The Kostanay Construction College is doing a lot of work on the patriotic education of the younger generation. A military-patriotic club “Typhoon” has been organized here, headed by a truly enthusiastic person, retired senior lieutenant Alexander Ivanovich Kozlov. The principle of the club is voluntary participation. Students wishing to become members of the club study the basics of initial military training, the combat traditions of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the heroic pages of the history of Kazakhstan, training in military “disciplines” is similar: drill training, fire training (shooting from pneumatic weapons), disassembling an assault rifle, tourist training and much more. The work of the club is built on the basis of military etiquette, discipline and subordination. Candidates pass exams, they are tough selection and the most worthy go to their first field trip. During the campaign, the skills of providing first aid to a comrade, “carrying the victim”, “dressing the wounded”, working with a map, making a fire with one match are practiced. One of the main stages of pre-conscription training is parachute training for children. “Taifunovtsy” are trained at the Kurgan Aviation Club and make a parachute jump from a height of 800 meters. In addition, each student has the opportunity to scuba dive both in the pool and in the Tobol River. All this is the goal of forming a firm civic position, patriotism, readiness for worthy service to the Fatherland and its protection, a high level of moral and psychological state in the status of a conscript contingent, its strong discipline and solidarity, ensuring constant readiness to perform assigned tasks in military service. The club has become a visiting card of the college in terms of patriotic trends among young people. Club members are participants in all patriotic events not only in the city, region and republic, as well as international events.
They actively interact with the republican military-patriotic movement “Zhas Sarbaz”, the Russian military-patriotic movement “Vympel”, they are members of the “Federation of military-sports clubs” of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
