March 8 is a reason to put aside disputes about military conflicts and terrorism, about new weapons and other hot topics. It is more logical on this day to talk about the beautiful half of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The modern Russian army has about 45 thousand female contract women who, along with the stronger sex, perform their military duty. The total number of girls, one way or another related to the Russian army, exceeded 326 thousand. It is significant that this figure is only increasing every year: military service is becoming more and more attractive for our girls.
The RF Armed Forces provide ladies with over 150 different specialties. It must be understood that the army is not only trenches, mud, tanks and weapons. Most of the girls are listed in communications units, specialized educational institutions, medical personnel, food and clothing services. Their merits are difficult to overestimate, a fresh example is the provision of medical assistance to the civilian population of Syria. Fearless women are ready to go to hot spots and perform the most difficult tasks on an equal basis with men.
It is worth noting a significant increase in the number of people wishing to enter the educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense. Popular are the "Naval Academies" in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, VVDKU in Ryazan, VA VKO in Tver, the Moscow Military University and many other departments. A graduate of one of these institutions, as a result, receives a diploma and a military rank, which opens the way for her to enter military structures.
If a girl is really impatient to join the ranks of the defenders of the Motherland, there is always the opportunity to go to serve on a contract basis. Here, of course, you need to take into account some requirements: age from 18 to 40 years, no health problems, good physical fitness. And the specialty that is in demand in the Armed Forces, of course, will be an undoubted plus.
Each candidate must come to the selection point, have a conversation with a special inspector and pass sports standards on three points: strength, speed and endurance. Nothing out of the ordinary - abs exercises, shuttle running and kilometer cross. Standards vary by age. Failed one of the three tests? It doesn't matter, in a month the girl will be able to pass the exam again. If successful, she comes with all the necessary documents and certificates to the military registration and enlistment office, where the question of the candidate's suitability for contract service is decided by voting.
The desire of true patriots to serve for the good of the Motherland does not go unnoticed by the state, which takes great care of the representatives of the RF Armed Forces. Military service is guaranteed stability. There can be no problems with paying salaries, the conditions of the Labor Code are fully observed, there are good career opportunities. Agree, in "civilian life" it is not always easy to find a job with such fundamental conditions.
Another important point is social security. Absolutely all servicemen of the Russian army are provided with a full social package: treatment at the expense of the state (military medicine is a very high level), serious travel benefits, housing. There are 12 more attractive items here, but these three stand apart.
There are a lot of advantages: a hassle-free decree (work will definitely not run away from you), a decent pension, and for some it is also an opportunity to be close to a military husband. In recent years, work in the Armed Forces has become extremely prestigious. And patriotic sentiments in the country awakened great, and the Russian army itself was put in full order.
Getting into the army is not so difficult, but every woman should understand what difficulties she may face in a new workplace. Constant moving, business trips, shifts … The career is attractive, but did anyone say that it would be easy in this area? State security is at stake. They do not come here for the sake of earning money and not those for whom patriotism is something alien. This is not the place in the army, here the priority idea should remain to protect the interests of your country. If the candidate takes into account such nuances, problems will not arise in the future.
On International Women's Day, I would like to congratulate all the fair sex and thank the military girls for trying not to yield to men in this field. Every year Russian women make an increasingly significant contribution to the security of our Motherland. And the stereotype “the army is not a woman’s business” has already been completely destroyed.
