School children visited fighters of special militia group of Internal Affairs Directorate in Arkhangelsk region
This time, about 40 school children of the second and seventh school years arrived on an excursion. Despite the age difference, everyone was interested in getting acquainted with the life of a special unit.
At first, there was a brief story about the history of the group, about the missions its fighters perform. Next was an exhibition of weapons: guns, rifles, machine guns... There was more variety than the children's eyes could take in, everyone was eager to hold everything in hands. But the most precious was the privilege to get photographed with the combat weapon to have something to impress one's friends at a later time.
"I feel like a real fighter!" declared a second-year student Andrey Fefilov posing before the camera.
In the engineer combat group room there was a long queue for trying on a bullet-proof jacket. If the second-graders were more eager about touching and trying on everything there was in the room the seventh-graders were more interested in the internals of the equipment and what it was intended for. It is interesting that boys prioritized combat qualities while the girls also appreciated the style of the garments.
"It is stylish!" one of seventh-graders exclaimed trying on the special combat engineer footwear. Thanks to it, she looked ten centimeters higher than usual and felt almost like on a podium.
The children could also try their power in a gym. They earnestly lifted a weight, although with assistance of special militia fighters.
But most of all the children looked forward to seeing a powerful combat vehicle. Seeing an armored troop-carrier, they rushed to it at full speed. Even the skilled fighters of the special militia forces had to sweat coping with such pressure of the visitors. But they are accustomed to such emotions, for such excursions round the special militia base are frequent.
The most important thing is to organize the children. The primary goal is to show and tell them that there is an occupation of serving law enforcement bodies, in a special mission militia group, to offer them something as a goal, to encourage their going in for sports.
