Soldiers crawl forward in the mud as icy water is poured onto their bodies from a fire truck. They then jump into a pool and are prevented from getting out by a man in a black mask who kicks their faces or shoulders. Explosions constantly ring out nearby.


Welcome to a "light" training exercise with the People's Liberation Army's special forces.


"We do a lot harsher things to train our soldiers, in scorching hot and freezing cold conditions," Assistant Commander Wu Haiyan said.


"We have them walk 50 kilometers over mountains and through jungles, each carrying 35 kilograms of equipment, once a month. It takes all day and there are no rest breaks."


Wu regaled journalists with tales of his unit's tough regimen during a rare glimpse into the world of China's elite fighting force at a base in Jining, Shandong province.


Soldiers must be trained to endure hikes totaling 4 Justin Tucker Ravens Jersey ,000 km over a period of seven months with full combat packs. Some soldiers had such bad rope burns on their hands that they had to cut their calluses with razor blades — all just part of preparations for a national contest.


Special training sessions can be called at any time, said Tang Changchun, head of the unit's scout team.


Once, soldiers were asked to lie on their stomachs in the middle of the night and asked one after another to stand up and put their hands into a box full of chickens, snakes or mudfish, he said, recalling Terrell Suggs Ravens Jersey , "You can hear the screams behind you, but we don't know why until we are put in the same situation."


Besides general training, soldiers can also specialize. Cui Erwei, for example, took part in the nine-month training to become a sniper after joining the Jining regiment in 2009.


For the first five months, he said, he spent 12 hours a day Marshal Yanda Ravens Jersey , from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, on a shooting range, lying on his stomach and looking into the sight of his rifle.


"I could stand up once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but not to rest; I had to do physical exercise, running up and down a hill or running over obstacles, and then lie down again soon after I finished," Cui said.


After once staying in the same position for almost four hours C.J. Mosley Ravens Jersey , he recalled, "I couldn't get up. It felt like my bones were stuck together. I had to move my fingers and toes first and stand up slowly."


Still, this is not the worst situation he has been in.


Sometimes he is ordered to use his left hand to hold his rifle in a specific position, an exercise to improve his reaction time.


"My left hand was cramped," he said. "I had to use my right to force it open."


In the evening, Cui has various exercises to make his fingers more flexible and instill patience, including drilling holes in a grain of rice Joe Flacco Ravens Jersey , move glass balls with chopsticks and concentrating on a dot made by a ballpoint pen 4 to 5 meters away on a wall.


He said he can drill as much as six holes in a grain of rice after five months of practice, although he could not do one in the beginning.


This is, however, only the beginning. Three months' training to improve shooting skills and more than 40 days' tactical training followed.


To help them better grip their sniper rifles, some soldiers were asked to grab a baby chicken in their hands without hurting it or letting it escape.


Once or twice a week, they have to run 3 to 5 km and then drop to the ground and shoot immediately. Sometimes, they had to creep forward under cover as slowly as possible so that "enemies" could not see them.


Cui said he once moved no more than 80 meters in two and a half hours.


The shooting exercise was often done with soldiers from other units diverting their attention. Worms were sometimes thrown at them.


Entertainment for the soldiers is limited and they can only enjoy a movie on Tuesday evenings.


The soldiers Lamar Jackson Ravens Jersey , however, derive a lot of satisfaction from frequent contests, from which they can monitor their progress in training.


These contests may be held at any time in each company, said Wei Faxiang, a college graduate who joined the regiment in 2007.


Soldiers will also participate in contests every three months in the regiment and contests are held usually once a year in Jinan Military Region, the regiment's home, Wei added.


Soldiers have a very strong sense of honor Trace McSorley Ravens Jersey , Wei said.


Officers at the regiment are not spared and have to prove their worth as much as the men under their command.


All officers of the regiment can handle at least 10 weapons.


"There are special force soldiers but no special officers who can be excluded from training and contests," said Lyu Bixiang, head of the unmanned aerial vehicles team.


"It's peacetime, but nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Once a war happens, all of us, both soldiers and officers, should be ready and be brave to walk to the front line Iman Marshall Ravens Jersey ," Lyu said.

Tony Blair and Andrew Adonis, his former Downing Street policy chief, have made separate if coordinated proposals for new controls on UK migration as a viable route back from Brexit and for the UK’s continued membership of the EU single market.


To some, the proposals appear like a pro-remain version of Boris Johnson’s love of having and eating cakes – another British offer to remain in the single market so long as Britain can destroy it. To others, it is an attempt to inject some political and strategic realism into the remain position.


The ideas lean heavily on the presumption that there is an untapped mood in France and Germany to help the British pro-Europeans. The Blair pamphlet makes references to a smattering of largely middle-ranking former ministers and a thinktank to suggest there is a mood for reform.


Lord Adonis suggests that. Cheap Sports Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Vapormax Off White Cheap Nike Air Max Cheap Air Max 90 Mens Cheap Nike Air Max Cheap Air Max 90 Ultra Cheap Air Vapormax White Cheap Air Vapormax Cheap Air Vapormax Kids
