Russian recruitment show in school goes wrong - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

The Kremlin's latest university events look less like career guidance and more like a strange live performance. Across the country, students are being invited to what appear to be ordinary meetings, lectures, or employer presentations. But once they arrive, the only employer in the room turns out to be the Ministry of Defense. In the latest episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński takes a closer look at Russia's student recruitment campaign for the military's unmanned units, the strange atmosphere of these events, and why some of them feel more like a surreal live show than a career opportunity. Is it innovation... or mobilization in disguise?

1. You may not get what you think you signed up for. Sounds familiar?

Your contract may be extended.

2. My brother got caught in the stop loss provision of the contract

and was sent at the end of his tour from West Germany to Iraq.

He did receive some good news this week in that the VA has declared him fully disabled so he received a substantial back pay check for the upgrade of his disability level and his monthly benefit also increased significantly.
