Dressing in 45 seconds & army food test – In the Army Now Ep.02
Pavel is woken up by a surprise drill. This is his chance to find out if it’s really true that soldiers are supposed to put on their uniforms in just 45 seconds. Meanwhile, Anna is in no hurry. She’s hiding out with her squad in the woods, where she patiently waits for Pavel to appear so she can ambush him.

Afterwards, the two get to test out another myth: that army food is tasteless and barely edible. Anna joins the kitchen staff to see what ingredients they use, while Pavel learns about how food is distributed and what’s needed to sign up to the canteen.

See how she gets on.
