When thinking about the laws that must be observed in the army, cases of hazing between servicemen (simply "bullying") and desertion, which have been replicated by the media, inevitably pop up in my head. Moreover, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is just the tip of the iceberg in a huge array of regulations that should be guided in everyday life by servicemen of the Russian army.
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by studying Section VI of the Federal Law of March 28, 1998, No. 53-FZ "On conscription and military service." It provides detailed information on the service life of servicemen, on the procedure for taking the military oath and, most importantly, on military ranks, which I strongly recommend to learn in advance so as not to be seen in the army as a "brake" that cannot quickly master basic things.
Step 2
Read the Federal Law of May 27, 1998 No. 76-FZ "On the Status of Servicemen." It explains your rights and responsibilities during your military service, and your responsibility for violating those responsibilities.
Step 3
The process of passing military service is regulated by 3 Charters (the Charter of service on the ships of the Navy is also in force in the Navy).
1. The Charter of the Internal Service of the RF Armed Forces is the basic normative legal act regulating the daily life and activities of servicemen in a military unit in order to maintain internal order and military discipline;
2. The Disciplinary Charter of the RF Armed Forces defines the concept of "military discipline", regulates the duties of servicemen to comply with it, the types of rewards and punishments, and also prescribes the procedure for submitting applications, complaints and suggestions. In particular, after reading this charter, you will find out for what military offenses you can be sent to the guardhouse;
3. The charter of the garrison, commandant and guard services of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation determines the purpose, the procedure for organizing and carrying out guard, commandant and garrison services, the rights and obligations of servicemen carrying these services.
Step 4
Do not forget to read Chapter 33 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, especially Art. 335 “Violation of the statutory rules of relations between servicemen in the absence of subordination relations between them”, Article 337 “Unauthorized abandonment of a unit or place of service”, as well as Article 338 “Desertion”. As statistics show, these are the most common offenses committed by military personnel. Therefore, the awareness of what, in your opinion, an innocent prank like AWOL can threaten you, can save you, for example, from punishment in the form of detention in a disciplinary military unit.
Step 5
Be sure to read about the current informal army rules. Find acquaintances who served in the army, and ask them to tell how everything really works there. Search the forums of those who have served in the army and ask them questions that interest you. Remember that living experience will not replace hundreds of circulars and prescriptions, and as practice shows, real life often does not comply with the provisions of regulatory legal acts.
