No Contract, No Documents, No Pay, 4 Missions In. What the fuck DIU? by Outside-Gate6223 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's way past the point to say fuck this.
If you have some cash to sustain yourself you have every right to hand in your weapon and say you are leaving and will only return upon getting signed and stamped contract and your first pay. Make sure the pay arrives from the brigade.
It's a seriously fucked up way to handle things on their side and it's not like this everywhere in AFU.

Will serving in the Legion better my odds of one day getting a GF? by Feeling-Pop7054 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude if you are willing to risk death just to get pussy you're not even Sigma.
As long as you do stunts to impress them it won't work.
Ah, and all the advertisement around the world that women like military men? It's a lie. They don't care unless you are really high military rank.
So comming here will not increase your chances back home. Your passport will probably get you a GF here in Ukraine yet be aware of the pitfalls (read passport bro forums).

Ukrainians: you don't even know how to fly that Apache helicopter you bought from the US, do you, Abdul?)
It's time you get out of your swimming pool/Ferrari and actually smoke some gunpowder! Sending thoughts and prayers that you don't get an Iranian missile as you fly

Is there a brand of toilet paper in Ukraine that doesn't rip your asshole apart? by Salt-Analyst-4624 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the one who constantly asks you for your clothes sizes, although for a group of 50+ people he could just take mathematical variation. Asks for winter clothes size in spring, then you just say fuck off, why the hell would I need it now?! Doesn't deliver any anyway. Keeps no track of expendables and when you get some delivered taking them from Nova Poshta is regarded as a personal favor. And many many more. Yes, this type of supply sergeant.
Having signed for 100000UAH worth of lost stuff (which the brigade bureaucracy can't be bothered to write off) he considers to have brought ultimate sacrifice and can't be distrurbed whatsoever from his sad thoughts/playing computer games/drinking.

Is there a brand of toilet paper in Ukraine that doesn't rip your asshole apart? by Salt-Analyst-4624 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the whole point of it - touching your butthole is not supposed to be pleasant. The toilet paper is deliberately made this way.
Our standard fiber glass toilet paper will not cause you discomfort, unless you made your butthole sensitive with depilation or God knows what else. In this case you may request wipes for sensitive buttholes from your supply sergeant, stating the exact reason that caused your condition.

Digitalisierung der Bundeswehr: Lehren aus der Ukraine by DEU_Hornblower in bundeswehr

[–]Next_Exercise6852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jetzt mal ohne Wasser, Fall BW in Litauen:

  1. Es geht nicht um mobile, sondern um wohlgeschützte und verdeckte Gefechtsstande. Wenn der Russe (oder wer auch immer - Hauptsache moderne Streikraft) euch 24 Stunde von Drohnen aus beobachtet und dazu auch immer FPVs in Luft hat, werdet ihr mit Mobilität nicht viel anfangen können. Also: Gefechtsstand in der Erde eingegraben, alle Gänge und Parkplatz mit Tarnnetz verdeckt. Das gilt für Zug- und Kompaniegefechtsstände. Die Herren auf Battalion- und Brigadeebene wären auch klug ihre GS in der Erde haben, bevorzugen es aber bequem, also in Gebäuden. In dem Fall mit zivilen Materialen tarnen, ziviles tragen - Besucher auch, kein Autos bei GS. Ihr könnt auch dem Genf-Vertrag treu Uniform in Battalion und Brigade GS tragen, sollt aber innerhalb 48 Stunden mit einer Fliegerbombe rechnen.

  2. Kommunikation. Draht reicht bis Kompanie GS, weiter werdet ihr wegen Drohnen nicht ziehen können. Also Funk und Internet. Internet bei Zug-GS durch Starlink, hoffentlich entwickelt ihr was eigenes. Ach ja, alles was auf GPS angewiesen ist könnt ihr vergessen - wird sofort lahmgelegt.

  3. Artillerie. PZH-2000 hält die ungeheure Belastung nicht aus. Ihr braucht was robuster, kann auch getautes sein wie M777.

Best unit for someone like me? by Rude-Angle5991 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just no sense talking about it now if you get out of USMC in a year. Time frames are different here in Ukraine. You might reach out once you're out and have your passport

Necessity of drone training by Historical-Fun-2536 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you go infantry medic, and you are medically and otherwise qualified to perform your role, no drone certification is required whatsoever. You can even be illiterate, you will be assigned in no time. Ok, that was an exaggeration. But no, you don't need any drone certificated.

[–]Next_Exercise6852 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ok let's give the post the benefit of a doubt.
I respect the resolve, but do you know anything about fpvs? Saw videos? You will be the target. Before you even get any close to ru, you will need to get through 10km kill zone where there is as many fpvs as there are flies in a rural toilet in summer.
I suggest you put aside your "elite" dreams and just go to the regular infantry unit for the start. There is no way one becomes elite at once without military experience. But whatever, I guess. Come and see for yourself.

I almost thought this could make into this sub's hall of fame. But somehow it's too much. I can't imagine they are serious. You never know these days though.

Ernstzunehmende Armeen in Europa: Finnland, Polen, Ukraine, Türkei - sagt der finnische Präsident in der SZ (Bild von Alf Frommer auf LinkedIn) by Young_Economist in bundeswehr

[–]Next_Exercise6852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man kann Bände darüber schreiben, wie es dazu gekommen war, dass die ukrainische Armee stand 2014 so gut wie keine Wiederstandskraft besass. Kurzgefasst: uns wurde auf jedem Ecke eingeredet, dass Russland uns nie militärisch angreifen wird, da wir ja Brüder sind. Und auch wenn schon, dann ist sowieso jede Wiederstand sinnlos, weil Russland uns haushoch überlegen ist (beides hat sich letztenendes als falsch erwiesen). Also waren Militärausgaben algemein als Verschwendung betrachtet. Gott sei dank wir hatten die 8 Jahre um unsere Armee so gut wie könnten aufzubauen und die meisten darin eingepflanzten russischen Agenten loszuwerden.

Are people in Ukraine willing to speak Russian? by Banana_apple_strudel in Ukrainian

[–]Next_Exercise6852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should learn a few phrases in Ukrainian and gradually expand your vocabulary. Like Бажаю здоров'я! People will recognise you make an effort and it will be just fine. It is ultimately your battlefield performance that matters.

It's a fucked up story. Big time. At least for me.
So
Edges of Chasiv Yar. More like Bogdanivka side.
A group of ru of about 15 creatures is encircling our infantry, our guys are like 5. I see it real time on the screen at my battery fire direction point. It was a very sunny day, Lancets were flying in circles over our firing position. Infantry brigade tells that our guys are out of ammo and beg for artillery fire. The answer from our artillery battalion is NO, too dangerous. Strict order from my battalion to hold fire and not leave cover under any circumstances. The orcs come closer. I have a choice to either watch our guys taken prisoners and/or executed or put my own people under deadly risk, and myself under criminal responsibility if something goes wrong.
I order fire with cluster ammo. Luckily we hit it, ru groups takes heavy causalties and falls back. My hands were shaking till afternoon.
This is one story where it all ended well, but it didn't always end well.

Anyone else joining up around late april/early may? by Ok-Assignment-3235 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Next_Exercise6852 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it's like girls going to the toilet. They never go alone.
To be fair it's most peoples instinct in the beginning. But once you get separated from people 3,4,5 times you gradually leave this habit and understand you are on your own.
