The issue of military service is of great concern to the modern generation of young people. The stories about hazing and other hardships, as well as the often negative attitude of parents towards such a child's fate, did their job. Fewer and fewer people want to join the armed forces. The contract army is something more serious, they come here only at will, and they pay money for the service, as in a regular job.
Why do you need a contract service
To argue about whether the contract army is good or bad is fundamentally wrong. In this matter, it is necessary to start from expediency and possibility. Such a system of service is practiced all over the world, and it is wrong to form an active army, separating people from their work, family and other affairs. First of all, contract soldiers are the personnel that are lacking in different places to fulfill the tasks of the RF Armed Forces.
These people study military craft, have constant practice and are ready for the conditions of hostilities. It is this army that will take the first blow in the event of war and will hold it back while the general mobilization is carried out. The country needs such an army.
Secondly, it is an opportunity to work and earn money for young people who cannot find themselves in life. Of course, no one will go to serve on a contract, if there is no patriotism in it. So all these people are not in the army in vain. This is the school of life, and those people who are close in spirit, which they lacked in civilian life.
Only a person who has served compulsory military service can go to serve on a contract basis. This is an excellent filter for recruitment, since those who all year dreamed of finishing it as soon as possible will not return to the army, and those who, according to the mistaken opinion, want to do nothing and live dependent on the state, will not get there.
Features of the contract service
Do not think that a contract army forces soldiers to go to serve only because of the money they will earn. According to the law, it is established that a young person fit for military service between the ages of 18 and 27 must go to the reserve after a year from the date of commencement of the service. For everyone who wants to stay in the army, a contract system was developed. Without it, it is simply impossible to constantly keep the combat capability of the army and units in a functioning state.
Salary is just an incentive for those who are ready to work for the good of the country. For future soldiers who will leave the reserve to continue serving, wages, provision of housing, setting for allowance, both in food and in clothing, are provided. There is also career growth and training, and retraining for higher ranks. From the very beginning, they call for the rank from private to senior sergeant.
After serving under the contract, each person can continue to work in the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation anywhere in the country.
