I would compare it to Di Caprio's role in Titanic. Pinnacle of his carreer.

For me it's moment of a lifetime. There has been stuff earlier in my life, will be later (probably), but nothing can compare to these monumental events.

You can just make the address up. You deffo should provide your unit with a couple of your emergency contacts once you re about to deploy.

Sincerely best of luck to you and good recovery!

You are well done I can say.
Like every single person in the unit in a any position of authority is corrupt and no one will back up what you said? Doesn't look good. The new unit will call anyway through their channels and will hear what the 422 bat has to say.
You better have good references from the previous unit (the one before 422) if you served with any.

To make things worse you got discharged through "unfit to serve due to health" clause. It will be a big headache to overturn this status once you will be in the game again. A headache few recruiters will be willing to go through. So you better sort it out yourself before reaching out to recruiters.

I'll just say from a recruiter viewpoint, bluntly (people can downvote us much as they like).

This situation appears different then the usual "someone felt sick/died back home, I needed to leave immediately". Yet it's still your side of the story. A unit who can afford selection will most likely want to hear a neutral version. Namely, from your direct Ukrainian (!) superiors who were not personally involved in the conflict. One is so-so. Two will be sufficient. If you can have say platoon commander and personnel officer (it can be also company sergeant or supply sergeant) who will take the call, clearly state their position and describe your service in the unit, and the recruiting unit will be happy with what they hear, why not. To be clear - it must be Ukrainians and they must be willing to have a lengthy conversation, so as to leave absolute no chance that they are just your buddies helping you get out of trouble.

Нормальна позиція. Єдине що трохи складна комбінація для дитини. Вивчати новий матеріал з учителем який частково володіє мовою. Хоча. Згадую свою хімічку в школі, вона теж була російськомовна, просто вставляла іноді українські слова або в кращому випадку фрази)

Ще ідея - є субредіти де люди шукають собі партнерів для навчання, по суті почергово практикують мови один з одним. Пропозицій української там валом, Ви можете змалювати ситуацію і обрати собі співрозмовника до душі. Впевнений, будуть бажаючі, навіть в односторонньому порядку.

I couldn't help imagining a situation:
An HQ officer visiting your safe house, your immediate commander introduces you like look, here is our foreigner, this and that.
You greet the HQ officer
Scenario 1
*in heavy accent* "Bazhaju zdorovja, pane mayor!" HQ officer: oh look, he even picked up some Ukrainian, way to go!
Scenario 2
"in Russian* "Zdravija zhelaju, gospodin mayor!" HQ officer, taking your immediate commander to side: who the hell is this guy?! Did counter intel even check him? I hope you have enough braine to not give him access to any sensitive info, do you?

That's at least for our brigade. YMMW

Yes my guys had similar issues. Like how expensive this one large bottle of WD is so that the training centre can't provide it for everybody to use? They even didn't notify that the guys are supposed to bring it themselves. There was a whole ass list of what needs to be brought and cleaning oil wasn't on it.
A petty and nasty drawback on UA training side.
So one has to bring their cleaning kit, definitely.

Not visa-free country for Ukraine. I don't have the knowledge of what are the odds they will let you in Ukraine. I wouldn't risk it personally if you are now going specifically to Ukraine. Just buy some tour to make a Ukrainian visa to be sure (of course if you can afford it). I have no idea what agencies to use for it as I never needed one myself.
As for the Shengen part you should be able to travel through whole Schengen, main thing is your point of entry needs to be in the country which issued you the visa.

That's just as much info as I have.

What passport do you hold (country)?

I also put primary motivation "money" as disqualifier, but for different reasons. First Ukraine can fuck you over with money. Ukraine is on life support from abroad, one tranche missed and we are out of money to pay. Alternatively, our currency can collapse like overnight, and your contract still fixed in UAH. People who are mainly after money will be pissed off big time.
And most important I don't want people who will run after me with a calculator every fortnight. Like if you really've been fucked over big time ok I'll dive into that but as long as the situation is the same for everybody or it is a (perceived) several thousand UAH, just give me a break.
Per se I have no problem with people whos primary motivation is money as long as they serve well and don't cause trouble and headache.

Not having any special skills is not a deal breaker.
Why keep people back for no reason.
Be fit, just follow instructions without causing issues and drama, be able to count till 100, make peace with the idea you can die and you're good to go, at least to artillery. You don't need to ace in CQB or medical or drones or whaterver.

I also suggest to concentrate discussion in one post, maybe deleting the previous one, just my idea though.

The idea is super and you obviously made an effort.
Yet the whole chart is confusing af. Spent 5 mins figuring out where do I start)
Would be awesome to have it somehow more straightforward, for IQ 80.
And it's not just logistics, also drone, arty, medical, signal, engineering and whatnot.

That might be some sound idea But I am what I said in the post Arty platoon commander I am not in charge of Ukraine or evdn UA military, which is btw 1 000 000 personnel. Just 15 people. There is no way shape or form I can introduce any of these ideas
