Service in the Armed Forces is an important stage in the life of any young man. According to established tradition, before being sent, the conscript is given a ceremonial farewell to the army, otherwise dumped. Relatives and friends gather around a set table to encourage the young man to perform his service with dignity.
Since the feast cannot be called festive, the important point is to create a good mood and a warm, friendly atmosphere. We need to set the tone for the future soldier and leave him with pleasant memories of the dump.
Parting words on seeing off to the army
- Military service is a kind of test of willpower and patience. We believe that you will cope with this test. Serve so that your family is proud of you, conscientiously carry out the instructions of your superiors, treat your colleagues kindly. Stay true to your personal beliefs, be happy. We wish you good luck in your service!
- The army turns guys into real men. On this day, as I see you off into the ranks of the soldiers, I want to wish you a positive mood and endurance. Serve in such a way that later you will not be ashamed to look your comrades in the eyes. Listen to every word of your superiors, learn to defend your opinion, serve conscientiously. Good luck!
- The army is a new page in your life. Quite serious, harsh, where you have to solve your problems yourself. I wish you to go through all levels of service with dignity and return as a serious, reasonable and strong man. Don’t break under circumstances, don’t get depressed. Hold the machine tightly and serve calmly. We are waiting in civilian life!
Wishes for a new recruit from friends
First of all, you should know what conscripts should not wish for. First of all, return home as soon as possible. The army is not a prison, and there is no amnesty there. If a soldier is returned home ahead of schedule, this means a commission - transfer to the reserve for health reasons on the basis of a military medical commission.
Secondly, it would be wrong to wish the recruit “good commanders.” A commander cannot be kind a priori. It may be fair or unfair. Friends can memorize wishes in advance or simply tell in their own words how much they will miss a reliable friend and a world-class guy.
If a young man has an older brother who served in the Armed Forces, he can briefly share his memories. Give your brother valuable advice on how to behave with fellow employees. For your younger brother, you can prepare a short speech about how he will look up to the conscript, and when he grows up, he will also serve in the army.
Examples of wishes in prose from friends of a conscript:
- Buddy! Today I am a little sad that you are leaving us for a whole year. But I am proud that my friend is a real man who did not look for reasons and reasons, did not “mow”, but honestly goes to fulfill his military duty. May you have the same loyal and reliable friends in the army as in civilian life. Serve with dignity, and in a year we will greet you even more solemnly than we see you off today.
- Friend! When leaving to serve, remember that in civilian life you have friends who will always support you. You are a wonderful guy and I value our friendship very much. I want to wish you good luck. Let him be lucky with his commanders and colleagues, then the year of service will fly by unnoticed.
- Brother! Military service is a test worthy of a real man. In a year you will gain experience, become stronger, bolder and more serious. I wish you to earn authority among your colleagues and commanders, so that your parents can be proud of their son. And we will all be waiting for you and exactly one year later we will gather at the festive table to congratulate you on your demobilization.
The godmother usually focuses on health. She wishes her godson not to get sick and to protect himself from injuries. He promises to support his parents while the young man serves in the army.
Poems to a conscript from his beloved girl
Words to my son on his farewell to the army
- Son, beloved. You became an adult, we didn’t even have time to look back. And so you were drafted into the army to serve our state. We wish that this service will not only be for the benefit of the country, but also for the benefit of you. I hope you return as a real man: brave, courageous, capable of defending yourself and the people you love. I wish you to return healthy and alive, may the angel protect you.
- You became a soldier and it is a great honor for me. You will be away from me from this day forward, but I want to tell you that everything will be fine. I will always be with you mentally, every second. I wish you successful service, good health and good colleagues.
- Son, it is with great reluctance that I let you go far from me. But such is the fate of mothers - to accompany their sons to the army. Be strong in both body and spirit. After the service, I want to meet you as cheerful, confident and full of love for me. May the Lord protect you!

Mother's words on seeing off her son to the army
- You are already a real man - brave and decisive, since you dared to join the army. When people are away from home for a whole year, a person is wished for positive changes. I wouldn't want to change anything. I hope when you return we will be as proud of you as ever and you will remain the same kind and optimistic guy.
- I see you off to the army and hope that this year will fly by very quickly. I will see you again on the threshold of the house, refreshed, matured and so dear. I wish to serve without straining too much and conscientiously repay my debt to the country. Health, luck, vigilance and good luck.
- Son, today I am accompanying you to the army, and it is a toughening for any man. Let the service only benefit you, releasing only positive qualities. Let her help you overcome your fears, become decisive and independent. I will wait for you, support you and pray for your health.
Words from a girl at the farewell to the army
- Everyone expects their guys to return from the army as real men. You are already a real man, so I wish you to broaden your horizons and gain useful experience. Maintain your status as a positive and wonderful guy in the army!
- My dear! I will miss and remember the time we spent together every day. I’m incredibly proud of you for making the right choice – to go into the service. I promise to look forward to it, not to forget and to organize a celebration in honor of your return!
- You leave to protect your loved ones and family. I love you and respect you for your decision. I wish you good luck, success in your service and promise to wait for you.
Organization of a feast
To ensure that the feast does not consist of nothing but toasts and conversations, it is necessary to draw up a script in advance. You can entrust the organization of the gala evening to the conscript’s friends. In this case, it is desirable that leadership be taken over by an adult man with experience in military service.
It is considered a good sign to carry out the dump “on the ground”. Since conscription into the Armed Forces takes place in the spring and autumn, it is better to prepare a feast in the fresh air, for example, in the country. An alternative would be to organize a barbecue picnic.
It is not customary to hire a toastmaster from outside for an event dedicated to congratulations to the army. The host of the feast is usually one of the relatives. His task is to properly organize the guests accompanying the young man to the service, so that there is no chaos at the table.
To create a cheerful atmosphere, serious toasts and speeches should alternate with humorous poems. You can prepare in advance and distribute to guests cards or postcards with funny congratulations dedicated to the young man’s transition to a new status as a soldier, or these can be posters that guests of the celebration will read in chorus.
The performance of military songs is considered a mandatory attribute of the program. Musical accompaniment can be a guitar or button accordion. If there are none, you can sing karaoke or acapella (without music).
Don't forget about fun competitions. These could be comic sports competitions between a recruit and his friends. For older guests (parents and their friends), you can organize table games to test your knowledge of army terminology.
As decoration, balloons with military symbols or wishes for successful service are often ordered.
Beautiful words for seeing off to the army
- Let your service go like clockwork, time flies by unnoticed, and the climbs be easy. I wish you to be waited at home and loved even from a distance. Let the army strengthen your will and give you irreplaceable experience!
- As I see you off to the army, I wish you a lot of strength, perseverance and endurance. Let your colleagues be reliable people, your service will be easy, and your leisure time will be enjoyable. Strengthen your character, gain experience, never give up! Good teachers and interesting events!
- We are accompanying you to the army today and believe that you will be able to prove to everyone how brave, courageous and honest you are. Let the army be your new page of victories, new achievements, and let your service be successful. Good health to you, fighter, and faith in your strength!
Quatrains from guests
Short wishes in verse that can be used to write on cards:
Guard the border strictly, behave with dignity. Serve your Motherland honestly, so that we can sleep peacefully.
We would like to wish you patience, to always be a man in everything. We will be waiting for you, writing, missing you, loving you.
Serve with dignity, our fighter! Carry out commands skillfully. Be strong, healthy, well done, Walk through life boldly.
Be a faithful comrade, serve honestly, value your soldier's friendship. We wish you to find true friends, so that your service will be more fun.
Don’t let yourself be offended, And help your colleagues, Follow orders strictly, Don’t forget to write home.
Protecting the borders of the Fatherland is an honorable duty. Serve bravely and valiantly. And it will be a test year.
I wish you easy service, help your colleagues. I wish you strong friendship, Never lose heart.
We wish demobilization to come as soon as possible. Try not to miss home too much. And we promise in a year, believe us, we will meet you with the same composition.
A good idea would be to compose army-themed ditties yourself and fulfill them on the dump.
A toast to a friend's farewell to the army
- My friend, in fairy tales a soldier knows how to get out of any situation: he can cook porridge from an ax, he can find flint and he can marry a princess. Let's drink, new recruit, to the fact that it will be served like in a fairy tale: the porridge will always be aromatic, even if it was cooked from an axe, in your pocket, although not a flint, but something magical, and at home the most beautiful princess will be waiting for you.
- A beautiful pearl lay at the bottom of the sea. Many young men rushed into the water after her, swam deep and drowned from lack of oxygen. One day a guy with scuba diving dived after her and pulled out a dazzling pearl. We drink to the fact that ingenuity and ingenuity will help you in your service.
- Today we are sending off a green boy to the army. You will have the opportunity to change your old plumage and turn into a courageous eagle. Serve conscientiously so that we can celebrate your return with dignity. Here's to a new soldier!
A toast to my brother
- Brother, we will remember this day with you forever. While you are looking for a new you, do not lose your real self. Let's drink so that the service goes quickly, so that good luck accompanies you, and that you return as a real hero. For you, brother!
- I will see you off and will not cry like a mother, because I believe that I will not meet a boy, but a warrior and a hero. It may be difficult for you away from home, but you will gain new friends and new skills. To ensure that you don’t feel sad and lonely at work!
- My brother didn’t “slap”, which means he is already a brave man. I am glad that you were not afraid of trials, I wish you wisdom and strength. For the new defender of the country!
Cool short toasts for seeing off to the army
- Our conscript will soon find out what the essence of a man’s main purpose is. Let's drink to the fact that the footcloths don't pinch, and that the uniform fits to size!
- A girl only needs one night to turn into a woman. It takes a guy a year to become a man. I want to raise a glass to twelve months passing as quickly as one night.
- Today you are seeing off your youth. You have to get to know the taste of army life, learn to get up early, get dressed while the match is burning. When you join the ranks of the army, you can be sure that the whole world will be afraid of us!
Songs adapted for seeing off to the army
Congratulations on seeing off your son's military service
- Son, my brave hero, I believe in you! From today I will wait for the return of a true hero and brave man. Don't make a mistake, believe in yourself and show everyone what you can do. I wish you fidelity in friendship, success in service, optimism in your soul, and prospects on the horizon.
- Well, son, it's time to show everyone what you can do. Show your ingenuity and character in the army. I wish you victories and success, may your service be smooth and glorious, and may every day be marked by the praise of your commander and personal achievements.
- Son, I believe that you will not let us down and will show only positive qualities in your service. May they entrust you not only with a machine gun, but also with the peaceful sleep of our country. I'm proud that you are now a soldier. Don't worry and serve well!
Who gives parting words to the future soldier
It is customary to invite relatives and people close to the family to the dump. During the feast, each of them must be given the floor for a parting speech. The official ceremony should be opened by the oldest man who served in the Armed Forces.
Menu in the army
Parents deserve special mention. Father and mother are given the floor not only to give parting words to their son, but also to give their parental blessing for military service. Particular attention must be paid to the older generation. Parting words from grandparents have their own characteristics.
Close relatives (aunts, uncles) can be instructed to prepare a humorous parting message for your nephew, which will contain catchphrases of famous commanders, army sayings and proverbs.
If the conscript has a girlfriend, you need to give her the floor separately. The speech must be prepared in advance. It is advisable that the wish be in verse. This will make it easier for the girl to express her feelings. The poems must contain a promise to wait for the guy from the army.
