The service life in the army - a lot or a little?

Several years have passed since the army served for two years. Now the terms have been reduced to one. What period of service is needed in the army so that the soldier learns his military specialty? This question is difficult to answer. It would seem that one year would have sufficed if the soldier was mainly engaged in the study of military affairs, on the other hand, it would not be an army, but a sanatorium for boys. Neither your clothes in the kitchen, nor the guards, nor the cleaning of the premises.

Already now it is known that they are going to make the army, as it were more softly expressed, almost a civil institution. In the soldiers' canteen there will be hired chefs, the parade ground will be occupied by the Tajiks, what will our soldiers do? Correctly, to study military specialty. But, again, they should be trained by qualified officers, not yesterday's cadets of military schools, which, perhaps, did not serve, but entered immediately into a military school.

Therefore, the extension of the service in the army can be expected. In addition, it is rumored that from the next year recruits will start serving for two years. Why are soldiers' mothers against this? One year of service they consider sufficient. Clearly, they are afraid for their sons. We were all in the army and we know what it is. Yes, we have to endure, get used to new orders, follow orders from commanders. To all learn, well, at least basic military skills, to learn their military profession, two years of service are needed.

They summoned a young man to the service, and he knows that in 12 months he has a demobilization. Why bother, why hammer your head with all the settings "Grad" and other artillery.

In all there is a negligent attitude to the matter. Not only that the service life in the army only a year, so still have to get on duty on time. Why am I doing this? The matter is that in military registration and enlistment offices a mess is created, the terms of conscription are violated, the cards of registration of conscripts are filled, as horrible, medical witnessing is not carried out in due time.

The military registration and enlistment offices must request a medical card of conscripts, but this is for some reason not done. Young people do not get directions for tests in time. In addition, there are problems with the license. To conduct a medical commission in the military commissariat, there must be a license that allows it. Many military committees ignore this.

There is a way out for young people who do not want or can not serve in the regular army. Alternative service. How long does an alternative civilian service wait for conscripts?

At present, starting from 2008, the period of service for people who serve in organizations and institutions that are in the department of federal structures of executive committees is 21 months. Citizens serving in the subordinate organizations of the Armed Forces of Russia serve 18 months.

Alternative service, of course, is easier, but again, for someone like. Who does not want to serve in a real army, he will also be in the hospital, to care for the sick, filon.

Therefore, the service life in the army must be at least more than one year. The soldier will understand that there is a long service ahead, he will not rush home, but will begin to get used to the created conditions. He will begin to study the military specialty so that later, in the event of military action, if any, it is competent to defend the Motherland, including soldiers' mothers.

In our country, the call, as mentioned above, is not quite right, which entails a violation of the rights of conscripts. They are called either in the middle or at the end of the call. Of course, this does not affect the term of military service, but due to lack of time they do not pass important medical examinations - ECG does not do them, blood test is not taken. When a recruit is declared unfit for military service, his case is not sent for approval.

The conclusion is this: the Russian Army needs order.
