The book "Notes of a young weather forecaster" is dedicated to the cadet years and the period of formation of a young meteorological officer. The events told in it take place in the era of the heyday of the Soviet state, when it was unthinkable even to imagine a tragedy that would destroy the country and its army after just a few years.The author managed to reliably convey the everyday life of cadets and lieutenants, thoughts and moods of young people of that time and the already almost forgotten flavor of the "eighties". humor and self-irony, the narration does not allow the reader to get bored.The book is based on diary entries and memoirs of the head of the Hydrometeorological Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2009-2012), Honored Meteorologist of the Russian Federation, Honorary Polar Explorer, Candidate of Technical Sci., member of the Union of Writers of Russia, laureate of international and all-Russian literary competitions, retired colonel Sergei Alexandrovich Molodnyakov.The book will undoubtedly be of interest to those who are interested in the history of Soviet military hydrometeorology and the true history of the life of Soviet people, on the eve of events of the 90s of the 20th century.
