Military Contract

Contract service is not a mere job. Contract serviceman is a professional defender of the Motherland.

Contract service is available to all men up to 40 years old, provided they have done their Draft military service for at least 6 months. The Contract is concluded for three years. To sign up for contract service, a citizen needs to apply to the Enlistment Office in place of his residence and a Draftee serviceman needs to address the Commander of his military unit.

The Army needs professionals – they are recruited as officers. A person may file an application for training upon which he will be granted an officer rank. Young people completing the officer training department program start their service as lieutenants.

It is not always that a young man can enter the university of his choice. As a result, he graduates with not the speciality he wanted to work in afterwards. Whereas here the young people are given the real chance to try hand in a new field.

Contract servicemen are entitled to special privileges: free housing, out-of-competition entry into the military higher education institution, extensive vacation, long-service bonuses.

Non-working wives of contract servicemen are eligible for work record.

Contract service enables personal fulfillment and gives useful experience which will come very handy even in the civil career.
