Which troops are the best. Is it possible to get where you want to serve

01.10.2019

The service is already coming to an end, and the blog has existed for more than six months. During this time, in the comments under the posts on the site, in the discussions in the Vkontakte blog group and just in the messages in PM, I read a lot of questions. Here I have collected the most common of them. A summary of the most frequently asked questions about the army and army life right in front of you.

How many are in the military now?

I did not expect that this question would become perhaps the most frequently asked among all those who addressed me. Surprisingly, not all people are still used to the fact that after the reform of 2008 military service is 1 year, not two, as before.

By the way, there is interesting feature leap years. Once every 4 years, the service life is not 365 days, but 366. I became one of those "lucky ones" who have to experience this feature in "their own skin."

What are the terms of conscription into the army?

Let's start with the fact that conscription into the army is carried out 2 times a year. One begins in the spring, which is why it is called "spring", and the other - in the fall, the so-called autumn call to Army.

Every year, the terms of both one and the other appeals are established by decree of the President of the Russian Federation. In 2016, the dates remained unchanged: the spring conscription runs from April 1 to July 15, and the autumn one - from October 1 to December 31.

It is easy to guess that the spring conscription is now actively going on, so I advise each of you, dear readers, familiarize yourself with its features in my separate article.

Why did I join the army?

Of course, each of the guys of draft age at some point faces a choice: to go or hang? I made my choice, which I have never regretted.

Why did you go? I see no reason to duplicate the content of the article. After all, everything is clearly and clearly painted. So let's move on.

Which army is better to serve in?

To absolutely everyone who asked me this or a similar question, I answered the following: there are no good/bad troops, there are good/bad military units.

Before answering the question of the military commissar: “Son, what troops do you want to serve in?” be sure to read my article. There you will find the answer to this question for yourself, first of all. This article can be your lifesaver, as it has already been for many guys.

They take me to the army: what should I do?

Oh, how often I have been asked this question! Some are clearly in a panic, while others are just with common sense.

One way or another, I was forced to write a separate article in order to pack all my six months (at that time) experience of service and preparation for it.

What to take with you to the army?

This question, often, arose exactly after the previous one. And I think it's absolutely logical! But here's a surprise for you, dear readers.

The answer to this question is in the article, the link to which I gave above: 10 tips for a conscript from a soldier. At the end of the article there is a bonus, which is precisely the answer to the question posed.

Here is just an excerpt from that article in the form of a few paragraphs:

To add an understanding of what you definitely need to take with you, the article will help. It contains a list of those things that the state gives to each conscript for free. Not everything gives out, of course ... He borrows some things! ;-)

Is a phone allowed in the army and which phone is better to take with you?

I will answer both at once, since they met approximately the same number of times.

Yes, allowed but mostly only on weekends free time, which in the first weeks of service may not be at all.
My advice: take slippers (the simplest, push-button phone). And when you start serving and sniff out all the nuances and features of your military unit, you will understand whether you need a smartphone.

Is it worth going to study at the military department?

My opinion has long been formed and is as follows. If you want to serve under a contract and immediately, from the very first days, receive a good, stable salary, go first to study at the military department. What's the catch? Yes, in that after studying for only 2.5 years with a one-day visit to the department PER WEEK You will receive a military ID and the rank of lieutenant in the reserve.

And the rank of lieutenant in the army is far from the very first in the career ladder of a soldier. And this article will help me prove it. Read it now and pay attention to how many “steps” you can jump at once in the ladder of the ranks of the Russian army.

In short, I will give a simple and 100% efficient and universal algorithm actions to all-all-all the guys who are now reading this article and have not yet served.

If you want to understand whether you need to connect your life with the army and army life, go to serve a term right after school. In a year you can get the rank of sergeant, and most importantly, answer the question for yourself: do you want to devote your whole life (or at least part of it) to military affairs?
If so, then after the deadline, do not rush to sign a contract, but go to study at a university with a military department. The idea is that studying at the university will take you 4 years, and classes for military department- 1 day a week for 2.5 years.
Higher military education educational institution for an officer (the same lieutenant) takes 5 years. That is, from studying at the military department you have 2 pluses: this is both a saved year and an additional higher education, in whose specialty you can go to study if you eventually become disillusioned with the army.

Summarize. I advise you to go to study at the military department for those who want to either avoid the deadline, or try themselves in military affairs, and even immediately as a commander.

There is nothing for the rest to do. It's my opinion. If you have a different one - I'm waiting in the comments!

P.S. Friends! it new format articles for me, as it is the most interactive. What is its interactivity? - It's simple. Each of you can influence its content. To do this, you just need leave your comment with a question, one way or another related to the army and army life.

If your question turns out to be relevant for other readers, the answer to it will definitely appear in this article, and you will be personally notified about it.

The statement " elite troops Many have heard Russia, but not everyone has an idea what this expression actually means.

Each future conscript, before joining the army, asks himself two questions, where is it better to serve in the army and how to get into the right unit. To answer this question, you need to understand what goal you want to achieve by going to serve in the army. It is worth deciding on the presence of some specific skills and acquired knowledge in civilian life.

Passing the draft board, each conscript will be asked where the conscript would like to serve. The draft office will make a note about the preferences of the conscript, where it is better to send him, taking into account his medical characteristics and abilities.

True, often this mark does not play a special role. The distribution at the recruiting station takes place according to the needs of the "buyers" who came for the young replenishment. However, in some cases, the wishes of the conscript are taken into account, and the region in which the conscript lives is also taken into account. In some cases, he may be left to serve near the house, if there are certain reasons for that. Then, the conscript should take care of this issue in advance and choose for service those troops that are in his home region.

Types of troops

What are the troops and what skills do you need to have in order to get into these troops. All troops can be divided into three types: land, fleet, aviation. It is impossible to single out any type of troops in the category of elite. Each type of troops performs certain tasks and has its own goals. Therefore, it is better to worry in advance and decide where it is better to go to serve in the army.

Land

Tank forces. Are the main offensive force ground forces. The tasks of defense and offensive in battle are carried out. For these troops, recruits are selected no more than 174 centimeters tall, preferably of a strong physique, with no significant visual problems.

Motorized rifle. They have versatility and the ability to perform any combat missions in any weather and in any terrain. There is no special selection for these troops. The health category goes from A1 to B4. The troops include many units, so everyone will be assigned to the service.
Railway troops. Participation in hostilities conducted with the participation of trains, as well as the elimination of the consequences natural Disasters on the railway tracks. A conscript who does not have much good health, has every chance of being in this type of troops.
Special Forces. Performance special tasks that no one can military unit. Recruitment to this unit is conducted from candidates who have already served military service. The strictest selection and testing is carried out.

Air

Airborne troops. Conducting special operations on enemy territory. Organization of sabotage activities and disruption of control and communications, as well as the capture of enemy facilities. A candidate for these troops must meet very high requirements. Health category not lower than A1, physical endurance and psychological stability.

Aerospace Forces (VKS, Strategic Missile Forces, Air Defense). Protection and control of the aerospace of the Russian Federation and the repulsion of enemy attacks from the air. Conscripts of technical and engineering specialties are more likely to get into these units. When selecting, the emphasis is on the psychological qualities and mental abilities of the conscript.

Marine

Navy. Fulfillment of combat missions on sea and ocean waters, repelling enemy attacks on the water and conducting offensive operations from the sea. Includes surface, submarine troops, as well as naval aviation and marines. In order to be called up for military service in the Navy, you must have a height of at least 180 centimeters, a health category of at least A3 and good mental stability.

Where to go

If one or another branch of the armed forces is considered prestigious, then this issue is very controversial. Every army has its elite units such as intelligence and special forces. It is honorable and prestigious to serve in such units, but you will also have to work decently. not an easy task. For service in these units, some recruits initially need to be in good physical shape and mental stability. In such a platoon, it is more likely to learn useful skills, such as hand-to-hand combat, possession of weapons and other types of special skills.

But at the same time, as practice shows, the selection of recruits takes place without the knowledge of the conscript. At the recruiting station, "buyers" usually say that the best troops are exactly where they came from, their task is to take the best with them. If a recruit goes to the recruiting station with certain knowledge, then there will be fewer problems with him in the combat unit. But after the oath is taken, a second distribution is carried out. At this point, in most cases, attention is paid to what virtues a young soldier has. In accordance with his skills, there is a division into divisions of the unit.

In order to get into good troops, before going to serve in the army, you must take the following steps:

Raise physical exercise. Good physical shape is appreciated everywhere.
To raise organization and independence, you need to learn self-discipline.
Get a profession. In the army, soldiers with any skills are in demand.

Pre-conscription training

It is worth mentioning the pre-conscription training of a conscript, because it is advisable to think in advance about where to go to serve. If there is great desire go serve as a driver or in airborne brigade, it would be nice to take care of this in advance. In Russia, in every major city there are DOSAAF branches that are engaged in pre-conscription training. Through this training system, you can not only get rights, but also increase the chances of serving at the wheel of any military equipment.

In order to significantly increase the probability, you need to take care of getting skydiving skills. Now this is pretty easy to do. You need to contact the nearest parachute club and pay a certain amount to make a few jumps. At the distribution point, this fact will go into the conscript's personal file. This, of course, does not guarantee that they will be taken to serve in these troops, but the chances will increase.

Whatever troops a soldier finds himself in, it must be remembered that the task of serving in the army is to gain the experience and knowledge that are necessary for service in this type of troops. Life in the male team will have an impact on the formation of the personality of the conscript.

The theory suggests that each military recruit must independently choose the direction for his service in the army of the Russian Federation.

Are the wishes of recruits taken into account?

In 2017-2018, it is envisaged that the choice of direction army service every citizen liable for military service must follow, therefore it is recommended to inform the doctors in advance during the draft board and when communicating with the military commissar. At the same time, it is recommended to bring arguments in favor of decision. For example, for service in the tractor or automobile troops, it is advisable to take care of special certificates. Despite this, it is not always possible to start the service in the direction of interest. But in any case, it is advisable to determine the direction of service in the army of the Russian Federation for yourself and try to use your legal right.

Directions of army service: brief information

For example, the fleet, special forces, Marines, border troops, reconnaissance battalions- one of the most prestigious areas. Most men with perfect condition health and fitness choose these options.

Fewer people are willing to serve in Internal Troops and in the construction battalion. Despite the presence of respect, the conditions of service are not suitable for everyone.

Many conscripts are guided by the location of the military unit. Sometimes it is possible to deviate from the territorial issue if a man liable for military service has a certain dream and makes an effort to realize it.

Skills, features of physical forms are taken into account. If a man is a bad swimmer, he will not be able to become a Marine.

At the same time, 2-meter men cannot be tankers, paratroopers, or submariners.

Personal wishes and physical abilities do not always correlate, therefore, every citizen liable for military service must be prepared for certain deviations from existing personal wishes.

Types and types of troops of the army of the Russian Federation

In Russia, troops are divided into the following types and types:

Employees of military registration and enlistment offices, if possible, take into account the wishes of citizens liable for military service. In the absence of the opportunity, the soldier must understand that he must agree to the proposals of the military enlistment office in order to fulfill his duty to the Motherland.
