DAILY ROUTINE

I am a first-year student at the Lugansk State University of Internal Affairs. I entered this university because I wanted to study law. When I graduate from this university I will be a militia officer. I understand I must work hard to become a good specialist.

Our university is also a military school that is why the daily program includes not only instructions and classes but also military training, drill and ceremonies, physical training and interior guard duty.

The daily routine starts with the command “reveille” at 6 o’clock. We get up and do our morning exercises. At 7 o’clock we have breakfast. Then we have spare time to prepare for classes. Our classes begin at 9 sharp and last till 13.30 (half past one). Normally we have three lessons a day. After classes we form up at the drill ground and go to the canteen to have dinner.

According to the daily program we have time for self-preparation from half past two to six o’clock. At that time we can go to the reading room to prepare for seminars and practical classes. In the evening we can go in for sport. Many students prefer boxing, wrestling, combat fighting, others to play tennis, volleyball or basketball. At half past nine we form up for the roll-call and at ten o’clock we go to bed with the command “taps”.

Interior guard duty is also a part of the students’ life as it makes them to be disciplined and executive. Students are detailed for duty according to a duty roster. The detail for the guard consists of an officer of the day with necessary officers and privates. The senior of the guard is to perform the duties of the commander of the guard. He reports to the officer of the day that his relief is ready to be posted. A tour of duty lasts 24 hours. It consists of a system of patrols and fixed posts. Sentinels on post and guards on duty are posted armed and equipped according to there particular duty. The officer of the day inspects the guard and sentinels at least once between midnight and the daytime and he visits the guardhouse. At the end of the tour a new guard relieves the old one.
