List of military professions and their description

"Soldier" is too general a name to accurately define the scope of responsibilities. It is well known that the military sphere has a large number of specialties, each of which has its own differences. The functions that a person performs are associated with the position that he occupies, and she - with the education received, experience and work experience, as well as the person's military rank.

It depends on the knowledge gained whether he will work at the headquarters, analyzing the content of important documents, work with personnel (and in the military sphere these are soldiers and officers in the first place) or equipment. In addition, a person's inclinations, his personal qualities are important.

The profession of a soldier attracts a huge number of people - recently they are not only males, but also women. Therefore, you should figure out which positions are suitable for women and which ones are suitable for men.

The main advantage of specialties related to military affairs is wages. Over the past 7 years, it has almost tripled, which is a lot. No matter how large the family of a soldier is, it can be argued that they will not have to starve.

Another advantage is the presence of a high pension - much higher than that of “civilian” pensioners. Large sums from the country's budget are intended for the payment of pensions to military pensioners.

And also the military and members of their families are entitled to a fairly significant number of benefits - both in kind and in monetary terms.

There are also many disadvantages in military professions, and they are very significant.

To quickly and successfully build a career in the military industry, it is necessary to pass the following stages of education:

• higher professional - for most military specialties, it is necessary to graduate from a military school or academy, from which the graduate graduates with the rank of lieutenant.

Further advancement of a person on the career ladder depends on his personal qualities, the desire to reach a certain "step".

The choice of a profession must be carried out not only in accordance with the desire, but also with the professional suitability to perform all the necessary functions.

For a civilian to be appointed to this position, permission of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or his consent is required.
