March 2014:
- What were the difficulties?
- The fact is that the equipment since 2010, as I serve in part, did not see any fuel at all. It was dry and dry in the pits.
With "avatars" (i.e. drunks) at that time have already figured out?
- I had no experience of that at that time, so we borrowed the experience of 24 brigades. Which was, perhaps, not quite humane, but effective. So we started to apply at home.
- Has it helped?
- Yes, it was quite effective. The people in their arms had weapons, and they themselves understood how dangerous a person with guns in a state of intoxication could be. Therefore, these methods concerned all successively - greyhounds, healthy, old, young. Without regret. Because now you will regret it, and he will do mischief. So brought up. And people really changed. Because even a 50-year-old "bugai" healthy, who considers himself a navel of the land, after certain activities changed his behavior. Therefore, with "avatars" we sorted out quickly enough.
Well, and the relationship in the team probably played a role. Human relations between the rank and file officers - it was effective. And it helped me in the most important thing - to achieve the coherence of my unit, its manageability and learning ability. Perhaps, that's why it was our 8th battery that was the first of our brigade to leave for the ATO zone.
Then you really were lucky that you refused so little ...
- Yes.After us, another battery was put forward, so they set us up for example. They said: here, not one of them refused, but you ... Several embellished reality, in a word.
And, you know, with those people with whom we fought then, in 2014, we communicate until now. Every year we gather in Sumy on October 14. Even when they were demobilized in 2015, I told them, representatives of the first wave: the day of the 8th battery - on October 14. I urge everyone on this day to gather, communicate, make friends. And people are going to. Moreover, now it is already an official day off. And the volunteers found sponsors who finance these meetings. And these eight, which then refused - it so happened that no one from the collective waiting for them, no one for their own does not recognize, and communication with them has long been lost ...
But I'm already distracted. In AT) we arrived without incident. Each driver then already knew the specifics of his car, how to manage it, what to do in case of a breakdown. If that happened, the problems were solved very quickly . Therefore, 600 km from Sum to the destination, we overcame our own speed.
