Salad - Combridge
In our squadron served a "salabone" by the name of Polykarpov, our grandparents were terribly envious of him and referred only to "you", but at the same time treated him with great sympathy, and everyone was happy to help the guy to master himself in the new army environment for him. He had to explain elementary things, at first he didn’t even understand the difference between salads and grandparents... Well, a man is far from all this, what will you take from him? Two more years ahead, we will be able to...
Polykarpov himself was a small, ridiculous eye-catcher, spinning with a solder in his workshop all day long. The only thing that rescuingly distinguished him from the rest of the salads was the title: Polykarpov was a lieutenant-two-year-old.
Of course, we frequently kissed him in a friendly way, not without that.
They once advised:
- Comrade Lieutenant, our Colonel, recently debilitated the Adjunct,
He is also a 2-year-old leiteha and is now a combridge without an adjuvant. Ask to
to him, there lafa, ride yourself on the commander's car and no fuck
Do it...

When a combridge came to us in the workshops, everyone ran away to watch this scene and Polykarpov was like this:
Comrade Colonel, let me report: I want to be yours.
The adjuvant. I just dream...
Combridge was a foolish man who understood where the wind was blowing from. He squeezed around us with a fierce look and replied:
I’m not a general yet, I’m just dreaming. To our common regret,
Colonel does not have an adjunct, but if I suddenly become a general, your
The candidate, I will consider first.

Another time we found out to the lieutenant that the combridge’s son was a naval officer.
(which is true...) and the old man loves to listen to songs under the guitar, especially about the sea (in fact - the very type of guitar, his wildly raced...) The lieutenant broke the instrument, rehearsed from the very morning and when the combridge, bypassing the part, looked at us, we were on the "shuher", whispered to Polykarpov, that it was time for him to sit in the smoker, sang:
Sea-sea, the world is bottomless.
The colonel went in, pretended to be necessary, walked around the territory, gave a couple of valuable instructions and finally stopped near the lieutenant. Standing up, listening to the foot, even with a singing a little helped, and as soon as the last chord sounded, carefully took the guitar and silently without emotions half it about the iron mushroom.
The lieutenant was not offended by us, the officer was offended by the soldiers, it was the last thing... But we respected him for his desperate impudence and courage in the face of the chief. Not everyone is given it, and after one occasion everyone began to call him "Combridge".
On the day of the Soviet Army, a parade was held in a part, but Lieutenant Polykarpov was mentally no longer in service, but on vacation, yesterday he "passed" the officers for leaving and today immediately after the parade, he must run to the station. Mood is great.
Combridge spoke something brave-reconstructing, suddenly seeing the smiling face of our lieutenant, stopped his report and cried out: Comrade Lieutenant, and you are apparently not interested in what I am talking about?! You have something funny there! Tell us, we will laugh! You are silent, you just laughed!! Per you think that the brigade command - once spit and I am here before all the fools!!? Well, try to command yourself, and I will laugh at the side! Why are you silent like a red lady? Lieutenant Polykarpov!! to
and I!
Get out in the middle of the square and take command of the brigade!
There is!
The lieutenant walked out, looked at five hundred people and said:
A part! be equal! and calmly!! Listen to my team: I’m going today
short-term leave to the homeland and leave the colonel older than myself
of Ershova! Goodbye to comrades!

And some of them said, “Thank you! Television by Rick! The N-A-T! »
Polykarpov turned and, without turning, went to his workshop for the suitcase.
To the honour of the Colonel, it must be said that he was a generous man and the only consequence of the lieutenant's actions was the loud whistle of the combridge on the whole part.
