An excerpt characterizing the Officer's line

– But it’s me?!.. – looking at the “other self” with wide eyes, the shocked little girl whispered. – After all, it’s really me… How is it?..
So far, I could not answer her, such a seemingly simple question, since I myself stood completely taken aback, not finding any explanation for this “absurd” phenomenon ...
Stella quietly extended her hand to her twin and touched the same small fingers extended to her. I wanted to shout that it could be dangerous, but when I saw her satisfied smile, I kept silent, deciding to see what would happen next, but at the same time I was on my guard, in case something suddenly went wrong.
- So it's me ... - the little girl whispered in delight. - Oh, how wonderful! This is really me...
Her thin fingers began to glow brightly, and the "second" Stella began to slowly melt, smoothly flowing through the same fingers into the "real" Stella, who was standing near me. Her body began to thicken, but not in the same way as the physical body would, but as if it became much denser to glow, filled with some kind of unearthly radiance.
Suddenly, I felt someone's presence behind me - it was again our friend, Atenais.
“Forgive me, bright child, but you will not come for your “imprint” very soon ... You still have to wait a very long time,” she looked into my eyes more attentively. Or maybe you won't come at all...
- How is it “I won’t come”?! .. - I was frightened. - If everyone comes, then I will come too!
- I do not know. For some reason your fate is closed to me. I can't answer you, sorry...
I was very upset, but, trying my best not to show this Atenays, I asked as calmly as possible:
What is this “imprint”?
“Oh, everyone, when they die, comes back for him. When your soul ends its “languishing” in another earthly body, at the moment when it says goodbye to it, it flies to its real Home, and, as it were, “announces” its return ... And then, it leaves this “ seal". But after that, she must again return back to the dense earth, in order to say goodbye forever to who she was ... and a year later, having said “last goodbye”, leave from there ... And then, this free soul comes here to merge with his left part and find peace, waiting for a new journey to the "old world"...
I did not understand then what Atenais was talking about, it just sounded very beautiful ...
And only now, after many, many years (having long ago absorbed the knowledge of my amazing husband, Nikolai, with my “hungry” soul), looking through my funny past for this book today, I remembered Atenais with a smile, and, of course, I realized that , what she called the “imprint”, was simply an energy surge that happens to each of us at the moment of our death, and reaches exactly the level that the deceased person managed to reach with his development. And what Atenais then called “farewell” to “who she was” was nothing more than the final separation of all existing “bodies” of the essence from her dead physical body, so that she could now finally leave, and there , on its "floor", to merge with its missing particle, the level of development of which, for one reason or another, it did not have time to "reach" while living on earth. And this departure took place exactly one year later.
But I understand all this now, but then it was still very far away, and I had to be content with my own, still childish, understanding of everything that was happening to me, and my own, sometimes erroneous, and sometimes correct, guesses ...
– Do entities on other “floors” also have the same “imprints”? – inquisitive Stella asked with interest.
– Yes, of course they do, only they are different, – Atenais answered calmly. - And not on all "floors" they are as pleasant as here ... Especially on one ...
- Oh, I know! This is probably the "lower"! Oh, you should definitely go and see it! It's so interesting! Stella was already chirping pretty again.
It was simply amazing how quickly and easily she forgot everything that just a minute ago frightened or surprised her, and already again cheerfully tried to learn something new and unknown to her.
- Farewell, young maidens ... It's time for me to leave. May your happiness be eternal... – Atenais said in a solemn voice.
And again she smoothly waved her “winged” hand, as if showing us the way, and the already familiar path, shining with gold, immediately ran in front of us ...
And the marvelous bird woman again quietly sailed in her airy fairy-tale boat, again ready to meet and guide new travelers “searching for themselves”, patiently serving some special, incomprehensible to us, vow ...
- Well? Where are we going, “young maiden”?.. – I asked my little girlfriend smiling.
Why did she call us that? Stella asked thoughtfully. “Do you think that’s what they said where she once lived?”

Arriving after graduating from the Academy in the sunny city of Arkhangelsk, work began on preparing for flights, which consisted, first of all, in the desire to fly, solid theoretical knowledge, prepared flight maps and black socks, as a bright future showed.
I already wrote about the role of black socks, and if you haven’t read it, then read it.
The desire to fly became obsessive. The matter remained only with the prepared flight maps. In addition to the route with airfields, it was necessary to designate restricted areas, radio navigation aids, elevation and much more. The officer line helped a lot in this. The officer's ruler had stencils, and the preparation of cards was not too tedious. However, officer's rulers were not included in the mandatory navigational equipment, but were sometimes sold in military auctions, and were not only officer's rulers, but also in short supply.
I had such a valuable officer line. In addition, I was talented enough in drawing, so my flight maps could compete with works of art. In general, flight maps were prepared and began to fly. Flights, by the way, were not in short supply.
Somehow it was necessary to show flight maps to the chief navigator with a new top-secret zone marked. We were in reserve, and I decided to draw that top-secret area on the flight map. I was about to go to paint, when I discovered that I had lost the officer's ruler. You don't have to talk about it. how upset I was. My mood was corrected by the An-24 commander with whom we flew. He said:
-Hold, Lech, the ruler. You have a bubble!
I gratefully took the ruler, on which the commander's name was scrawled, and put it in a safe place, and we safely drank the bottle I bought after the flights.
I have already retrained on the Tu-134, managed to get married and buy an apartment, and my wife gave birth to a child, and the child grew up to sledding. With the whole family, we went for a walk and, passing by the military trade, we decided to go there.
It was the end of the month, the military trade, fulfilling the plan, “threw out” the deficit in the form of officer lines of which I bought about ten.
The next day I went into the navigation room and presented a ruler to everyone sitting there. The same An-24 commander with whom I flew was sitting there, and who helped me out with an officer's line for a bubble.
“And me,” he asked.
I gave him the same ruler that I once received from him for the bubble.
Another important navigational attribute was the NL-10 navigation bar. The navigational slide rule is a very handy thing for calculations, scratching the spine and other equally useful things. These rulers were given to us, but I had a clear respect for the ruler, so it was enough for me for a period of 2 and even 3 times more than it was supposed to. So I saved the rulers and was very pleased that the country was getting richer. The country is rapidly getting richer, and I am getting richer with the country.
I moved to my homeland, to Leningrad, St. Petersburg.
There I was given a new navigation bar and I flew again. Then I met an American (When Bolivar can't stand two)
That American woman had a cousin who flew a Lear-Jet. All foreigners were obsessed with our wooden abacus. So I decided that NL-10.
just delight that cousin! And so it happened, but that's another story.
In general, the NL-10 navigation line flew with me for 5 years in the North and another 2-3 years in St. Petersburg and collapsed. I also had a spare NL-10, and used it. Maybe he showed something to someone, maybe he brought up someone, maybe something else, only there was no ruler in the navigational portfolio! And that's why I was very upset about it. We had to fly first to Arkhangelsk, and then to Naryan-Mar, but there was no line. No, these are the tracks of my childhood in Aviation, but there is no NL-10! I flew there without navigation devices, but there is no navigation bar! It's like on a steamboat you suddenly discover that there is no lifeline!
I flew with a very heavy heart and without a spark of any inspiration.
We sat down in Arkhangelsk, where everyone remembers and loves me. I'm to the chief navigator, they say there is no ruler. But Leonid Alexandrovich would be glad to give, but there is nothing.
We flew to Naryan-Mar. There is no mood at all. (What the country has been brought to. There are not even navigation rulers!)
I come to the navigation room, and there on the table NL-10 is almost new, but with the name of the happy owner. I almost fell on my knees just to get the ruler back. And that navigator on duty told me, they say, if only to exchange for an officer. I almost jumped for joy! I have had those rulers since those Northern times, and after 5 minutes they were already with that navigator on duty, and I had the NL-10!
Then we landed at Pulkovo. My ruler was soon found, and a couple of days later all our pilots began to bring me navigation rulers. They brought it to the whole squadron! When they wrote me off in 2004, I gave all the lines to the young guys, and kept two for myself. The one with which he flew before the “loss”, and the one from Naryan-Mar.

This subject is familiar to most guys who grew up in the 90s. Classmates glanced at the happy owner of a transparent strip with many holes in the form of various geometric figures with envy. These days, this item is more of a rarity.

The officer's ruler is rather a kind of stencil with which special signs can be applied to paper. For ease of use, it is usually made of some kind of transparent material. The USSR officer ruler was made of transparent celluloid. The material was not completely transparent, but had a yellow-gray color. In modern Russian army an officer's ruler is used, cast from solid transparent plastic.

It is used for orientation, according to a topographic map, on the ground, determining coordinates, with its help it is possible to draw fonts, figures, numbers, measure angles. In fact, it is a universal tool and a complete set of drawing devices in one tool. Intended for:

measurements, including on topographic maps and plans;
drawing on working documents (topographic map) conventional signs, such as:
own and enemy formations.
their intended tasks
their actions, planned and actual
placement of various weapons, equipment and means
use of various weapons and equipment

In section Science, Technology, Languages to the question of how to use the officer's ruler? given by the author Dmitry sov.secret The best answer is Means so. The officer's ruler primarily serves to simplify the officer's work with the map. Digits - numbers of divisions are designated. A parachute-shaped badge - a landing site. Diamonds - tanks, a rectangle with a sharp side - infantry fighting vehicles, a rectangle in the form of a car - a supply vehicle or other wheeled vehicle. Triangles, flags and rectangles are divisions. Ovals and roundness - units and attack areas, etc.

Answer from Kofka[guru]
a protractor to measure angles and cutouts to quickly draw figures!
ashamed not to know!

Answer from Udav[guru]
A protractor in order to measure the azimuth along which your battalion will attack, cutouts - to indicate various points on the map

for everything

Answer from 2 answers[guru]

Many people like to draw using stencils. A rich choice allows you to find a stencil according to the interests of the child: geometric figures, letters and numbers, silhouettes of animals, birds, marine life, fruits, leaves of trees, household items - you can’t count everything.

There are also many techniques for working with stencils:

1) simple outline with a pencil, ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen;

2) painting the silhouette;

3) blotting with a sponge, an elastic band dipped in paint;

4) applying glue, and on top of it - colored sand, flour, salt and other bulk materials.

But there is another stencil that can be called a universal tool for practicing with children. This officer line, which many parents 30+ remember from their school childhood. The officer line has several modifications (actual officer, naval, cadet, commander, etc.), but the first two will be interesting and useful to the child.

Games and graphic exercises with an officer's ruler

• The study of geometric shapes.
• Comparison of figures: development and perception of magnitude.
• Inventing a pattern using the contours of the stencil.
• Writing numbers.
• Turning a figure into an object.
• Coloring, tracing in various ways.

For the first time, it is worth offering the child a ruler, an album, pens, thin felt-tip pens, a hard-soft simple pencil - let him experiment. Very quickly, the kid himself will figure out all the nuances and even learn to hold the ruler so that the contours do not smear when drawing.

Exercises with the officer's ruler and other stencils contribute to the development of the imagination and are useful for graphomotor skills. If there is a choice, it is better to give preference to a thinner and more flexible ruler than a thick one.
