According to the plans of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the number of contract servicemen in the Armed Forces should increase by 50 thousand people annually. By 2017, the number of contract servicemen should be 425 thousand people, and the ratio of soldiers and sergeants from among contract servicemen to conscripts should be 60 to 40%, respectively.
Young people should be attracted to military service not only by patriotism and a desire to serve the state interests, but also social guarantees and prospects that the army is ready to provide them.
The department of the military commissariat of the Rostov region for Volgodonsk selects for military service under a contract in the following divisions of the Southern Military District:
25th separate regiment special purpose GRU(military unit 05525)
This military unit was created in 2011 to ensure the security of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and subsequently to strengthen security in the region. Deployed in Stavropol.
The main thing that this unit can attract young military personnel with is a good supply of service housing. A whole microdistrict with all the necessary infrastructure has been built here for the military. The regiment commander immediately hands over the keys to the 2-room apartment to the family contract soldiers, especially since not all of the 4,000 apartments are occupied. Also, if you wish, it is allowed to rent housing (compensation is paid), or you can live in a hostel, which is located across the street from the checkpoint of the unit.
Another attractive moment for married couples: the leadership of the military unit, when recruiting personnel for civilian positions, gives preference to the wives of military personnel, so it is quite possible to find a job for a spouse.
Perhaps Volgodon residents will also like the city itself, which resembles our greenery and cleanliness, but much more “profitable” for living in terms of prices, for example, for food and utilities (especially since the military have benefits here).
Bachelors will have to live in new modular barracks, 3-4 people per room. The module itself is two living rooms with a shared bathroom, which has a shower and a dryer for clothes and shoes. There is a relaxation room on the floor where you can watch TV or have tea.
Combat training begins from the first day of service. Outfits for the kitchen, cleaning, etc. no - civilian personnel for that.
Required military specialties: scout, scout-sapper, scout-sniper, signalman, driver. Requirements for candidates: 20-30 years old, health status - category "A", education not lower than secondary (complete) general, no criminal record.
The monetary allowance is transferred to the card of Sberbank (or another bank) and ranges from 38 thousand rubles (for privates) to 49 thousand rubles. (for sergeants).
Engineer Battalion (Mine Clearance) of the 11th Guards Separate Engineering Brigade
During the warm period of the year (7-8 months) military unit 45767 is deployed in the village of Khankala in the Chechen Republic, as well as in the village of Troitskaya in the Sunzhensky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, where it performs mine clearance operations in Chechnya and other North Caucasian republics. Demining is carried out, as a rule, by technical means, or direct demining is carried out by specialists who underwent special training, and subsequently worked for another six months as trainees.
"Winter apartments" are modular barracks in the town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Family servicemen are allowed to rent housing with subsequent payment of compensation. Meals are free, three times a day. On the territory of the military town there is a canteen, a bath and laundry plant, a club, a medical center, and a sports town.
Monetary allowance, taking into account allowances, including for working out tasks in the field and for demining - from 27 to 40 thousand rubles. Plus - once a year, financial assistance in the amount of at least one salary.
One year of service here is counted for 1.5 years of work experience.

22 separate brigade of special GRU appointments
It is deployed in the village of Stepnoy near Aksay, as well as in the city of Bataysk.
A unique military unit that has concluded agreements with a number of universities in the Don capital! Thus, while serving under a contract in the "22nd Aksai", servicemen can also get higher education, for example, at the Don State Technical University, the Pedagogical Institute of the Southern Federal University, the Rostov State Transport University, in the SFedU itself or even at the Rostov Conservatory. named after Rachmaninov (in total there are 40 universities in the list).
For the entire period of service, contract servicemen are provided with service housing, including service apartments for family military personnel in the settlement of Stepnoy and the city of Bataysk, as well as a family hostel.
In addition, servicemen who have entered into a second contract can submit a report on participation in the accumulative mortgage system and be provided with permanent housing using mortgage lending funds.
Sergeant schools
The department of the military commissariat of the Rostov region for Volgodonsk selects candidates for training in sergeant schools at the highest military educational institutions
Sergeant schools are, in fact, "military technical schools" in which there is a secondary vocational education on the basis of higher military educational institutions. That is, in 2 years 10 months, a young man who has passed the necessary exams and passed a medical examination, in addition to general military skills, receives the necessary professional skills, a military specialty and the rank of sergeant. Recall that it is professionally trained sergeants who must replace the abolished institution of warrant officers in the Russian army.
After graduating, for example, a sergeant school at the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Ryazan), you can get both the military specialty "use of airborne units" and the civilian one - " Maintenance and repair of road transport ", qualification -" technician ". A sergeant school at the Military Academy of Communications (St. Petersburg, a branch in Krasnodar) prepares information security specialists.
Those wishing to enroll in sergeant schools must serve in the army and be in the reserve, or be drafted into military service and serve six months, as well as serve under a contract (except for officers); have secondary (complete) general education or primary vocational education; age - from 19 to 24 years old, contract soldiers - up to 30 years old; have no health restrictions.
Monetary allowance for cadets - from 7200 rubles. up to 15,000 rubles. Those who have all the marks "excellent" - a monthly allowance of up to 17,000 rubles, "good" and "excellent" - a bonus of up to 7,000 rubles.
The cadets are provided with free meals, uniforms and housing. Family cadets, at the end of their first semester, are allowed to live outside the unit in rented accommodation (the cost of rent is compensated in accordance with the established procedure).
A system of material incentives for the progress of cadets has been developed: for studying without "triples", their monetary allowance can be increased by 12 thousand rubles. In addition, they are entitled to two vacation vacations - in winter and summer - and free travel on vacation and back.
After graduating from sergeant schools, former cadets are employed in military units of the Russian army as junior command personnel (in accordance with their specialty) with an appropriate monetary allowance - from 30 thousand rubles.
More about the terms of service under a contract in the Armed Forces Russian Federation, as well as about training in sergeant schools, you can find out in the Department of the military commissariat of the Rostov region in Volgodonsk: Gagarina st., 18, room 7, from 8.30 to 17.00 every day, except weekends.
I want to devote my next post to the topic - my dismissal from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and share my impressions of military service in the special forces (SPN), popularly referred to as the GRU special forces. For two years, I served in the special forces, saw a lot, learned a lot. Here I have found new friends, with whom I hope I will maintain friendly relations even after my dismissal from military service. I served in the legendary 25th Special Forces Regiment, military unit 05525, Stavropol.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, I did not manage to visit real combat situations, there were only such insignificant moments that could affect my future life. The most rewarding things I have learned in military life are shooting (Fire training) and TSP (Special tactical training). Many of my readers probably have a question: "Why did you quit before completing his contract?" The first year in the army, I served in a combat company (reinforcement and fire support company), where it was quite pleasant for me to serve, and to hone my combat skills. Also in the battle company, I liked the command, in particular Major Fomin, who was our company commander. Major Fomin, military officer - has many different awards. As a person, I can only say good things and give him the following qualities - commitment, diligence, the ability to understand people, tolerance.
After mountain training, which we passed in the mountain training center "DARYAL" in North Ossetia, our company was disbanded and I had to transfer to a newly formed unit called "OSRS" (Special Radio Communication Unit). From the very beginning of our service, the command was biased, there was a policy of sorting out the good (Russians) and the bad (l.c.n.). All sergeant positions were given to all Russians, and we went as ordinary drivers, which I did not like at all. I had no right to write or talk about it before, but now my hands are free and I can do whatever I think is right. Half a year ago, a team was recruited from the regiment for further service as cadets in higher educational institutions. I approached my commander of the SRS Detachment, with this question they answered me: "Why do all Caucasians want to become officers and not one Russian wants to !?" After such words, I radically changed my attitude towards this person, and he understood it. Further, as in a fairy tale - the further, the worse. They began to announce me disciplinary sanctions, reprimands. There were attempts to reprimand me in front of the formation, which I did not allow them to do. For this they hated me even more! The only person in the SRS detachment about whom I will not say anything bad is our chief of staff, Captain Symonenko.
