion commander", in whose honor this composition of the same name was written. A battalion commander is a lieutenant colonel's position, but most often battalion commanders are captains and majors, who have the opportunity to curry favor with their rank and receive lieutenant colonel's stars.

The battalion's activities are coordinated at the battalion headquarters. Just like a company, a battalion, depending on the type of troops, can be called differently. For example, in artillery and anti-aircraft missile forces, they are called divisions (artillery battalion, air defense battalion).

Battalions and divisions have many more of the specific units mentioned above. Therefore, we will present the structure in the form of separate infographics.

The regiment and its composition

The regiment consists of three to six battalions. The number of the regiment does not exceed two thousand people. The regiment itself is directly a key tactical formation, which is completely autonomous. To command such a formation, it is necessary to have the rank of colonel, but in practice, lieutenant colonels are often appointed as regiment commanders. The regiment may include several different units. For example, if a regiment has three tank battalions and one motorized rifle battalion, then the regiment will have the name of a tank battalion. Also, depending on the type of troops, the regiment can perform different tasks: combined arms, anti-aircraft, rear.

There are also more numerous units that were heard by civilians much less often than the above formations. We will try to briefly talk about them in the next part of the article.

Brigade, division, corps, army, front

After the regiment, the next largest brigade is the brigade, which usually has from two to eight thousand military personnel. The brigade includes several battalions (divisions), several auxiliary companies, and sometimes two or even three regiments. The brigade commander (abbreviated as brigade commander) is appointed an officer with the rank of colonel.

The main operational-tactical formation is a division. It includes several regiments, as well as many auxiliary units of various types of troops. Senior officers with the rank of Major General and above are allowed to command a division, since the size of the division is an impressive 12-24 thousand people.

The next military formation is the army corps. It is formed from several divisions, which can reach one hundred thousand people. There is no predominance of any kind of service in the creation of an army corps, since it is a combined-arms formation. The corps commander can be a senior officer, major general and above.

The army as a military unit consists of several corps. The exact number of military personnel can range from two hundred thousand to a million, depending on the structure. The army is commanded by a major general or a lieutenant general.

The front, and in peacetime the military district, is the largest unit of all existing in the armed forces. Its number is very difficult to name, since it can change depending on the political situation, military doctrine, region, etc. The position of the front commander can be occupied by a lieutenant general or an army general.

General principles for the formation of the number of units

From the above, you can build a kind of chain that will help to finally clarify the general principles of forming the number of units:

• 5 - 10 people form a department;
• 3 - 6 squads form a platoon;
• 3 - 6 platoons create a company;
• 3-4 companies form a battalion;
• 3 - 6 battalions create a regiment;
• 2 - 3 battalions form a brigade;
• several brigades and support units form a division;
• 3 - 4 divisions create an army corps;
• 2-10 divisions are capable of forming an army

You also need to remember that the number of military units may depend directly on the type of troops. For example, tank units are always significantly inferior in number to motorized rifle units.

Other tactical terms

In addition to the aforementioned terms of the number of military units, the following concepts can also be distinguished:

1. Subdivision - all military formations that are part of the unit. In other words, such military terms as squad, platoon, company, etc., can be expressed by the word "unit".
2. The military unit is the main independent unit of the Armed Forces. Most often, a unit is a regiment or brigade. Also, individual companies and battalions can be military units. The main features of the unit are:

• availability of open and closed general military numbers;
• military economy;
• bank account;
• postal and telegraphic address;
• own office work;
• official stamp of the part;
• the commander's right to issue written orders.

All of these signs indicate that the part has the autonomy it needs.

1. Compound. In fact, this term can be used to describe only a division. The very word "connection" implies the union of several parts. If the composition of a brigade is formed from separate battalions and companies, which have the status of units, then in this case the brigade can also be called a formation.
2. Union. It unites such units as a corps, army, front or district.

Having analyzed all the above concepts, one can understand on what principles the numerical class of military units is built. Now, watching films of a military theme, or communicating with a soldier, having heard most of the military terms, you will have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthem. It should be noted that this article does not pay due attention to the structure of aviation and naval formations, since they are not significantly different from the military.

Motorized rifle battalion of the Russian army consists of management battaliona, headquarters, combat units and support units. Motorized rifle composition battalionbut has changed little since Soviet times, and all the changes are not of a fundamental nature. The main changes affected larger structures: instead of regiments and divisions, brigades appeared, which are now combined into corps.
To the combat units of the motorized rifle battalionbut are
three motorized rifle companies;
mortar battery;
anti-tank platoon;
grenade launcher platoon;
anti-aircraft missile platoon.
In addition, the motorized rifle battalion has service and support units:
communications platoon;
support platoon;
battalion medical station
The battalion command includes the battalion commander - usually a major or lieutenant colonel, his deputy for personnel work and his deputy for armaments.

Headquarters battalionbut includes the chief of staff (he is also the deputy commander battaliona), chief of communications battaliona (he is also the commander of a communications platoon), a chemist-instructor (warrant officer) and a clerk (private).
The communications platoon is designed to organize radio and wire communications in units battalionand.
A communications platoon consists of a commander's armored personnel carrier (the squad leader is also a senior radiotelephone operator, an armored personnel carrier driver) and two radio compartments, each consisting of a squad leader, a senior radio master of a low-power radio station in the first compartment and a senior radiotelephone operator in the second compartment, an electromechanical armored personnel carrier driver in the first compartment and an armored personnel carrier in the second compartment.
In total, the communications platoon has 13 personnel, command armored personnel carriers - 1, wheeled armored vehicles - 2, radio stations - 22, cables - 8 km.
A motorized rifle company is a tactical unit that performs tasks, as a rule, as part of an SME, but can also perform tasks independently in reconnaissance and security, as a tactical airborne assault or a special detachment behind enemy lines.

The mortar battery is designed to suppress and destroy manpower and fire weapons located openly, in trenches and dugouts, on the reverse slopes of heights and ravines. Depending on the nature of the target, the duration of fire and the consumption of projectiles can suppress manpower in an area of \u200b\u200b2-4 hectares and conduct defensive fire at the front up to 400 m.
The mortar battery consists of a battery control (battery commander, deputy for political affairs, foreman, medical instructor, senior driver), a control platoon (platoon leader, reconnaissance department, communications department), two fire platoons (four in each). In total in a mortar battery: personnel - 66 people, radio stations - 4, mortars - 8, trucks - 8, cables - 4 km. True, recently, instead of two platoons, mortar batteries consist of three platoons, the first two of which are armed with three 2B14 Trays, and the third three. Sometimes the composition battalionand the self-propelled mortar battery turns on. It consists of two platoons of four units.

As part of the Serdyukov-Taburetkin reform, it was planned to replace all mortars with six self-propelled howitzers 2S34 "Host" - a modernized version of the well-known, but now this issue is hanging in the air.

An anti-tank platoon is an artillery fire unit designed to destroy enemy tanks and other armored vehicles. It can also be used to destroy other enemy fire weapons, including those located in fortifications.
The anti-tank platoon consists of a platoon control (platoon commander, deputy platoon commander, 2 machine gunners, senior driver, driver), three ATGM squads and three grenade launcher squads.

The ATGM squad consists of a squad leader (aka senior operator), a senior operator, two operators, a machine gunner, a senior driver and a launch complex driver or 9M113M Competition M.
The grenade launcher section consists of a section commander, a grenade launcher commander, a grenade launcher gunner, and two gun numbers. SPG-9M-1 grenade launchers.
In total, the anti-tank platoon of personnel includes 42 people, launchers of ATGM 9K11-6, SPG-9M grenade launchers - 3, - 5.

An anti-tank platoon is available only in battalione, whose motorized rifle companies are equipped with ami. In the company, each combat vehicle is equipped with its own. Instead of an anti-tank platoon, a machine-gun platoon was not included in the company, consisting of two machine-gun sections with three company machine guns in each.

The grenade launcher platoon is designed to destroy enemy manpower and fire weapons located outside of shelters, in open trenches (trenches) and behind folds of the terrain.
A grenade launcher platoon consists of a platoon commander, a deputy platoon commander, those squads (each squad leader, 2 senior gunner-gunner of a grenade launcher, 2 gunner-grenade launcher, machine gunner, senior driver or driver).
In total, there are 26 personnel in the grenade launcher platoon, 30-mm automatic grenade launchers -17-6, - 3.
An anti-aircraft missile platoon is designed to destroy enemy aircraft, helicopters, unmanned vehicles and airborne assault forces at low and medium altitudes.
A platoon consists of a platoon commander, a deputy platoon commander (he is also a squad leader), three squads (each squad leader, 2 anti-aircraft gunners, a machine gunner, a senior driver and a driver).
In total, the platoon of personnel - 16 people, launchers "Strela-2M" or "Igla" - 9, -3.

Medical Center battalionand intended to collect the wounded in battalione and their evacuation, as well as to provide medical assistance. The platoon consists of the chief of a medical center (warrant officer), a medical instructor, two orderlies, a senior driver, and three medical orderlies. The first aid post has four cars and a 1-AP-1.5 trailer.
The support platoon is designed for uninterrupted material and technical support, maintenance of routine repairs of combat and transport equipment battalionand,
A platoon consists of a platoon commander (warrant officer) and a deputy platoon commander (also known as a squad leader), from a maintenance department, an automobile department, and an economic department.

In Soviet times in battalionthere was a reconnaissance platoon and an engineer-sapper platoon, but they are not provided for by the current states.
The maintenance department consists of a department commander, a senior auto-electrician-accumulator, a car mechanic (assembler), a driver-car mechanic.
The department has: personnel - 4 people, a maintenance workshop for MTO-AT-1, ZIL-131, ZIL-157 under MTO-AT-1.
The automobile squad consists of the squad leader (he is also the deputy platoon commander), 3 senior drivers and 5 drivers. The department has: personnel - 9 people, GAZ-66 trucks for personal belongings and company property - 3; GAZ-66 trucks for kitchens and food - 4; trucks - 9, RPK-27, automatic machines - 352, RPG - 33, trucks - 20.
In a motorized rifle battalionthat is, there are 462 personnel, 120-mm mortars - 8, - 6, Anti-aircraft launchers "Strela-2M" - 9, - 42, BMP-2K - 1, - 18, RPK - 27, automatic weapons - 315, RPG -7-39.

This will be my first blog post. Not a full-fledged article in terms of the number of words and information, but a very important note, which can be read in one breath and is almost more useful than many of my articles. So, what is a squad, platoon, company and other concepts known to us from books and films on the screen? And how many people do they contain?

What is a platoon, company, battalion, and so on

• Branch
• Platoon
• Battalion
• Brigade
• Division
• Housing
• Army
• Front (district)

These are all tactical units in the branches and types of troops. I have arranged them in order from fewer people to more people so that it is easier for you to remember them. During my service, I most often met with everyone up to the regiment.

From the brigade and above (in terms of the number of people) for 11 months of service, we did not even speak. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I serve not in a military unit, but in an educational institution.

How many people do they include?

Branch. There are 5 to 10 people. The squad leader is the squad leader. The squad leader is a sergeant's position, therefore the chest of drawers (short for squad leader) is often a junior sergeant or sergeant.

Platoon. The platoon includes from 3 to 6 squads, that is, it can reach from 15 to 60 people. The platoon commander is in charge. This is already an officer's position. It is occupied by at least a lieutenant, maximum - by a captain.

Company. The company includes from 3 to 6 platoons, that is, it can consist of 45 to 360 people. The company commander is in command. This is a major position. In fact, a senior lieutenant or captain is in command (in the army, the company commander is called affectionately and abbreviated as company commander).

Battalion. These are either 3 or 4 companies + headquarters and individual specialists (gunsmith, signalman, snipers, etc.), a mortar platoon (not always), sometimes - air defense and tank destroyers (hereinafter - PTB). The battalion includes from 145 to 500 people. Commander of the battalion commander (abbreviated - battalion commander).

This is the post of lieutenant colonel. But in our country both captains and majors are in command, who in the future may become lieutenant colonels, provided that this post is maintained.

Regiment. From 3 to 6 battalions, that is, from 500 to 2500+ people + headquarters + regimental artillery + air defense + PTB. The regiment is commanded by a colonel. But a lieutenant colonel can also.

Brigade. A brigade is several battalions, sometimes 2 or even 3 regiments. The brigade usually has 1,000 to 4,000 people. The colonel is in command. The abbreviated name of the position of the brigade commander is brigade commander.

Division. These are several regiments, including artillery and, possibly, tank + rear service + sometimes aviation. Commanded by a colonel or major general. The number of divisions is different. From 4,500 to 22,000 people.

Housing. These are several divisions. That is, there are 100,000 people in the region. The corps is commanded by a major general.

Army. From two to ten divisions of different types of troops + rear units + repair shops and so on. The number can be very different. On average, from 200,000 to 1,000,000 people and more. The army is commanded by a major general or a lieutenant general.

Front. In peacetime - a military district. It is already difficult to give exact numbers here. They vary from region, military doctrine, political environment, and the like.

The front is already a self-sufficient structure with reserves, warehouses, training units, military schools, and so on. The front commander is in command. This is a lieutenant general or army general.

The composition of the front depends on the assigned tasks and the situation. Usually the front includes:

• control;
• missile army (one - two);
• army (five - six);
• tank army (one - two);
• air army (one - two);
• air defense army;
• separate formations and units of various types of troops and special forces of front-line subordination;
• formations, units and institutions of the operational rear.

The front can be reinforced by formations and units of other services of the Armed Forces and the reserve of the Supreme High Command.

What other similar tactical terms are there?

Subdivision. This word designates all military formations that make up the unit. Squad, platoon, company, battalion - they are all united by one word "subdivision". The word comes from the concept of division, divide. That is, the part is divided into divisions.

Part. This is the main unit of the Armed Forces. The term "unit" most often refers to a regiment and a brigade. The external signs of the unit are: the presence of its own office work, military facilities, a bank account, postal and telegraphic addresses, its own official stamp, the commander's right to give written orders, open (44th training tank division) and closed (military unit 08728) combined-arms numbers. That is, the part has sufficient autonomy.

IMPORTANT! Please note that the terms military unit and military unit do not mean exactly the same thing. The term "military unit" is used as a general designation, without specifics. If we are talking about a specific regiment, brigade, and so on, then the term "military unit" is used. Usually, its number is also mentioned: "military unit 74292" (but you cannot use "military unit 74292") or, in short, military unit 74292.

Compound... By default, this term only fits the division. The very word "connection" means - to connect the parts. The division headquarters has the status of a unit. Other parts (regiments) are subordinate to this unit (headquarters). All this together is the division. However, in some cases, a brigade may also have a connection status. This happens if the brigade includes separate battalions and companies, each of which itself has the status of a unit.

Union. This term includes corps, army, army group and front (district). The headquarters of the association is also a part to which various formations and units are subordinate.

Outcome

There are no other specific and grouping concepts in the military hierarchy. In any case, in the Ground Forces. In this article, we did not touch upon the hierarchy of military formations of aviation and navy. However, the attentive reader can now quite simply and with minor errors imagine the naval and aviation hierarchy.

Now it will be easier for us to conduct a dialogue, friends! After all, every day we are getting closer to starting to speak the same language. You learn more and more military terms and meanings, and I am getting closer to civilian life!))

I wish everyone to find in this article what they were looking for,
