But shes not sure yet if shes really cut out for it so shes attending this camp and the romal barracks these retreats are becoming more popular the German Armed Forces are looking for ways to attract new recruits because fewer and fewer young people want the dangerous job of soldier. Will spend five days getting to know the ins and outs of life in the military but will she end up choosing the armed services. One thousand year old lay out wanted to study music but her grades werent good enough now shes here with the twenty First Armored brigade in the town of august off in north rhinewestphalia shes thinking about becoming a career officer. Hasnt i thought question that there are two lockers here thats the one for our close this room is for four people. She and her roommate are tidying up the sergeant is coming for inspection. Tightness is important in the military are you a tidy person at home. So all of god for you and im not at all but i used to work at a Primary School and it wasnt hard for me there was i could tidy up all day and honestly enjoy it and oh i thought my room is always a mess even when im just cleaned up again right now this is perfect but. Put your pet on the other side. Turn it around so the opening faces the other direction. Tuck that in a bit other than that fine no complaints for. The young guests also get a taste of military drill. In the middle of the all. Basically drill commands or for the sake of order so everything looks neat and we dont like what hes were marching. And they march a lot on the base always information. But the in your face drill sergeant is a thing of the past since uncle americal did away with Compulsory Service the armed forces have been competing with the private sector captain martin waldemar to explains. As a dog was often called when weve heard a fact that were in the rain in for operations and come back situations the tone is the same as its always been but when were teaching we always take the approach of Adult Education the tones off the no different than on the campus or at school because were passing on information today its not just about drills its about complex technology within the armed forces that needs to be explained clearly and calmly and we do. Early in the morning its time to learn how to set up a bit of whack the young civilians arent even fully awake yet ages range from sixteen to early twentys miners are not allowed to touch weapons or ordinance but the experienced soldiers explain everything to them thats going to be just for a quick overview over there we have a show to have to cover the equipment the other thick shell tops for the so just to sleep on the fold out in the coffin for. The twenty First Armored brigade likes to strut its stuff with this eight hundred thirty horsepower buffalo armored military vehicle. And i go in there. And when i got home i suppose to reach the seat or to climb over because and this diva here is the joystick for the front shuttle you can look out up there and clear the way. Up and were going to get out of here you know make some food as im going to here is a little lever here next in the seat and ill just pull that to move the seat up my phone. A lot and. I think has a male come up theres a sea of buttons here so many indicators and i have no idea what theyre all for it is theres a pedal and a clutch here i guess just like in a car. We have a lot and theres a flashlight thats a fan i recognize but thats it. At the side of the armored troop carriers the young campers fall silent. They know that germanys armed forces requisition them after often fatal attacks on german soldiers in afghanistan. One why of course they dont want to go to the front im sure there are people who do but personally i dont but its part of the job. The soldiers at camp make no secret of how dangerous life in the military can be on the contrary they make sure to show the young guests their protective gear and the vehicle armor. That the. First aid training to be used in extreme situations is mandatory for every soldier. You know and everything that you know. Its like putting it. In. Your eyes. And see if we can you imagine doing this for a real life severely injured comrade yeah yes ive often imagined reanimating someone i sometimes even dream about it at night it was the level of promise of the one. Are you afraid of a situation like that actually happening. Sure anybody would be shocked me too but i know what to do and i do it without hesitation. The boxer Armored Transport vehicle the been despair purchased it specifically for dangerous operations abroad its designed to transport soldiers out of the combat zone even under fire. Theyre on it there because if you really go into battle with this thing and somebody shoots out your tires and you know i keep on driving i wouldnt care about that thats the beauty. In the field ambulance laya learns more about dangerous rescue operations. In this structure isnt attached to the floor. In a dangerous situation like a detonation from below or a mine of something anything built into the floor could come loose. And thats all i would think about that could be it would assume because you know the. Next stop the gym. Play and the others have to take a basic fitness test failing means no career in the armed forces. The. Participants have to hold a pull up for at least five seconds with her judo training laya lasts much longer but you know what im driving im going to provide a full five are going to go i thirty go go go go good job. Of that ready set go. To one thousand meter dash is tougher they have to finish in under six and a half minutes later manages this too but shes one of the last to cross the finish line theres been a have to be honest i havent been running in ages and i smoke i used to go to endure and straining but not anymore maybe i should practice a bit at least i passed but i can do better with. The highlight of the weekend camp is the armored brigades arms show the leopard to battle tank fifteen hundred horsepower and over sixty tons yes. The armored infantry takes up position for a simulated battle situation one patrol is ambushed and comes under fire. Camp participants get some hands on training. How do these huge shells fit into such a tiny hole he doesnt its inserted into the main gun the bottom of this part here is what comes out is not the big part of.

This work they can wear make up but we cant. Help them well. As a first group report full of the corporal. Yeah. Yeah it was fun it got pretty exhausting with waking up early and working out but i actually liked having a bit of action. Finding out about the military was really cool we learned a lot in it helping make up my mind. Im definitely going to enlist for voluntary military service as soon as possible for a day or firing reading some shopping but after that i want to. With the German Armed Forces because they dont have my subject but with a civilian degree i might be able to start right off as a career officer i was kind of an event i may do but i think based on the way i feel right now thats what im going to do. That. Now lay and the others know what to expect in the military the tone may have become more civil but the job still involves risks for. One drink in special generalists this.
