Question:
Good afternoon! I’m going to serve under a contract, I served my military service in the NVVKU (Novosibirsk) as an operator of unmanned aerial vehicles, and then I served in the 22nd Guards Obr Special Forces. Now I am waiting for a relationship in Sevastopol with my group commander who went there to serve as a company commander. I have a higher legal education (BUI of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation) with a degree in Lawyer and graduated in absentia from a branch of a Moscow university with a degree in managerial and financial accounting. I know that now there are additional payments for legal education and there is the possibility of obtaining the rank of ensign or officer. How can I implement my civic formations, how to correctly build the beginning of the service and send requests in the form of reports to increase wages and obtaining a military rank in the form of an ensign or officers? There I will hold the position of an operator of unmanned aerial vehicles and will soon go to study in Kolomna to learn new types of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Military - accounting specialty(VUS) is assigned to every active, retired or retired soldier armed forces Russian Federation, as well as other troops, forces, special services and formations . The specialty is always indicated on the military ticket. For example, the record VUS - 212 956 means "parachute stacker of parachute and airborne equipment."
This is what a military ID looks like (Fig. 1)

One of the ways to maintain the combat power of the Armed Forces at the level necessary to ensure the defense capability of the state is to improve the system for recruiting military positions for soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen. What does the analysis of the situation show, what changes are taking place here today?
The development of methodological and organizational bases for determining the similarity of military registration (VUS) and civilian specialties of higher and secondary vocational education is carried out under the leadership of the General Staff. From 2011 to 2013, for this purpose, research was carried out under the code name "Student". And from 2014 to the present, the study "Student-2" is being conducted.
Service Motivation
The relevance of determining the similarity of military registration and civilian specialties of higher and secondary vocational education is due to several circumstances.
“Military service becomes a professional school, increasing the chances of a specialist in the labor market after being transferred to the reserve”
An important feature of conscription for military service in last years became that in the ranks more and more young men with higher education. If ten years ago there were only about 12 percent of them, then in 2014 - already 19.5, and in 2015 - 23. More than 40 percent of those called up are people with a secondary vocational education. Such military personnel adapt faster and can successfully master complex high-tech military specialties in one year.
Of course, the performance will be attractive for this contingent. official duties by related VUS. Military service, requiring the expansion of knowledge, the development of skills and abilities acquired in educational organizations becomes at the same time a school of professional growth. This improves competitiveness in the labor market after retirement. Accounting for the specialty in accordance with the education received, the period of service in the Armed Forces as seniority becomes significant factor that increase the motivation of citizens for military labor.
But it is no less important that such an approach to recruiting military posts allows:
to reduce the forces, means and terms of preparation for the performance of duties in military positions, which is very important for maintaining the combat readiness and combat capability of units;
reach the required level of combat training due to theoretical and practical knowledge acquired before being called up for military service;
to create the preconditions for competent maintenance and trouble-free operation of assigned models of weapons and military equipment.
The passage of military service for such young men will be more successful, they can make up the most prepared part of the mobilization reserve.
As you know, the procedure for conscription service by persons with secondary vocational and higher education (in military specialties related to their civilian ones) is determined by a number of regulatory documents. But the term "related specialties", which is present in these documents, despite its apparent obviousness, practical application causes certain difficulties. And for the recruitment of troops (forces) with personnel, a clear list developed using scientifically based methodology is needed. Moreover, military registration and civilian specialties of higher and secondary vocational education have varying degrees kinship (similarity).
By order of the GOMU, the Scientific and Practical Center of the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, together with research organizations and universities of the Ministry of Defense, summarized domestic and foreign experience.
As a tool for describing military registration and civilian specialties in a single system of codes with the aim of subsequently determining the indicator of their similarity (kinship), a unified scheme for expert professiographic research is proposed.
Interchangeability Documents
The developed technology for determining similarity was used in the development of two regulatory documents.
Firstly, this is the "List of allowable replacements for military specialties and military positions to be replaced by citizens with higher education called up for military service." It includes 209 military and 199 civilian specialties of higher education.
Secondly, the draft "List of allowable replacement for military specialties and military positions to be replaced by citizens with a secondary vocational education called up for military service." It contains 137 military and 82 civilian specialties of secondary vocational education.
The first document was successfully tested and put into effect by the instructions of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.
But there were also some problems. Despite the generally positive feedback on the results of the application of the List of Acceptable Replacement, it must be admitted that the document turned out to be quite voluminous and cumbersome in paper form. This greatly complicates its use in military commissariats when conducting professional selection events, taking into account the lack of time.
Currently, the procedure for selecting similar military and civilian specialties is being automated. By order of the State Medical University, the DIP Research and Production Center developed a prototype software tool integrated into the unified AWS SPO Otbor-V complex. It is planned to conduct its examination with the involvement of specialists from the 27th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and its practical verification.
This year the final normative document- draft Instructions for military commissariats, formations and military units on the application of the "List of allowable replacement" for the military and military positions of soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen to be replaced by citizens with higher and secondary vocational education called up for military service.
The urgency of the problem is due to the interests of both the Armed Forces in terms of their recruitment, and the economic complex of the state. There is an obvious need for a unified system for describing military and civilian professions for the purpose of their subsequent classification, comparison, and definition of similar (related) specialties.
Certain steps in this direction have already been taken. In 2015, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection developed a “Reference book of new and promising professions in demand on the labor market”, including those requiring secondary vocational education. It includes short descriptions 1620 specialties and professions indicating the required levels of training.
For military-professional information, such a reference book with the addition of similar (related) military registration specialties seems to be very useful. Such work can be carried out as an interdepartmental study in the period 2017–2019, and one of the research and production companies is proposed as an experimental site.
