About Caves

Two times in a life I had to shin in caves and I completely agree with QK that this is a very beautiful show when you are inside huge caves, but it is just terrible – when you are inside very small caves. From all entertainments I would place it on the latest place!

In caves there is almost no fauna. Everybody loves the sun! I absolutely agree with Skarts that cats, dogs and even wild animal - especially kids - are so sweet creatures. Almost like children!

Staff Shortage

The USA army has carried out autumn draft campaign with the least number of recruits who decided to enter it. This was the first case for all history of completely voluntary principle of recruiting in this country that is since 1973.

Unfavorable for militarians course of recruiting puts under doubt one of the tasks of country Armed Forces development achievability - increase in an aggregate number of military men in some thousand persons annually. It was supposed, that owing to this it will be possible to accelerate rates of units rotation, which are being in "hot points".

Since October, 1 – the date of the next draft campaign start - only 7392 persons have submitted applications on the entry into the army. For the similar period of the last year this figure has made 12062 persons that, according to the general, however, is not enough too.

Military experts converge in opinion that a principal cause of unwillingness of Americans to enter the armed forces is the continuation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, from which news about soldiers’ death, capture or wound almost daily come.
