Looks like some of the stuff they did when I was in Marine boot camp. One fellow had to wear a bucket over his head for 2 or 3 days for some infraction. When he would screw up (it's kinda hard to march or do calistetics with a bucket on your head) the DI would bang on the bucket with his swagger stick.


Aim for the exit hole

I'm not the first time I meet in the English texts of this expression - "socks made from burlap". What does it mean?

Russian soldiers are not issued socks; they get a square piece of wool cloth which they have to wrap around their feet. Portyanki. If it was good enough for Peter the Great, it is good enough for us.
Not sure about the burlap thing.
I did hear that they were planning to get actual socks, as we know them, soon.

Oh, American military intelligence knows about portjanki? I thought it is a secret weapon remains a mystery to the West and will provide us with a win in the turning point of the war. In fact, socks (size 40x70 cm) very comfortable in boots without lacing; they condense feet, and socks - no. So the debate around them unlikely finished. Now in our army wear shoes, so armed with normal socks. I personally wear portjanki with boots and felt boots, but, of course, desired the skill for carrying.
