Chapter 545 Weekend Officer Inspection
Military life, no matter which country it is in, is generally boring and procedural. Especially in the U.S. Army, which has a clearer system and clearer division of powers and responsibilities. To be honest, although life is easy, it is inevitably boring.
In daily life, in addition to helping Lieutenant McGuire write the documents that need to be submitted to the superiors and going to the training ground for inspections, occasionally when they are free, the officers will go to the training ground to practice or go to the gym to exercise.
But after doing these things, Carter is very bored most of the time...
Not to mention the officer's staff work, map operations, etc., let's not talk about whether they need it or not. Even if it is needed now, Carter has not studied that aspect yet. In addition to daily training, Company C has not yet arranged for field training.
Currently, new training is under the control of the Training and Doctrine Command; the training and professional skills upgrading of combat medics are under the overall management of the Medical Command...
Looking at the dense headquarters setup of the Army Department, basically, the training in professional fields does not require the headquarters management of the Southern European Task Force, let alone the grassroots companies. In addition, the code stipulates that the Army
Officers cannot play too closely with soldiers, which also means that some small fights, fun, and fun among comrades have nothing to do with Carter...
The feeling of going to work is getting stronger and stronger. I go to the company headquarters to open the door on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, have breakfast at 7:30, start working from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock. Then I eat lunch until 12:30, and continue in the afternoon...
After a day's work in the evening, you can either go to the officers' club in the camp to have a few drinks and relax, or go back to the dormitory to practice piano. As the birthplace of the violin, it is in Italy, especially in northern Italy, the Veneto region.
Practice piano in Vicenza...
Through the window, looking out at the street, the old buildings full of Renaissance and 13th-century classical styles... Although it is useless for music, it gives people a strong sense of immersion in their mentality.
.
It seems that if you don’t play two pieces of music here, you won’t be in tune with the occasion!
"Dongdongdong..."
"Coming!"
Putting down the Guarneri in his hand, Carter answered the door and opened the door. Remember the website address.9bqugeom
"Are you practicing the piano again?"
"Hey, yes. What's the matter? Lieutenant."
"I'm going out for inspection soon. When I heard the sound of the piano, I came over to ask if you want to go together? You haven't gone out for a walk since you arrived in Vicenza, right?"
"Is this convenient?"
Officers inspected over the weekend...
The U.S. military stationed abroad often gives people the impression that they are barbaric, rude, and domineering like crabs in the cities where they are stationed. In fact, the U.S. military also has actions similar to pickets within the U.S. military.
On weekends, when the peak of outings comes, especially on weekend nights, the local garrison will organize officers and military police to form an inspection team and enter various occasions in the garrison city, especially nightclubs, where garrison soldiers are prone to make trouble, and conduct inspections.
If caught violating discipline, life will be difficult for the soldiers...
Of course, on the whole, the local people will be more unlucky. For example, there is a US soldier who had a conflict with the Italians in Vicenza. After the two sides had a "friendly exchange", there was nothing the local police could do.
Those in charge of US soldiers can only report the case to the local municipal government, and then send the case to the Task Force Headquarters in Southern Europe through administrative channels to condemn, urge, etc...
In order to maintain the relationship with the station, the US military usually does not treat the soldier too indulgently. However, after all, there is a difference between intimacy and distance, as long as the US soldier does not kill anyone or cause public outrage. Generally speaking, the most serious punishment is
, it is nothing more than being transferred back to the country for cold treatment, or the most serious, being dismissed from the military...
"What's the inconvenience? With more people, we can do more work!"
The neighbor, Lieutenant McGuire, smiled and became more fond of Carter.
After nearly a week of contact, no one is a fool. Just looking at the Vacheron Constantin on Carter's wrist and the Guarneri, although I don't recognize the brand, the appearance of it is worth a lot of money.
McGuire knew very well that this guy was from a big family.
I have never heard of the surname Black, and it may indeed be that he is not as famous and powerful as Roosevelt and others, but compared to a civilian officer like himself, to use an inappropriate word, Carter, who is so impressive, is obviously a former aristocratic officer.
Even though their current military rank is lower than yours, and they don’t even have a formal military rank. But McGuire firmly believes that if Carter stays in the army, his military rank will definitely not be as good as that of his opponent in ten years...
Faced with such a person, who is also easy to talk to and abides by the rules, McGuire is even more eager to make friends. What kind of thing is taking Carter out for a walk to make his presence felt?
"Okay, then I'll go change my clothes, wait a minute!"
"No problem, I'll go downstairs and bring the car over first..."
...
...
"Palladio Street, this is one of the main streets of Vicenza. Palladio can also be said to be the shaper of this city. A large number of buildings are from his handiwork. Compared with our American cities, this place is smaller.
But it’s also more refined.”
Sitting in the jeep, Carter's eyes looked at the cityscape passing by outside the car. Carter had always thought that the campus of Yale University already had a classical charm, but it was only when he arrived in Europe that he discovered...
These people are the real oldgold...
People who don't like it may think this place is backward and the streets are small. But people who like it... this is the palace of art...
A large number of medieval buildings have been handed down to this day. After getting used to seeing floor-to-ceiling windows in high-rise buildings, those with a hint of decay can bring an alternative ideological impact to people.
It's hard to describe this feeling. Logically speaking, Carter himself has no interest in this style. But when he first watched this scene, he could still feel a simple and heavy atmosphere coming towards him. It seemed to have weight.
The feeling was pressing in my heart. For a moment, Carter didn't know how to evaluate it...
Perhaps, silent experience is the best answer...
"By the way, Lieutenant, I would like to ask, is Cremona far from here?"
"If you drive, it's about 140 kilometers west. Wait until next weekend. I'll talk to Sergeant Rubeus and ask him to clear up the timetable. You can just drive there by yourself."
Italy, even the capital of string instruments in the world, is also the town of Cremona where super luthiers such as Guarneri and Stravadi were born...
McGuire naturally knew that, and he was not surprised that Carter wanted to go to Cremona. On the contrary, McGuire seemed very happy that Carter took the initiative to create opportunities for himself and offered favors.
And this is exactly what Carter wanted:
"Haha, thank you very much, Lieutenant. I wanted to buy a piano in the past. It would be bad to keep using someone else's piano now, but this person, after using a good thing, it is difficult to accept anything worse than it.
..This holiday really helped me a lot!”
"It's okay, it's okay. What's the big deal? Regulations are dead, but people are alive. You are all young people. It's the time of your youth. It's not okay to lock you all in the army and not let you out.
suitable..."
