• In days or months;
• in hours (minutes and seconds);
• in percentages.

DMB timers come in several forms. This:

• Electronic;
• applications;
• homemade, handmade;
• certain sites;
• computer program;
• demobilization calendar online.

Reference! The easiest way is to use the timer on our website. Simply enter the date of the call and find out when the soldier will have all the important events

Designations in the demobilization counter

The table above lists the names of the events, but a more detailed description of each is provided below:

1. Equator. It is not difficult to guess that the equator is half the service. On this day, the soldier realizes that exactly the same amount of time is left to serve.
2. 100 days to home. It is even easier to guess here, since everything is indicated in the title. After 100 days, the soldier will ride the train home (here it is important to understand that this date does not take into account the duration of the trip home)
3. North. It is difficult to say why the date is called exactly when the serviceman has 50 days left before demobilization.
4. Space - 10 days before demobilization.
5. 0 means that tomorrow the long-awaited demobilization.

Who needs an online counter

Such a counter can be used by both soldiers and their friends and relatives. Anyone who wants to enter the start date of the service and find out all the important dates during the service. There are no restrictions.

Most often, the online counter is used by female soldiers who are waiting for their servicemen to go home. Some people use do-it-yourself timers, i.e. you can cross out dates on a cardboard or plain sheet.

Everyone who has been in the army will agree that the most cherished dream of a soldier from the first days is demobilization. At first, when the road home is still in the distant future, you have to forget about free life and betray yourself to a completely caring foreman who will try not to let you get bored from the very first days of your stay in the unit. After acclimatization, you already want to constantly warm yourself with the thought that less and less time is left before.

With the transition to a one-year service, many traditions have lost their meaning, and some have been preserved in a modified form, but one thing is for sure - everyone is looking forward to their last demobilization chord, but for now certain dates are comforting the soul, symbolizing the imminent release of the long-awaited order.

Human psychology is so arranged that it is easier for him to spend time if the final moment is known. An example of this is the case when a student counts the minutes before the break, the worker counts the days before the vacation, and the soldier counts the months before the demobilization. It is no coincidence that the months are indicated here, since any soldier begins to dream of demobilization long before its onset. To make the waiting time more fleeting, certain ceremonies and traditions were invented by whole generations, allowing to meet the desired moment with dignity.

Preparing for demobilization

In the modern army, 300 days before the order is not marked in any way. In fact, this is 10 months, which, with a 12-month service life, are not perceived in any way. Meanwhile, before a soldier became a grandfather. The senior draft went to the dmb, young replenishment arrived, and grandfather had some indulgences that are characteristic of almost every military unit.

200 days before the order, it was possible to start preparing an album - an indispensable attribute of any demobilization. But this status was secretly assigned only 100 days before the cherished date. From that moment on, the demobilization took under the protection of a certain "spirit" and made sure that others did not offend him. For such patronage, the young fighter had certain duties, which were then remembered without any malice or resentment.

In fact, the demobilization timer appeared several decades ago. Every day, a soldier from the young replenishment reported to his grandfather how many days he had left to serve before demobilization. Naturally, this was done behind the scenes, in the most playful form, because even the spirit itself was soon expected to receive an honorary status.

The soldier's fantasy was enough to congratulate grandfather on 100 or 50 days, to do it in such a way as to remind him of the sweet moment when the road home awaits him. In each part, traditions were observed in their own way.

• Some cut off one centimeter a day from the measuring tape. Thus, the extreme number on the tape showed the day of demobilization.
• A calendar was also used for clarity, and the countdown was made by puncturing holes with a sewing needle in the date of the current day.

It is customary to congratulate the future demobilization in a humorous form. The spirit and demobilization on the date when 50 days are left to go home can change places. The spirit could ask Grandpa to straighten the bed or find a cigarette. The young replenishment did not go to great liberties, since for this you can get in full the next day.

Examples of army folklore can be given for quite a long time, since each part arranged its own order. As for the counter, anything could be adapted for this business. For example, any elementary mathematical problem should contain in its answer a number showing how much is left to serve. The duties of the ward included the search for a cigarette by the end. The cherished number must be written on it. There are cases when in the shower room on the mirror the date loomed with toothpaste.

Everyone is well aware that the grandfather himself remembers very well how much time he has left to serve, and the assignment of duties to newly arrived military personnel is not considered as a manifestation of tough hazing. During the period of active preparation for dismissal, young recruits can receive a number of presents from the demobilization in the form of oil or cigarettes.

Possibilities of a modern mobile application

Recent changes in army life have allowed servicemen use phones freely. For those who own a smartphone, an application called "demobilization counter" is presented. There is no copyright on the name, so you can find a number of similar programs with similar names. The application works on any platform with Android OS. The program interface is designed in various ways. The essence of its execution lies in the fact that the user in a special calendar indicates the date of his call. From this moment, the calculation of the service period is made. From the outside, this procedure is very similar to an online calculator.

Additional features allow you to diversify the application. The army calendar allows you to notify about all significant events for a soldier. It indicates key dates such as 20 days, 10 days before the order, the change of season. You can count the service life not only in days, but also in percentage. For this, a visual scale is provided, which gradually fills up, recalling the inevitability of demobilization.
