Contrary to popular belief that the defense of the Motherland is an occupation only for men, more and more representatives of the fair sex are joining the ranks of the Russian army. Many female servicemen are hardy, hardworking, and not afraid to take up arms. Often they take the tasks of the commander much more responsibly than their male counterparts.
Why do young girls agree and even aspire to become military personnel? What schools do they go to? Are there military specialties suitable for women? We will try to answer these questions in detail.
The state is interested in female military personnel
Currently, there are approximately 100,000 women in the army and navy of the Russian Federation. Half of them are in military positions, half in civilian positions. Girls in peacetime are not subject to mandatory conscription into the army. They serve only own will, on a contract basis.
One of the strategic goals of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation after 2010 is to arouse in the fair sex representatives an interest in military service. Due to the fact that many men do not want to join the army and try different ways to avoid the fulfillment of civic duty, many vacancies are formed in the armed forces of Russia. Women who are ready to serve help solve the problem of staffing the army. Thanks to the growing number of ladies in the ranks of the defenders of the Fatherland, the armed forces of the Russian Federation are becoming more progressive and diversified.
The State Duma is preparing a bill, according to which girls who have reached the age of 18 will be sent summons from military registration and enlistment offices. However, it is up to the women to decide whether to serve or not.
Why do girls want to join the army
It turns out that there are quite a few young women who are ready to become defenders of the Fatherland. In military educational institutions, there is often a big competition for "ladies'" specialties: up to 10 applicants for a place. What motives most often encourage women to become military personnel?
1. Many girls want to join the army because they are true patriots of Russia. They want to defend their homeland and consider military affairs to be their vocation.
2. Some women see military service as a way to move up the social ladder. This motive is especially common among women planning to build a political career.
3. Spouses of the defenders of the Motherland, living in units and closed towns, often master military professions. For them, as a rule, there is no other opportunity to go to work.
4. Some young girls enter military universities at the insistence of parents who want to instill high moral character in their daughters. Mothers and fathers rightly believe that by studying the art of the army, their daughters will acquire such valuable qualities as purposefulness, willpower, and strictness towards themselves. As a rule, in this case, parents do not insist that the girls remain in military service after graduation. However, many young women are "drawn in" and continue to work in their profession on a voluntary basis.
5. For some girls, mastering the military becomes the only way to get a higher education, if in locality there are no other universities.
6. Many young women entering the service seek to improve their chances of marriage in this way. In they work together with young men and are often surrounded by the attention of fans.
Some of the fair sex on the forums note that women, along with men, should be subject to mandatory conscription into the army. Ladies believe that this will help them acquire the necessary self-defense skills, learn how to handle weapons and provide first aid. medical care. In addition, many young girls are ready to serve because, if necessary, the fair sex will also have to defend their homeland.
What jobs can women be hired for?
There is a list of military specialties for women, approved by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The text of the document is classified. It is known, however, that representatives of the weaker sex should not be involved in combat operations on the front line. Female soldiers participate in battles only when absolutely necessary. In the army, they perform the role of rear workers.

On this moment time, everything connected with the military forces and defense is quite prestigious. People in uniform can count on decent wages, benefits and allowances, on the provision of living space, and so on. Besides, myself labor process quite interesting in many ways.

Do girls want to enter military schools, see the report in the following video:
Today, the fair sex is increasingly taking high positions in politics, economics, health care. The country's armed forces are no exception. Even in a purely male business, girls often appear in important positions. Yet not every woman will be hired. To do this, several conditions must be met.
Can a girl join the army
In our country, many believe that the army is not a place for the weaker sex, while others, on the contrary, admire women who easily handle weapons and give orders to entire platoons.
A few years ago, the government discussed a bill on the conscription of childless girls who are 23 years old into the army. However, many did not support this idea, and the path to the army for the fair sex was closed.
Today girls from North Korea, Peru, Malaysia and Israel fall under the mandatory draft. Of course, you can get citizenship of another country and go to work. Women who choose to serve in Russia are left to choose other alternatives:
Contract service
To serve in Russian army call exclusively young males. Women are not subject to conscription under the Constitution of our country. However, those who dream of army everyday life have such an opportunity. A girl can voluntarily enter into a fixed-term contract for service.
She has the right to choose any type of troops if they have a vacancy for her. Subject to physical and mental compliance, a lady can even serve in the rocket or space forces, as well as in the navy.
military school
Another option for serving is to enroll in a military school or ensign school. This may be, for example, the Suvorov or Nakhimov School. After graduation, the cadets go along with the men to the duty station. However, not every girl is able to cope with difficult entrance exams, pass a medical examination and be the best among the huge competition.
How to get a girl into the army under a contract
A woman who wants to devote her everyday life to army service must apply to the military commissariat belonging to her house according to her registration, with a corresponding application. You can visit the military unit itself or send documents through the state website. After that, within a month, the girl should receive an order to undergo certain events:- verification of educational level;
- checking the physical and psychological condition;
- medical examination.
The procedure for hiring a girl for the service is almost no different from the events for men. If everything is in order with the mental and physical condition of the girl, she will be offered to sign a contract.
It is better if a woman comes for an interview with an instructor at a selection point. He will tell you about all the advantages and disadvantages of military service under the contract, the nuances of this difficult task, and also find out the motives for entering the ranks of the troops and help you choose options for military specialties. The final choice of profession awaits the lady only after professional psychological selection.
Which girls will not be hired
The requirements for girls who decide to serve under a contract are identical to the conditions that apply to men. Namely:
- She must be an adult, but under 40 years old.
- Education is not below average.
- The girl must be in good physical shape and receive category A or B in health.
The presence of a spouse and children is not a reason for refusing contractual service, as well as the state of pregnancy or the recovery period after childbirth.
