Since ancient times, all the states of the world have tried to have a strong and large army. It is needed to protect their territories and citizens from attacks by other countries. Russia today has one of the largest armies in the world. Annually, conscripts are called up for military service in our country; in addition, many contract soldiers are serving in the Armed Forces .
2015 Spring Call Dates
In Russia there are two appeals: autumn and spring. In order for them to take place, the President of the Russian Federation signs a special law. It indicates the line of recruitment and the number of recruits. The autumn draft of 2015 will be held from October 1 to December 31.
The spring draft begins on April 1 and lasts until July 15. It is planned to call about 150 thousand new recruits from all regions of the country. As of the current year, men from 18 to 27 years of age are considered persons of draft age in the Russian Federation. The term of
military service in the Russian army is 1 year. In short, a fairly long spring call is planned. The conscription period is 3.5 months, and the regional leadership is responsible for the timely replenishment of
military units by recruits.
Innovations
In 2015, there will be several innovations in the adoption of men for military service. The spring draft in the army this year will differ from the previous ones in that men with higher education will have the opportunity to make a choice:
- serve one year of military service;
- serve two years on a contract basis.
Naturally, some will choose the second option, because the monetary allowance is now rather big, the living and dining conditions are also at a decent level. But there is one minus: the contractor should serve where he will be sent, and not just protect the territory of the Russian Federation.
It is equally important that the draft in the spring army (2015) will not affect teachers and doctors. The law applies only to those who, at the time of receipt of the agenda, will work in rural areas and urban-type settlements. All other men of a suitable age will be affected by the spring call. Timing allows the employees of the military registration and enlistment offices to fulfill the plan on time.
Whom the state will take to the service
As mentioned above, the state plans to put under arms 150 thousand men aged 18 to 27 years. Young people who have reached the lower level of age and those who have ended the reprieve will become defenders of their homeland in the spring call. Duration of conscription is quite large, as, indeed, every year. Men will undergo a medical examination, and everyone who has sufficient physical data must undergo urgent service. The selection procedure is not simple, and enormous responsibility lies with the military commissars who directly conduct the selection of draftees. There are times when men have to be brought in by force, because they refuse to go to serve. The police help here. Today, young people are patriotic and want to serve the motherland. With each new call, draft dodgers are getting smaller. If a person is really sick or needs to be deferred, exemption from active military service is guaranteed to him by law.
Right to defer
The beginning of the spring draft led to questions about who has the right to receive a deferment from service in the Russian Armed Forces. This issue needs to be considered from two sides, because some people have the right to only miss one or more calls, while others can even get exemption from the army. Let's consider two options that will be effective at the time when the spring draft (2015) begins, the terms of which are quite long:
Deferral granted:
- citizens with two or more children;
- single fathers;
- fathers with a disabled child under the age of 3 years;
- men whose wife is expecting a baby;
- men temporarily unfit for health reasons;
- students studying in higher education at full-time faculties;
- deputies or candidates for such.
Exemption granted:
- past alternative service ;
- recognized by the medical commission unsuitable for service;
- with a degree;
- under investigation;
- having a criminal record.
How to define deviators and what they "shine"
Many men of draft age began to hide as soon as the spring draft began. Calling periods are quite long, so hiding is not very easy. Today in Russia, one who is considered to be a deviator is:
- did not pass a medical examination;
- simulates a disease;
- cheating on a commission;
- intentionally does not come to the draft board;
- brought fake documents to the draft board.
There are enough of such citizens in our country: some are afraid to go to serve, others simply do not want to, and as soon as the spring call of 2015, which lasts 3.5 months, knocked on the door, these people go to any tricks in order to avoid service. Some flee the country, others hide in villages or distant relatives. Everyone has one goal - to avoid the call. But there is unpleasant news for dodgers: they violate the laws of the Russian Federation, and this is a criminal offense (Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The punishment may be in the form of a fine of up to 200,000 p. or imprisonment up to 2 years. Agree, not a little. As soon as the spring call begins (the terms of the call are long), hiding and deceiving the state will not work for a long time, because sooner or later they will find you, and it will only get worse. July 15, until what the spring call will last, it is already summer. Not everyone can be locked up.
What the army gives to a soldier
Many parents, especially fathers who have passed the Soviet army, believe that in order to become masculine in nature, it is necessary to serve in the Armed Forces. The army makes a man out of a boy, tempers his character, teaches discipline and order. In everyday life, a person with such an experience is easier to adapt to any situation and, accordingly, come out of it as a winner. A huge plus of the army is the opportunity to learn combat craft, hand-to-hand combat and shooting from various types of modern weapons, to receive a military specialty that can be useful in civilian life. On the "citizen" most of this knowledge, in principle, is not needed, but every man should be able to protect his home, family and homeland.
Prospects for contract service
Drafted soldiers also have the opportunity to remain in the army as a contract soldier at the end of military service. Salaries there are not bad, there is the prospect of obtaining free housing. Many of the men who did not even do military service today want to sign a contract with the military department. This is a good job with a stable salary, in addition, you are dressed and put on shoes. Russia is in crisis, the ruble is depreciating, and good earnings are not easy to find.
To summarize all of the above, the law is signed by the President, which means that the spring call to be. It will last as usual for 3.5 months and will affect men aged 18-27 years. Some may receive legal respite, but draft prosecutors will face criminal prosecution. There is only one way out: to serve the due date and, with a sense of accomplishment, go to the reserve.
