Today, it is possible to become a soldier not only by vocation after receiving a summons with a mandatory period of service. There is still an opportunity to become a contract soldier and get paid for it.
What documents are needed for contract service
Before you are accepted for a contract in the army, you will need to collect documents. Of course, you cannot do without a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. In addition, you will need to fill out a form with an attached autobiography, which you will need to write in free form. In the autobiography, in addition to the usual “born-baptized-married”, it is necessary to indicate the presence of convictions, as well as drives to the police department, their reasons, inclinations, hobbies, habits. Do not forget that, in addition to the above documents, you will need to provide notarized copies of education documents, copies, if you have them, of marriage certificate, as well as birth certificates of your children, a photocopy of a work book. It is worth mentioning that a 9 by 12 photo and a characterization from the previous workplace are required.
Where do you need to go to apply for a contract service?
First, you will need to submit a special application and the above documents to the military registration and enlistment office. After receiving the documents, a preliminary conclusion about your suitability will be issued, then you need to undergo a medical examination.
You will not need to visit the district clinic, the medical commission of the recruiting office at the place of your registration will assess the degree of your fitness, as well as mental stability. So, after the adventures of psychological testing, you will be assigned to one of 4 groups.
If you are taken to the first or second, you get to contract service. If you find yourself in the third category, then acceptance on a contract basis is a big question, but if you were assigned to the fourth group, you should forget about serving in the army.
The final stage in the selection of suitable candidates is to determine their compliance with the declared (or required type of military) education, professional and physical training.
Decision-making
The decision to accept you to serve in the Russian Armed Forces under a contract is made within two weeks, during which time the military registration and enlistment office will conduct the necessary checks, as well as form your documents into a personal file, determine your military affiliation, deployment and timing of dispatch to the "point".
Newbie contractors are on probation for the first three months, after which an order is received to conclude, in fact, a contract.
You also need to know that people from 18 to 40 can be accepted for contract service. In addition, the first contract with you will be for a period of 3 years, but the decision on further extension or termination of the contract is made by the unit commander.
