My son is afraid of being in the military. "Forever in the heart of Beslan." Conversation with the mother of Hero of Russia Dmitry Razumovsky, Valentina Aleksandrovna Razumovskaya. What they won't tell you about the service
Question to a psychologist
My son dreamed of being a military man since childhood. He studied well, went in for sports, and prepared himself for military service. My dream came true - I entered the military academy. My husband and I were not happy with his choice and often told him about the hardships and deprivations of military service. But the rash made its choice. And now, not even a year has passed, he started talking about how everything was not as he thought and that he wanted to leave the Academy. What to do? Should I be persuaded to continue my studies, or should I be given the opportunity to decide my own destiny? There will be difficulties with further admission to a civilian university, I’m afraid that he will not want to study further at all! My husband and I are already over 40, our little daughter is still growing, and we live modestly financially. The son is a pissemist by nature and is more of a consumer than a helper for us in the future.
Hello, Galina!
My son clearly needs support. It’s not easy for him in this situation; a crisis is happening. There are two types of support: moral support - listen carefully, lend a shoulder, give the right to your own opinion, or support with advice: give a specific solution to the problem, a plan of action, tell what to do.
In this case, is he asking you for a specific solution to the problem? And anyway, it doesn't look like he was asking for support. Maybe you shouldn’t impose advice that he didn’t ask for, especially at an age when he wants to be independent and separate from his family (which is normal for his age and speaks of personality maturity). Unsolicited advice usually causes aggression and a desire to do the opposite. But moral support, even if it is unsolicited, is never superfluous. If you listen unobtrusively, discuss, ask clarifying questions and say that you believe that he can handle it, this will help in any way, especially support from his parents. It is very important and gives strength.
You can express your concerns about the future in the form of questions and discuss the future with him. “How do you see your future?”, “How are you going to earn money?”, “We won’t be able to provide for you all the time,” “I’m worried about your future” - something like that, phrases, of course, you can use your own.

Good answer 3 Bad answer 0Hello, Galina! let's look at what's going on:
My son dreamed of being a military man since childhood. He studied well, went in for sports, and prepared himself for military service. My dream came true - I entered the military academy.
the dream is different from reality - he lived and expected from this study what he imagined for himself (of course, you said what could await him, BUT he saw everything through his own prism of perception), when faced with reality - he already realized in practice that the dream differs from reality, that everything he invented for himself is just a fantasy - and now he wants to get away from it.
What to do? Should I be persuaded to continue my studies, or should I be given the opportunity to decide my own destiny?
You noted correctly - this is HIS destiny - so let him make his own decisions. You should discuss with him - what will happen if he leaves? - what’s next: either he enrolls and studies, or goes to work - since he needs to provide for himself and live on something; to the point of separating it from yourself! The fact is that he can run away and hide behind his parents - if he has a roof over his head, food, clothes, the Internet, even if there are quarrels about school and work, but there will be all this - then what is the motivation to study? or work? it simply does NOT exist - his parents provide everything for him anyway! therefore, you need to take a clear position that you will not provide for him - he will have to make his own decisions and take responsibility for his life. You can only be there, support him on his path, BUT do not go instead of him and DO NOT drag him on yourself!
Shenderova Elena Sergeevna, psychologist Moscow
Good answer 2 Bad answer 0So Yuri Arkhipov became a cadet at a military university. He studies at the Krasnodar Higher Military School named after Army General S.M. Shtemenko at the Faculty of Technical Information Security. We contacted Yuri and asked him about his studies.
- Yuri, tell me, why did you decide to become a military man?
- Because this profession (of an officer) allows you to become independent and independent from the very beginning of your journey - from the first year of a military university. And the cadet son is the pride of the parents.
- Why did you choose a military school so far from home - in the Krasnodar region?
- I considered different options, but of all the military schools named after Shtemenko, it seemed to me the most promising.
- Was it difficult to get there? What was required for this?
- For admission, the results of the unified state exam in computer science, mathematics, physics and the Russian language were required. Physical fitness was tested directly at the school, and we also underwent professional selection.
- What disciplines do you study?
- As in any higher educational institution, we study the basic disciplines of higher education, and, naturally, general military disciplines.
- What is the most interesting thing about teaching for you?
- Personally, I am attracted to exact sciences and technical subjects, of which there is a wide variety at our university.
- Do you have any difficulties in studying?
- I didn’t encounter any difficulties at the first session, although there were times when I could devote only a few hours to preparing for the test. Everything will work out if you put in the effort. Here I realized this from my own experience. The main thing is to do everything on time and not put it off until later.
- Yuri, you live thousands of kilometers from home. As military personnel, do you live in barracks?
- In the first year, as in all military institutions, we, cadets, live in a barracks. In my case, after signing the contract, we will move to a hostel, which was put into operation after renovation this year. We have all the conditions - all you need to do is study well and serve conscientiously.
- As a military man, you probably live according to a strict daily routine?
- Yes, everything is strict with us: exercise, washing, breakfast, study, lunch, independent work, informing/sports masses, dinner, watching the news, personal time, sleep. And so every day.
- Tell me, do they pay you a stipend?
- Here we call it monetary allowance. It is paid regularly and on time. These funds are quite enough for me. I am completely independent financially from my parents and other close people.
- How much money does it spend on living expenses per month?
- I spend almost no money, since there is no need for it. Only in our free time or on weekends do we go to the Tea Room and sit in a calm atmosphere with friends. Naturally, I spend a little money on layoffs.
- Yuri, did you develop new hobbies while studying at the university?
- I began to devote more time to studying, but otherwise my hobbies have not changed. In my free time, I usually review materials on disciplines or communicate with my family by phone. I also pay a lot of attention to the regulations, since I wear the most honorable type of daily dress at school - this requires knowledge of a large volume of articles and responsibilities, as well as additional governing documents. That's why I'm always on the job.
- What do you plan to do after graduation?
- After graduating and receiving the officer rank, I am going to leave on assignment and continue my service.

The website Pravoslavie.ru published an interview with Valentina Aleksandrovna Razumovskaya, mother of Hero of Russia Dmitry Razumovsky. Valentina Alexandrovna took part in screenings of documentaries about Beslan and meetings with them, in the organization of which the Trinity Deanery took part in the year. During a meeting in 2014, she also told us about her sons Dmitry and Maxim Razumovsky, special forces soldiers who saved children in Beslan. Dmitry died heroically, Maxim remained alive. The new interview raises issues that we have not discussed.
“You are forever in the very heart of Beslan - the guys who covered the children with your heart.” This is the inscription on the monument to special forces soldiers in Beslan. The terrorists covered themselves with a “human shield” of children and women. The members of the assault group had to sacrifice themselves to save the hostages. As a result of the operation, ten special forces soldiers were killed. This is an interview with Valentina Aleksandrovna Razumovskaya - the mother of the Hero of Russia Dmitry Aleksandrovich Razumovsky - head of the department of Directorate "B". Dmitry died during the operation to free the hostages on September 3, 2004.

About childhood, books and the dream of youth
– Your son has wanted to become a military man since childhood. Where do you think he got such a love for military affairs? And such a desire to be where they shoot, where it’s really hard?
– I think this is such a calling. It was his. Firstly, books about war. We read from childhood. When he could not yet speak, his favorite song was “Where the Motherland Begins.” The adults remembered the war very well and went to lay flowers on May 9 at the monument. Our grandfather died at the front. It was a general patriotic education.
– What books has your son read?
– His favorite book was “The Living and the Dead.” He knew “Vasily Terkin” by heart. Fully. "In August '44." There, in one of the episodes, a pendulum swings. And Dima developed his own technique for dodging bullets. And he applied it in his practice when he worked with subordinates. Tennis balls were thrown at a person from close range, and he had to dodge. This was one of the training sessions.
Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Razumovsky in Beslan. One of the last pictures of Dmitry from newsreels
– After studying at the Moscow Border School, Dmitry went to the most turbulent region of the Soviet Union – Tajikistan.
“He was still calm then.” He had the right to choose. And he said: I’m still young, I’ll go to the border. And then he had a dream to get into Alpha. This has been a dream since my youth. And in order to get there, you had to serve somewhere.
About war, “blooming gardens” and maternal prayer
– Has your family’s life changed in any way after you learned that your son would serve in a “hot spot”?
“My husband and I reacted well to this. There was no military action there then. For a long time we did not know what was really happening there. Dima was very attentive and always reassured us. He said: “Our gardens are blooming here, it’s beautiful here. Don't believe what the newspapers write. I am in a business trip". We didn’t know what “on a business trip” meant. They just thought he was really on a business trip. Just like we go on business trips, civilians. Actually, there are no military people in our family. And we found out by chance. We saw him on TV.
12th border outpost of Sarigora after an unequal battle with militants
– Did you see your son on Central Television?
“My father and I were minding our own business.” The TV worked as a background. I look up and see my son on the screen: overgrown, in camouflage. And he tells how they just came out of encirclement in the mountains and took trophies. And that not a single person was lost. That’s when we realized what kind of business trips these were. We sat with our father and cried...
I look up and see: my son, overgrown, in camouflage, tells how they just got out of encirclement
– According to recollections, during his service in Tajikistan, almost every day your son’s group took part in military clashes, and the absolute “record” for it was six military clashes per day. And a very important detail: during the entire time that your son served in Tajikistan, he did not lose a single subordinate. There is a saying: a mother’s prayer reaches from the bottom of the sea.
“As soon as I found out, I prayed for him all the time. Although she didn’t even know how to be baptized properly, because she was once a Komsomol member. And when I found out that he was fighting there, I felt the need to go to church. I’ll stand in the corner and stand. I'll cry and pray as best I can. My mother was a believer, she always copied the psalm “Alive in Help” for me by hand. And I, remembering my mother, also copied the psalm “Alive in Help” to him. And he wore it... He didn’t offend me, he took it. A handwritten prayer. Yes, I prayed. I think the Lord kept him.
Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Razumovsky
– This is how your coming to faith began.
About heroism and determination
– Your son once said: “Heroism and daring are not the same thing at all. You don't have to be very smart to die. Heroism must be meaningful." From a student at the border school, your son became an officer who, according to the recollections of his colleagues, worked constantly, got up at five in the morning, wrote manuals on hand-to-hand combat... How, in your opinion, are such heroes who are ready to give their lives for other people formed?
They were taught to love their homeland. Do you understand? It was considered honorable to serve in the army back then.
– You know, I think it was the environment that shaped me. He studied at the school named after V.I. Lenin in the city of Ulyanovsk. Then people from all over the world came to this school. She was the only one in our Union. Patriotic education was very well organized there. There were such teachers there! The teachers are simply from God. Writer Lyudmila Anatolyevna Tolstykh. Historian Valentina Mikhailovna Puchkova. They had a very good military commander. They were taught to love their homeland. Do you understand? It was then considered honorable to serve in the army. And they all strived for this. The girls ran to this military task themselves. With great desire and enthusiasm. The school was very good and the teachers were very good. And what films! "State border". Dima first wanted to become a paratrooper. But he strained his back and was told that he wouldn’t be able to join the airborne forces. And he started boxing. Within a year he became a candidate for master of sports in boxing. And then he said: “I’m going to enter the border school.”
Dmitry Razumovsky in the mountains
– To Moscow?
- To Moscow. He didn't get in the first year. Didn't get one point. He always believed that all this talk, like they help someone in exams and there is some kind of injustice, is nonsense. But here he was faced with obvious injustice. The teacher asked how he knew history so well. Dima replied: “I love history, and the teacher was very good.” And they gave him a four - this was the point he was missing. Dima asked: “Why four, if you yourself say that I know history well?” The teacher replied: “Yes, you know the story, but you didn’t answer five.” And when he arrived home, he didn’t talk to anyone for a week. So it was loaded. And then he said: “I will enroll next year.”
– There, to the border school?
- There again, yes.
– And I did...
- And I did.
About sacrifice, family and army
– For all mothers, the time when their sons serve under contract or are sent to “hot spots” is a time of great worry. Did you have any anxiety? How did you overcome them?
“There were concerns, of course. That's why I went to the temple. And she prayed. We didn’t know about many things then, because it was kept silent that there was a war there, military operations were taking place. We even went to see him with our youngest son. When Dima was in Pyanj. And a year later there was no stone left of this Pyanj, everything was bombed. But the newspapers didn’t write about it.
The Lord took him at the most favorable moment for him: when he gave his life for his friends. And it gives me strength
– Valentina Aleksandrovna, the most difficult question. Not everyone like you comes to church and finds such support. Share your experience of coping with loss.
– You know, I think that this is exclusively the help of the Lord! Because, having come to faith, I realized that my son had the opportunity to die unknown: in a car accident, and in the mountains he went alone - he could simply not return from there. But the Lord so decreed that He took him away at the most favorable moment for him. When he gave his life for his friends. And this gives me strength.
Dmitry's widow Erika Razumovskaya, his mother Valentina Alexandrovna and youngest son Alexey
– Dmitry was married. What role did family play in his life?
“He loved his family very much.” Erica was with him in Tajikistan. When hostilities began there, she slept with a pistol and a grenade under her pillow. He was the commander of the air assault group, they secured the entire border. He had to leave home. She never asked him unnecessary questions. When he comes, then he will come: if Dima said so, then he knows. He had a back.
– What could you say to those guys who have yet to join the army?
– Dima’s eldest son Mikhail returned from the army this year. I was in the army for a year. I usually tell guys who are just growing up: it doesn’t matter who you are: military or not. Every person should have a feeling of patriotism. Wherever you work. We didn’t think about this before: it was necessary - and the children joined the army. Without an army there cannot be a strong state. People must serve in the army.
About his brother Maxim Razumovsky
This wounded officer would later be called "Russian Tank" by Western journalists. He will return to school several times with injuries. Beslan, 2004. The soldier has a video camera in his hand. Few people know that he is the brother of Dmitry Razumovsky.
Maxim Razumovsky
– On September 3, 2004, in Beslan, your son commanded an assault group. Already on the approaches to the school, he managed to destroy two terrorists who were shooting fleeing hostages in the back. In that battle, next to him was his brother - your youngest son.
– Maxim served in Dima’s unit.
About children's heroism
Beslan. Portraits of dead children
– 11 years have passed since that tragedy in our country.
“This is not only a tragedy for the country, but, in my opinion, a global tragedy.” This is the first time that so many children have been held hostage. And we communicate with everyone who has lost loved ones. Every September 1st we go to Beslan and spend these days there together. We light the candles.
Cemetery-memorial "City of Angels" in Beslan
I will not give a political assessment to this. But for humanity this is the greatest tragedy. It's simply impossible to forget. When you come to the cemetery in the “City of Angels” in Beslan... So many beautiful eyes look at you from the monuments. Goosebumps run across your skin. Do you understand? Kill so many people... Make children suffer. Children performed such heroic miracles. They sometimes behaved more worthy than adults. In this situation! Such a test... We must not forget about this, and we must make every effort to ensure that this does not happen again.
And these children, what did they suffer for, poor things? And they showed such miracles of courage!..
– Do you know examples of how children behaved in that situation?
- Yes. Do you know what children did when they were told not to drink? They were allowed to go to the source. Water was flowing from the tap pipe. They wet their shirts and hid them in their bosoms as best they could. They brought it into the hall and squeezed it out for people who needed water... One little girl, having forgotten that she had a brother there, had already jumped out of the window, but remembered him and returned to this hell. And I found my brother. They both remained alive. God bless! You see, this is not only a memory of those who died, but also a tribute to the courage of the people who were there. Namely hostages. Because our guys were doing their duty there. And these children, what did they suffer for, poor things? And they showed such miracles of courage!..
– How to prevent such a nightmare from happening again?
- Be vigilant. Again, we need our country to be strong. So that our Orthodox faith is strong. Only with God's help can we overcome this.

Pravoslavie.ru,September 3, 2015
Hello again, dear blog reader friends!
As I wrote earlier, I am a former military man. Former, because this summer he voluntarily resigned from the ranks due to the end of his contract. Now I live in the town of my childhood, where everyone cares about everything, and therefore I am often asked: why did I leave the army, do I regret the years I wasted and do I regret my choice.
Why I left and how sorry I feel for myself, I already wrote. And in this article I want to answer the question about choice. You can also title it: “Where would I have entered 10 years ago if I knew everything that I know now.” It will also partially answer the question: “which military school should I go to?” and can become a good adviser to someone who has decided to become a military man, but does not know which university to choose.
My attitude towards Suvorov schools and cadet corps
If you, and most often your parents, decide to connect their/your lives with the army, your first thoughts will appear at school. And what? This is an ideal option for them. With a clear conscience, they will shift all their responsibility for their children to these pre-university institutions.
Just think: the children will be dressed, shod, fed and put to bed on time and at the expense of the state. Beauty! There are cadet corps that recruit students from the 5th (!) grade. That is, these children spend almost their entire adult life in the army system. Of course, not every city has a Suvorov school or a “cadet school,” but some parents are ready to send their children even far away, pay a bribe for admission, thinking that they made the right choice.
My opinion is this: a child should have a childhood. Sometimes some people are just drawn to adventure and are eager to get out of the house - please. But you shouldn’t push, let alone force, a child to make such a decision.
After all, if in the end his military life does not work out for him, you, the parents, will be to blame. Discipline is certainly good. And government support too. But there is only one life.
Where do I get these beliefs from?
I was not a cadet, I was not a Suvorov officer, but I communicated with them a lot. What struck me most was the 6-year-old cadet. He spent 6 years in the army, no matter what it was, by the time he graduated from school! What else could he have become? Naturally he joined the army.
Therefore, I repeat once again - do not experiment. If you are not the son of a hereditary military man and do not intend to serve your Motherland all your life, do not go to Suvorov, and parents do not push your children there. Perhaps you will take someone else's place. Someone who really needs it.
What they won't tell you about the service
Our wise state calculated everything very correctly. You graduate from college at the age of 22, you need to serve another 5 years. In total, the person is 27 years old and has 9 years and 11 months of service. According to the law, someone who has served for 10 years or more has the right to housing and a minimum pension in a number of cases, such as dismissal for organizational reasons, in case of illness, or for a number of other compelling reasons.
The military man reasons: “Yeah, a little more and I’ll get a “ten”, I’ll sign another contract, and then we’ll see.” And in general, this “ten” in the army is just a fix idea, Rubicon. Although it does not provide any special advantages. The next minimum contract is 3 years.
Total by the end: you are already 30 years old, you have served for 13 years. There are 7 years left until a guaranteed pension and apartment. Plus, you’ve already become lazy, you don’t know how to do anything except the ability to perfectly pretend that you’re working (although when the pressure comes you’re very efficient). So, what is next? Right! After this, a new contract is signed, and this time most likely for 10 years.
And what? I want to serve, most of my term is behind me, why do I have to fill out the paperwork five times? Another 10 years pass, you are 40. 23 years of service, until the age limit of 5 years, after which one hundred percent is in reserve. How lucky! One more contract for a well-deserved retirement. At this time, the children (who have them) are already big, and he himself is relatively young. In my life I have only seen garrisons and training grounds, but everything is there! He didn’t live in vain!
Only now I saw these 45-year-old men! I thought they were under 60. Honestly. Officers are all right, if you don’t abuse them too much. But ordinary contract workers give up their health completely. Even drivers have at least hemorrhoids and intervertebral hernia. Minimum. Obesity, varying degrees of alcoholism and much, much more.
I saw it! With my own eyes. But did anyone tell me about this at the military registration and enlistment office back in school, on January 11, 2003, when I went to enlistment? Do you who have decided to become military know this? This is not a freebie! This is not an eternal parade of white shirts and gold shoulder straps.
During the 5 years of my service, I wore my dress uniform about 5 times! Three times for the parade on May 9, when he was not in uniform, once on the day of the unit and once at the officers’ meeting in honor of the arrival of young recruits. Has anyone told you this?
This part of the article will be of interest to those who have decided to enroll in a military school, but do not know which one. In principle, such a question cannot arise among hereditary army men.
Not a single tanker in his memory would send his son to become a signalman. The children of air defense officers will most likely become air defense officers.
Not a single paratrooper would want to see his son as a medic or logistics officer, and this is understandable.
What should mere mortals do? Is it realistic to get into the ranks and what direction to choose.
It’s all very simple: since you’ve decided to become a military man, are ready to enroll in an army university, have health checks and are not registered with a psychiatrist – go for it. Just take an interest in the civilian specialties that this or that school offers. After all, on the day of graduation you will be given not only an officer’s shoulder straps, but also a certain state-issued document with which you will go through life.
Let me give you a few examples
Naturally, I’ll start with myself. My peaceful profession is an engineer with a specialty in Radio Engineering. It doesn't look like a profession. But just in appearance. Depending on the degree of academic performance, some knowledge settles (or does not settle) in the head. Only now they are preparing you for the army. Serve. Command and obey. Who wants smart subordinates? Is it easier to manage the smart one or the not so smart one?
Hence my observation to you: no one needs your knowledge! In the army, the ability to drink liters of vodka without consequences for the body is valued much higher than engineering knowledge. Yes, you will be asked for knowledge of the material part of the weapon, but these are different matters. That's not it.
So it turns out that a person who has gone through “the difficult path from sperm to lieutenant colonel” (most often this is the ceiling) at the end of his life leaves the army without a single knowledge useful for peaceful life. And where then (at 45-50 years old, full of ambition, yesterday’s big boss?) - right into security. If friends and colleagues who managed (or thought of) leaving earlier don’t pull them into some more decent business.
Radio engineering is a very promising and interesting field, but by civilian standards it is not monetary. It’s difficult to get settled; you need to know a lot.
And you need to have the ability to do this. I have a friend who is now advancing science at the research institute of our university. He is a talent. It's talent. Plus perseverance. He studied better than me, but I’m definitely no dumber. The only big difference is that he liked all these pieces of hardware, but I didn’t really like it. Much less than him. That's all. If you like it, go become an engineer. Then I can recommend the Smolensk Military Academy of Military Air Defense or the Yaroslavl Anti-Aircraft Gun. I don't know exactly what it's called. There they will make you engineers if you want.
But this is my experience. Once I got into the army, after about three months I realized that I was in the wrong place.
Military topographer
From an army point of view, and from a life point of view, today I would go to study in St. Petersburg. For a military topographer. This is truly a real profession. After all, according to their civil diploma, they are surveyors. And in the army, my age-mate came straight to the position of major. I am a senior lieutenant, and he is a major. Simply because I graduated from the right university.
But even if you decide to part with the army, measuring the land with a theodolite is a very profitable and not dusty business. Several of my friends work in the land cadastre. Believe me, they live wonderfully. And that guy himself stayed in the service for less than a year. He quit his job, lives in Krasnodar and has already bought himself an apartment. (And so I would have waited 20 years).
Logistics
The second or even the first coolest profession in the army is logistics. In Volsk there is the Volsk Military School of Logistics. They say it's very difficult to get there, but it's worth it. Do you want to deal with issues of clothing and food property? And if you're lucky, fuel and lubricants? Want to? And who doesn't want to? They have a peaceful profession, something to do with logistics, I don’t know for sure. Because these comrades sit quietly in their positions and are not going anywhere.
Motorists
There are several universities in the army that train motorists. I had the option of enrolling in Ryazanskoe, but due to childish stupidity, I thought it was not cool. Well, either shoot down planes or some motorists... But in vain!
This is a very promising direction. Firstly, having all the categories for the right to drive vehicles is already a profession. You can always get a job as a driver. In the army, these people sit in the automobile service or in auto companies, write out and sign vouchers for cars, write off fuel and lubricants and are quietly silent about their affairs. You will always have a fleet of vehicles at your disposal with free labor in the form of soldiers and the necessary tools. At a minimum, always have a charged battery and a free car wash...
You know... For now this is enough, if this article finds a response from readers, I will definitely add a couple more sensible ideas to the list.
Nevertheless, what has already been written above is quite enough to give reasoned thought about choosing a profession. And choose a military university correctly, without unnecessary emotions, not based on the connections your parents have, not based on your place of residence - in the case of a military school, this is not important at all, but deliberately! With your head.
I still have something to say about the Mozhaisk Academy of East Kazakhstan region, physical education teachers and railway workers, but that will come later.
I look forward to your comments!
To be continued…

Hello, please tell me about KVVAUL how to enroll there. My son is finishing school in 3 years. He studies just above average in physical education. Also, is there a chance of enrolling? He dreams of becoming a pilot since childhood
Hello! Very informative article, thank you! My daughter is 7 years old and we have already clearly decided on our choice of profession. In the Airborne Forces and nowhere else. I am in shock and quiet horror. To be honest... almost everyone in our family on my husband’s side is military... I’ve seen enough... and so... well, okay, we’re going to Airborne Forces school this fall in parallel with general education. In principle, I was mentally prepared for such a turn of events, because my asshole has been attending all kinds of sports and competitions since the age of 3.5. Already 2 medals and certificates. But I wanted to ask if this school gives airborne training to children when they enter a university? This year, 1 girl graduated with a bunch of medals and several jumps, it seems like 10 pieces. They passed the exams, took the oath in the presence of the head of Kalmykia and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and were awarded the blue. berets Is this some kind of step on the way to university or just a valuable gift? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hello everyone who will read this. Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming an officer, but the medical board rejected him twice (as a child, a horse hit his head with a hoof). I served 2 years as a conscript and again submitted a report for admission. It so happened that I, by chance, drove up to the district hospital in the commander’s car. I went through all the doctors, the neurologist again objects. I arrived at a meeting of the Military High Commission and then the chairman of the commission said, like, a young, handsome senior sergeant wants to become an officer, I think we should give him this opportunity. What I mean is that service in the Armed Forces should not be perceived as a business. Otherwise, it will be a burden and, as the author noted, you will get drunk. I graduated from the Higher Engineering Radio Engineering School of Air Defense, 26 years old, lieutenant engineer, two tiny twin children, a major position, a garrison in the forest, subordinate to officers older than me in age and rank, for a “snack” the Finnish border is 10 kilometers away. For the first two years I didn’t take off my field uniform, I only came home to sleep. When the kids saw it, they cried because... mistaken for someone else's guy. Then a long government business trip “over the hill”. Upon return, the border again. He graduated from the academy and returned to the headquarters of the border division. If someone likes it, then you can think about where to go. As a result, 32 years of total service. The pension is such that you can choose an occupation (work) to your liking. I worked for 12 years as a mechanic repairing measuring instruments in the metrology department of the Moscow Region, the salary is meager, with other advantages - you get pleasure from the work and close to home. I worked as an engineer, a boss - I don’t like it. Conclusion. 1. Do not under any circumstances try to enroll in college if you are not ready for anything described above. 2. Be prepared to be injured in the service and to the fact that, after dismissal, the Defense Ministry will forget about you. 3. It is better to choose an educational profile that is easier to find a use for after dismissal.
Hello, Admin! Tell me, my son graduated from ensign school and wants to study further to become an officer. What actions from him: what, where and to whom should I write? He signs a contract this year, they said for 5 years (I mean after ensign school).
I recommend the MTO Academy to all young people. I graduated two years ago, I have very warm memories of my cadet days! Excellent teachers and educational facilities, in addition to basic studies, here you can express yourself in scientific work, in sports competitions, and in creativity.
why enroll in academies that rejected you 2?
my son entered the MBAA in the city of St. Petersburg, although the contract ended, he entered and is happy, you can enter it until you are 27 years old, so I recommend this academy, you won’t find a better one, it’s not known in other academies that they collect money for what
Hello! I have incomplete higher education. I am 22 years old. This fall I want to join the army for compulsory service. And also, in the fall I will turn 23 years old. Can I, after serving for six months, submit an application for admission to a military university? The fact is that next fall in October I will be 24 years old.
Alexander, good evening, very interesting and informative blog. My son is finishing 11th grade this year and his dream is to become a military man, which we have been discouraging him from since 8th grade. But we can't do anything. He is an excellent student, a first-class boxer, and is studying physics and mathematics. Help him choose a military university where he could apply his knowledge in mathematics, computer science, physics and get a good specialty. When we contacted the military registration and enlistment office, we were told that no matter how excellent a student or athlete he was, he wouldn’t be able to get in without money. We so want our children's dreams to come true.
Thank you, very useful site. Please tell me what you would do in our situation. My son's contract ends in March. Now he is 22 years old, (graduated in 2012), he has completed his military service and has a 3-year contract. Participant in hostilities. I don’t mind continuing to serve, but I also don’t want to remain without an education. As I understand, next year is the last year when you can enroll in VVU (born July 27, 1994). Maybe there are already some preparatory courses at VVU? Thank you.
Hello, I am finishing 11th grade. I want to enroll as a motorist at the Chelyabinsk Automotive School. After graduation, what will I work for and where? What are the prospects?
Alexander, good afternoon! The son plans to enter a military university in St. Petersburg. I chose the Academy of Communications and the Mozhaisk Academy. Can you recommend the best place to go? Or some other promising options? Thank you in advance!
Hello, what can you say about the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School, my son graduates from 11th grade in a year and wants to enroll there in the specialty “Use of controlled mining units and operation of radio-electronic engineering weapons” in accordance with Federal State Educational Standard VPO 210602 Special radio engineering systems,” and what can you say about this specialty?
I read the article, thank you very much to the admin for the information. I'm in 11th grade and I'm thinking about where to go. Along with civilian universities, I also took note of military ones. The paragraph with motorists was especially interesting. There doesn’t seem to be such a school in Ryazan, now it’s in Omsk if I’m not mistaken. I'd like to know more about him. After reading the comments above, the question also arose about the demands of the profession in civilian life? I’m from Kazan
Hello, I found your site by accident and am reading it with great interest. My son is a second year student at NVVKU. Reading the articles and comments, I realized that he was going nowhere, but it was too late to change anything, especially since it was his choice (they never thought about a military career for his son).
My question (although you wrote that you know nothing about this educational institution) is whether my son will receive a driver’s license. Thank you!
Hello Alexander, I am currently graduating from the Kursk Railway Technical School as a helper/driver with honors. From the first years I had a desire to enter a military university, I considered the A.F. Mozhaisky Military Space Academy. According to rumors, I have heard a lot about the selection committee, the competition in general. I wanted to know how realistic it is to enroll without connections and money, or do you still need to have a wallet at any university? What's the competition now? What is the fate of graduates (is there any employment)?
Where should you try to enroll in your specialty? I wouldn’t want to go to the St. Petersburg railway station.
After graduation, they will most likely be drafted into the army (19 years old). I would like to join the railway troops, but from a conversation with the military commissar and his hints, I realized that this is problematic. What can I do?
There are a lot of questions, no one can really answer!
Thank you in advance for your answer!
