Instructions from overseas colleagues. )))
1. Be honest when recruiting. – do not embellish or exaggerate. If you show your best side during operations – it will only be a plus, how monetary, so in career.
2. Do exactly that, what you get paid for. Do just that much, how much is expected of you – no more, nothing less.
3. Take your time to make friends – it's better to have one or two and get closer to them gradually. Very good, when you are in the same office – you can cover each other's backs.
4. Do not get involved in political disputes, military or personal topics – keep your opinion to yourself.
5. Count on yourself only – is always. Help is needed – ask for her, but try to return the courtesy as quickly as possible.
6. Nobody should take their word for it – even to the commander of your squad. Obey orders clearly, from and to – without zeal and without laziness.
7. Do not give bribes – neither military nor civil. It is worth doing it once – and they will never get rid of you. If you need something, but you can only get it with a bribe – Most likely, You do not need it.
8. Don't talk about your biography – excluding recruitment interviews, and then only answer specific questions. Sometimes unnecessary information about you can turn against you. – or be used as a means of blackmailing your relatives / friends.
9. Always keep your things and equipment with you. Do not lend them to anyone under any circumstances.. You bought them for your money – you need them more.
10. Always have one verified address and send emails to it. If anything happens – then through it it will be possible to transmit the news.
11. Always watch everyone; always learn – there are no know-it-alls in this world.
12. No alcohol until personal time.
13. No drugs. point.
14. Don't mess with gossips. You will hang out with them – you yourself will become, and then – goodbye work. Forever and ever.
15. Stay away from intrigue – especially political. You are a soldier, not a spy.
16. Don't trust the locals, don't mess with them and don't rely on them. Be polite – but only. Do you wanna be Mother Teresa – go to the Peace Corps.
17. Even if you fulfill all the requirements flawlessly, there will still be people (in the headquarters or in the ranks) who will be unhappy with you and will not miss the chance to find fault. Spit on them and keep doing your thing. They will still find someone to cling to – not to you, so who else.
18. Don't mess with political assassinations – except for moments, when a clear and unambiguous order is given for this during the operation. You better spit and walk away. Not worth it. Too many variables to take into account.
19. Try to establish good relations with the local police. An occasional souvenir (not a bribe), especially if it's a deficit (and there is almost everything there) in the future will pay off a hundredfold in terms of the necessary information.
20. Never desert. If you feel, that the task is beyond your power – go to the commander, explain your doubts to him and in nine cases out of ten he will release you from the task (and from the contract too). If not – then be patient: you were not driven to this express.
21. Know your weapon like the back of your hand. The same applies to enemy weapons.. Never take it easy. veterans, who had a couple of decades of service behind them died from an accidental shot. Do not think, that you are cooler than them.
22. Keep a knife and a pistol on your body at all times. Don't forget for a second, Where are they. And do so, so others do not know about them.
23. The same goes for money and passport..
24. Never sign up for side quests, without completing the primary contract. the main thing – sequence. You will chase two hares – you won't catch one.
25. Always know, where exactly does your unit go after receiving an order. Don't comfort yourself with thought, what, they say, you know. Make sure, what do you know.
26. Find the time, to let yourself get used to the local food, local climate and local territory. But do not drag out this time.
27. Keep yourself clean between surgery.
28. Don't get carried away with local food. At all, try to eat lightly – as far as it's possible. Drink only water two weeks before surgery – exclude any alcohol.
29. Respect local customs and be courteous to elders. Being in the countryside, never try to communicate with women – And don't try in cities either.
30. Not sure about grenades, I passed and BB – let the expert understand them. Watch, but don't meddle with your help. He gets paid for his work. You get paid for your – guard him.
31. Never reveal all your talents and potential to the fullest – nor in front of colleagues, nor in front of the commanders. Use 90% its potential – remaining 10% use only in exceptional cases.
32. Don't be upset, if the operation went wrong, as planned. Not always lucky.
33. Even if you're tired and not on duty – go in for sports. Little of, that it will dispel the boredom, it also helps to keep the shape.
34. People are different. Know the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in your unit – anyway, won't hurt.
35. Try to remember who's name – always helps, especially with the local population.
36. Remember subordination. Be strictly formal at work, out of service – polite. Familiarity leads to disrespect.
37. Be brief and to the point during briefings.
38. Pity and sympathy are alien here. Pay no attention and do your thing – survive this moment too. More good guys have died from these emotions, than bullets and grenades.
39. If someone has let their unit down in operations – this is not your business. The command will deal with him by itself.
40. the, which of the above is not your default character trait – hack and repeat, until it becomes these very features.
