The choice of a military school for admission after school requires not only knowledge, but also the realization that there is a special regulation for collecting documents and undergoing professional selection. Military schools have always been different from other educational institutions. Getting there is not so easy. Admission is accompanied by exams, psychological and physical tests.

Types of military schools

In our country, at the present time, there are 2 types of military professional education - basic and higher.

Basic education includes the following schools:

• Cadet.
• Suvorov.
• Nakhimovskoe.

These educational institutions accept male individuals who have not reached the age of eighteen. At the school, the term of study can be 2-4 years.

Higher education includes the following educational institutions:

• Command School.
• Institute.
• Academy.

In higher educational institutions, training lasts 2-3 years.

• marine;
• rocket troops;
• railway troops;
• military-technical;
• military justice;
• ground troops;
• Cossack;
• military musical.

What to do to enroll in a military school

You have made a decision and have no limits. First you need to apply to the district military registration and enlistment office. You will be given a form where you write about your desire to study at a military school. Be sure to indicate which particular school you will be applying to. Each university has its own regulations for admission, but you can highlight the general requirements for the documents being prepared.

An applicant for a military school must have:

• A document confirming the completion of a complete secondary education.
• Completed application form with a questionnaire.
• Copy of passport, birth certificate and copy of military ID.
• Autobiography.
• Characteristics from the last place of study (work).
• Photos for opening a personal file.
• Documents confirming the availability of benefits.
• Service card of a soldier (if any).

If the applicant has some personal achievements, then you need to provide all diplomas and certificates of completion of courses, certificates of sports achievements, parachuting or shooting, certificates of participation in olympiads or competitions. All these little things can be decisive in any contentious issue, whether to accept you or not.

With a lot of competition, applicants are interested in the availability of benefits. Privileges and benefits are provided for:

• orphans and children without guardianship;
• if the child has a gold medal;
• students who have completed the preparatory courses of the selected university;
• combatants;
• graduates of other military institutions with basic flight training;
• persons who have completed the first year of an ordinary university, where the profile specialty coincides with the specialty of the school.

How to enter a military school if you do not have special achievements

You must show excellent knowledge in the exams and of course prove your motivation in the professional selection, which is always carried out before admission to the main tests. It is important to be able to formulate goals in your life and have excellent physical fitness. There is a high probability that at one of the selection stages you will be asked to write a detailed essay on the topic “why do I want to become a military man?”. Please note that this essay will significantly affect the perception of the applicant by the commission. Professional selection for 11th graders is held at local military registration and enlistment offices until May 15. If you enter after the army, then the selection for such applicants has been extended until June 1.

All personal files and documents of applicants are sent to the schools of their choice. From there, a letter with a challenge is already sent. Already in the school itself, various interviews for professional selection are held with applicants, and only after that candidates are allowed to take entrance exams. With their successful delivery, the applicant becomes a cadet and enters military life.

The military school is a good preparatory stage for the younger generation in the study of army affairs. However, the school is only a base that provides primary skills and knowledge for entering a university.

I won’t say that the decision to enter a military educational institution was quite conscious: then I still didn’t quite understand where I was going :) There are no officers in the family, it was only my choice and, no matter what, I don’t regret anything, because I got a school that you can't get anywhere else.
In order to avoid advertising or anti-advertising, let's omit the name of the university, and get straight to the point.

Study benefits:
1) Transparent admission system. In order to study on a budget, it is quite good to pass the UPE, physical training standards and pass a medical examination.
For 5 years of study, I have not paid for a single exam, which cannot but rejoice. Corruption, nevertheless, exists, but it will not interfere with those who have brains. Nobody asks for a bribe.

2) Good physical preparation. Teachers at the department are masters of their craft and know how to instill a love for sports. Over time, exercise becomes an integral part of everyday life.

3) Men's team. A definite plus, I think :) It's really easier to get along with men: they are straightforward and not prone to intrigues.

4) Hostels are provided to everyone without exception. Scholarship too, even for C students.

5) Stress resistance, organization and punctuality are developed. It helps in achieving any goals.

6) Employment after study.

7) Cadets must wear a uniform, so you don’t have to worry about what to wear every day :)

And now, according to the classics of the genre, we move on to the dramatic part. Minuses:

1) Restrictions on freedom and personal space. The first two years (conscription service) cadets live like in a cage. Walking is only possible on weekends. Not for long. On the way to the museum. Further (3-5 courses), the regime is more loyal, but you don’t have to think about walking around the city at night and in general about freely leaving the territory.
They rummage through personal things: they check the order. They open bedside tables, cabinets ... They don't need a court order for this.

2) Over time, the understanding comes that some elements of training (combat training, for example) are needed in order to make cadets easily manageable.

3) Regular outfits, including daily ones.

4) It is difficult to plan your pastime, because there is always someone who planned it for you. Without asking your permission. Wanted to go to the cinema / to a concert / to visit for the weekend? Okay, but first - to the museum. Or on a tour. In a classic suit, even if it's hot outside.

5) New Year, Christmas, Easter and other family holidays are often celebrated by cadets within the walls of their native barracks.

6) Collective punishment. Again, stupid control.

7) Many unreasonable, incomprehensible prohibitions. For example, you can’t go on layoffs in a T-shirt with straps or in a tracksuit. You can’t walk through the 3rd floor, you can’t catch the eyes of the rector, you can’t, you can’t ...

This is not the whole list, just the first that came to mind. Perhaps, over time, I will look at some things differently. In general, it is not in vain that the military has the right to retire early. After all, the longer in the service, the more the psyche suffers.

Military universities traditionally stand apart in a number of higher educational institutions: special conditions for admission, strict discipline and subordination, a specific regime ...

The vast majority of civilian universities in Russia are subordinate to the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, while the military ones are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, which establishes and regulates rules and procedures for them. In addition, all military universities are divided according to the types of troops: universities of missile forces, ground forces, air forces, etc.

If you decide to enter a military university, be prepared for the fact that at all stages of the journey, from submitting documents to receiving the coveted "crust", you have to communicate with people in uniform. Therefore, when collecting information about a military university, one should not be guided by general civil rules and guidelines. For example, the rules for admission to military universities practically do not take into account the innovations of recent years: while most applicants "in civilian life" take entrance exams in the form of tests, applicants for military universities write dictations and tests in the old fashioned way. The same can be said about the Unified State Examination: being outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, military leaders have the right to consider the Regulations on the conduct of a unified state exam as information for reflection, but not as a direct guide to action.

Universities with a broad profile

The set of specialties in which modern military universities are trained is quite extensive. The specialization of the university mainly depends on the profile, or rather, on the type of troops to which the educational institution belongs. At the same time, many military universities duplicate civilian areas of training, and more and more often they include the usual economic and legal specialties. Thus, the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation trains sociologists, lawyers, managers of social and cultural activities, translators and social work specialists.

Some of the specialties offered by the universities of the Ministry of Defense are multifunctional - graduates are equally in demand both in "military field conditions" and "in civilian life." First of all, this concerns the engineering and technical direction. For example, from the walls of the Military Technical University of the Federal Service for Special Construction of the Russian Federation, engineers of lifting and transport, road, construction machines and equipment, specialists in industrial and civil construction, in the design of roads, airfields, transport tunnels, etc.

Finally, a certain part of the military professions lies in a highly specific field of application, which has no analogues in civilian life. For example, after graduating from the Academy of Civil Protection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, one can become a specialist in mathematical support for research on weapons, equipment and the use of civil protection forces.

Autograph for the military commissar

To apply to a military university, the applicant will have to go to the military registration and enlistment office (at the place of residence).

You must have with you:

• the passport;
• a copy of the document on secondary education (secondary students provide a certificate of current performance);
• three photographs (without headgear, size 4.5x6 cm);
• characteristics from the place of study or work;
• autobiography.

In the military registration and enlistment office, the applicant writes an application with a request for admission to the selected university. All this must be done before April 20 of this year.

After the primary documents have been submitted, it remains to pass a medical examination, and yesterday's student becomes a candidate for study at a military university. Applications are considered by the admissions committee of the university, and the final decision on admission to exams (or refusal to do so) is communicated to candidates through the military registration and enlistment office by June 20.

The procedure for submitting documents is somewhat different for those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces: in this case, the applicant submits a report addressed to his immediate commander by April 1 of the current year, and he, having provided the petition with all the necessary papers, passes it on to the authority .

Another feature of entering military universities is that there are quite strict age restrictions. Young people who have not served in the army can become cadets from 16 to 22 years old, having "experience" of army service - up to 24 (age is determined at the time of application).

Fell - wrung out

Entrance tests to military universities are held from July 1 to July 20, and they also differ somewhat from "civilian" ones. To pass the competitive selection, knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem and the gimlet rule will not be enough.

The first stage is a psychological and psychophysical examination of candidates. Then - a test of physical fitness: pull-ups on the crossbar (11 times - "excellent", 9 - "good", 7 - "satisfactory"), hundred meters, 3 km run. And, finally, the actual exams in general education disciplines. They, as a rule, consist of mathematics (major subject) and dictation in the Russian language. The third exam (physics, chemistry, history) depends on the profile of the chosen educational institution.

The average competition for military universities is 2.5-3 people per place. However, these figures (not too high for Moscow) speak, rather, not about the ease of admission, but about its specifics. On the one hand, there are really few people who want to get a military education, on the other hand, not every civilian with average training is able to go through all the "military tricks" associated with admission (questionnaire - checking the psycho-emotional state - physical fitness - general education base).

The system of benefits provided by the legislation of the Russian Federation for applicants to higher educational institutions also applies to military universities: orphans, medalists, winners of olympiads, etc. have various privileges. Disabled people are an exception from this list for obvious reasons.

I would go to field marshals ...
Graduates leave the walls of the alma mater with the rank of lieutenant. All newly-made commanders are waiting for distribution: at least five years after graduation from a military university, yesterday's cadet must devote to the Fatherland. The further fate of the graduate will depend both on the type of troops and the place of service, as well as on personal qualities and ambitions. It is enough to look at the political and administrative elite of our country to understand that graduates of military universities can make a brilliant career and achieve impressive success. For officers who want to achieve a high position, there are universities that provide a second military education, postgraduate courses, specialized advanced training institutes, etc.

Cadet or student?

When all the tests are passed, the candidate turns into a cadet. This status corresponds to the status of a student of a civil university, however, there are more differences between a cadet and a student than common features. If with the beginning of the student life, young people have the most fun and carefree time, then with the beginning of their studies at a military university, this very time ends. Routine, schedule and subordination become a fundamental element in the life of all future officers.

Cadets are removed from military registration (they are not subject to general conscription) and put on a special account - they are enrolled in active military service. For the first two years they (regardless of the need for government housing) live in the barracks and, in addition to training, perform duties that are traditionally included in the concept of military service. From the third year, you can move to a hostel or live at home.

All types of allowances are issued for the cadet, he is given uniforms. Holidays last two weeks in winter and a month in summer. In fact, studying at a military university is equivalent to military service.

Sergei Litvinov, a graduate of a military university:

The lack of hazing is more than compensated for by tough discipline, exhausting physical exertion, and in the first and second years - also by a variety of chores. Get ready to learn how to hold a jackhammer in your hands, lay asphalt, do all kinds of repairs of premises and furniture, in the fall - harvesting in the fields near Moscow, in winter - endless clearing of roads from snow and many other useful things.

You will be taught how to shoot, control military equipment, perform drills and carefully take care of military uniforms. In parallel, it will be necessary to learn military regulations and, of course, all disciplines of the specialty. You will have to study at full strength, often at night, as very serious disciplinary sanctions are imposed for poor progress.

Until recently, such a tight schedule was indispensable for anyone who dreamed of studying at a military university. Today, along with the harsh tradition, there is also a softer regime - for those who enter on a paid basis. (The first experiment on the recruitment of "payers" was held at the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2003). Such cadets are relieved of the need to bear the hardships and hardships of military service: their life differs little from the life of ordinary civilian students.

Hello. My name is Evgeniy. I am 18 years old. I am one of those people who have a very hard time. He began his studies at a military university. Before entering, I did not know that it would be so unbearable for me to get an education there. Thoughts of suicide began to appear at 3 months of training. It's only been 5 months since admission. Learning is difficult only because I realize that this is not my thing. In the platoon, the attitude towards me is bad, I was not accepted in this society. Even at the enrollment, I realized that I needed to write a report on expulsion. Parents always talk about material well-being. And for me it is not the most important thing. I feel like I'm on the edge. He started smoking, which he had never done before. Why torture yourself and your parents by continuing your studies at this university. I still do not learn the program due to the lack of conditions. I went to a psychologist... He couldn't help me. They told me "be patient, it will be easier in 4 months", but on the contrary, it is worse and more difficult for me every day. I don't know if you can help somehow.

Hello Zhenya! In fact, the first year at the university is a complete stress for everyone (regardless of the university).
Have you tried mild sedatives? What was this psychologist? Searched by myself / parents or was it a university staff psychologist? How many sessions?
Thoughts of suicide due to falling behind in school and due to the fact that relationships with classmates do not add up? If you do not need it, you feel so bad, then why all this? Is it important to get a diploma from this particular university? At any time you can write an application for expulsion, return home, confront your parents with this fact, find a job, prepare for the exam, pass it over 80 and enter an awesome university where there will be no such military discipline. There are military departments in normal universities - there will be no need to join the army. Another thing is that you need to think and weigh everything, so as not to regret it later.
Parents can say whatever they want - it's not their life. I'm sure, one way or another, they will have to support you, regardless of your decision.

More patience. Learn to communicate with people, understand the reason why you were not accepted or treated badly. I also study at a military university only in the 3rd year. I had exactly the same thoughts as you. Study, there are conditions, it's just your laziness. Learn sampo, don’t do nonsense, read books on psychology, make contact with the platoon, this is your family that will accept you, be patient a little more, don’t give up, take care of yourself, evaluate your behavior, the reason is always in ourselves, I myself recently realized. This is your test, God wants you to learn to live here and now. I'm more than sure that you've had communication problems before.
I was also worried at first. But you can’t fall into depression in such an educational institution, get out of it at any cost, and your parents are right. In our country, fairy tales are about finding your own business, developing in accordance with your inner world, etc. all this does not work. Your university is a really good school of life, and it’s worth going through if God is like that
ordered. Do not try to deduct, everything will work out, just communicate more.
For example, I ran for a year on personal time, and this is a very good way to get rid of depression and bad thoughts.
Comrade cadet! Leave depression! Your job is to serve your country. Give your time to study and sports, and try to communicate more, more humor and good mood. Work on your behavior and everything will work out, I promise you. Check out Nick Vujicic!
I believe in you!

Poromon, age: 20/11/01/2015

Hey! Zhen, the psychologist is right about something - when it's very bad - the simplest thing is to wait - because everything passes. You see, the simple rule is that nothing lasts forever. And if you really don’t like your studies, you can always change it. you can just work for a year. find where you like. Have pity on your parents and grandparents, and yourself. Lord, you have your whole life ahead of you! you can do everything. And I’ll give you 2 pieces of advice - first, go to church to the priest, tell him that you don’t know how to be. Listen to what he has to say, just listen. Read on the Internet about Matryona of Moscow, ask her for help - she said that whoever turns to her will never be left without help. And yet - try to post a photo on some dating site - so you can make new friends, girls. And new friends always bring a lot of interesting things. Pzhsta, do not fill your head with such stupid thoughts.

Elena, age: 42 / 01/11/2015

Eugene,
If this is not really yours, then I would have left if I were you. If you liked military affairs, then you could endure a bad attitude and immerse yourself in your studies. , but for what? I never worked in the specialty, to which my parents also sent me, and the diploma from the university (where I entered later) was also not useful. Now, at the age of 35, I receive a second higher education in absentia.
I say all this to the fact that at your age and 2-3 years it is not a pity to lose in order to decide on the choice of a future profession.

sk, age: 35/11.01.2015

Drop out, why suffer for 5 years and then work all your life where you don’t want to. Really think about what you're going to do next. Surely you will have to go to the army already, since you are fit for service, so if military service is so difficult for you, then you can be commissioned for medical reasons, since depression is obvious here, and they are not subject to conscription with it.

Anton, age: 25/11.01.2015

Hello. I sympathize with your story. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll still speak out ... Maybe I really shouldn't torture myself in this university, and go where it's really interesting? Maybe you enjoy being creative? Or write programs? Think about what you would like to do. How many of these young people suffer because they have chosen an unloved specialty or the wrong institute. Military business is wonderful only if there is a calling for it. Try talking to your family. Material well-being is good, but you should not achieve it through constant hassle. Good luck in realizing what you want in life, and strength to overcome all difficulties.

Striped cat, age: 29/11.01.2015

Zhenya, hello! my son was in the military and know something about it. we are from the village, we lived very poorly ... so for our son it was a chance - not to hunchback all his life for a penny, to have a more or less respected profession and salary too. HE WAS DIFFICULT ... both in the first year and in the 3rd. but he recalled (and we helped too) how he spent time in the village and did not receive ANYTHING. he weeded 18 hectares of sunflower with us, he cleaned manure after nutria, and we reminded him - how in the heat 40 gr. most of our nutrias died, and we howled out of grief. we explained to him that a second time he would not have a chance. he knew that we paid HUGE money for admission. I think yours paid too. our son graduated. DOES NOT REGRET. He also had to ADAPT. understand - THIS IS LIFE!!! Think maybe you're wrong somewhere. Yes, and relationships can be improved - there would be a desire !!! I have a request to you - DON'T HURRY ... for sure, it's hard for other guys, they just hide everything, keep it in themselves. Zhenechka, hold out for a year, and then we'll see. HOLD!!!

larisa, age: 50 / 01/11/2015

Dear Eugene! Choosing a profession is a serious and very important matter. It is extremely important to make this decision yourself!!! Don't look at anyone!!!
Try to reason. The truth is not always on the surface.
We often look for an easier way, and this plays a cruel joke on us.
Is military business really not yours?! Maybe your training is weak? - It's quite fixable! Having a hard time adapting? Problems with discipline, self-organization? Is it hard to be in a group all the time? Such difficulties are on the way to any profession. With perseverance, all of them can be overcome.
My children study far from home. The first two years were continuous conflicts of everyone with everyone. As well as boycotts, set-ups, meanness and even hidden theft. Although in appearance they are all decent ... Teachers did not react to this in any way. We were shocked. We got to the director. He said: "Believe me, this is normal. In two or three years they will become one family. For life. This was the case with me when I studied here. This has been the case for all 40 years that I have been working here." He was right. Real friends also need to suffer. You can live without conflicts according to the principle "hello, bye, we can't baptize children together," but then no one will become truly close.
Do you need to drop everything now and look for something else?! There will be difficulties elsewhere, and they will also have to be overcome. Does it make sense to "change the awl for soap"?
Answer yourself honestly: "WHY did I come here, what attracted me, what exactly did I expect to get here?".
For a good salary? - You get money once a month, and you have to work every day from morning to evening. Money is important (especially if you plan to start a family). But they cannot be the ONLY incentive to get a certain profession. With effort, in any business you can see the pros for yourself.
Try to evaluate the benefits of learning for yourself personally. I think she's really big.
Without a doubt, life and health are more precious than any money and success. But before you submit a report for deduction, you need to decide what you will do after. Quitting a prestigious university, sitting at home or loitering in search of something unknown (under the general misunderstanding of others) is also a difficult test, believe me !!!
If you have no idea what you want at all, then it’s better to stay at your university for now and think actively, prepare ways of retreat. Find where you can transfer or where you are ready to accept. Or find a job that you could do. Is there any pleasure in looking at the world from the window of your room?!

Elena Ordinary, age: 39 / 11.01.2015

Zhenya, why don't you want to transfer to another university? Your university is not the only one in the country. try to choose something to which the soul lies. Then money can appear when you start doing what is interesting. And try to quit smoking, why would you depress your health? Look for yourself, be sure to look for your favorite thing! What is better to take your own life or leave the university and find your favorite job?
Don't worry, everything will work out with God's help! Pray as you can, as you can in your own words. If baptized - confess, take communion.
Many answers here http://azbyka.ru/
God help you!
