Everyday Life and Missions of the Soldier

The life of the soldier is framed by rules of life which are common, whatever your regiment of membership. Having previously been in the military, I share with you an example of a "basic" day that I experienced.

The typical day

A typical day in a regiment is devoted to becoming a better soldier, this requires the exercise of his specialty. You will put these learnings into practice through practice. Sports activities and equipment maintenance are important moments in the daily life of the soldier, the objective being to be operational at all times.

However, this kind of typical day only applies to a majority of Army regiments.
