I will try to give more detailed feedback from my service experiences over this weekend, but please keep one thing in mind: the branch I served in (VV MVD) is in juristiction of Department of Internal Affairs, not Department of Defence. Lots of things were the same as in regular Armed Forces, but also lots of things were different because we were train to deal with different type of war (such as non-existing front lines, for example, Chechnja) and different missions.

No problem on the language. In the late 80's I was on a mission to go to the USSR with the inspectors in accordance with the SALT II treaty and we had GRU escorts. Were they the Military version of the KGB? Is this something similar to what you were assigned?
