This question worries readers very often. I'll try to be brief. As always, only my emotions. At first, I felt great joy just because I entered there. Getting up at 6 am, exercising, cleaning the area and exercising in the field, eating according to a schedule - none of this caused any difficulties. As you can see, I have already outlined the range of future difficulties.
But as I got involved in the process and compared my life with, say, senior students, I realized that somewhere I was being played.
It all depends on the commanders and bosses
Remember this once and for all your life. Wherever you serve, whoever you work or do, everything is in the hands of superiors and commanders. In our first year we were led by a very cruel company commander. This was the longest and most difficult year of my studies. Everything is new here. You need to combine study and service (who will say that cadets don’t serve - they weren’t there), and also constant pressure from the boss.
And this happened By the way, the most idiotic way to avoid the army is to go to military school! Remember this. There was almost no personal time; for the misconduct of one person, sometimes not very serious, the entire course suffered. Constant additional training in drill training, study of regulations and running. But! I studied at this base for all 5 remaining years. Everything I learned from the regulations was learned in my first year. And the guard unit was enough for me for the entire service.
What are the difficulties?
- Life according to a routine - some people like it, some don’t. You begin to value time every minute.
- A combination of study and service - today you have a laboratory, and you are on guard or on the bedside table, and you will have to take it. 5-10 outfits were released per month. The gap from studying is colossal.
- Cleaning the territory - all the years of training we were assigned an area where leaves, snow and cigarette butts constantly fell. Order was restored by our forces 24 hours 7 days a week all year round, think for yourself.
- Life is within concrete walls - there is a city outside the wall, and you can go there only twice a week (this was the case in the junior years). How can you not go on a self-propelled gun?
- The dining room outfit is a separate disaster. At least according to my feelings. Have you washed for a long time last time thousand and a half plates? And also spoons, forks and food containers. Yes, and sometimes they peeled potatoes until 4 o’clock in the morning.
Basically everything. If anyone can add anything, please write in the comments.

Choosing a military school for admission after school requires not only knowledge, but also an awareness that there are special regulations for collecting documents and undergoing professional selection. Military schools have always been different from other educational institutions. It's not that easy to get there. Admission is accompanied by exams, psychological and physical tests.

What to do to enter a military school
You have made a decision and have no restrictions. First you need to submit an application to the regional military registration and enlistment office. You will be given a form where you write about your desire to study at a military school. Don't forget to indicate which specific school you will be applying to. Each university has its own regulations for admission, but we can highlight General requirements to the documents being prepared.
An applicant to a military school must have:
- A document confirming completion of secondary education.
- Completed application form with questionnaire.
- A copy of your passport, birth certificate and a copy of your military ID.
- Autobiography.
- Characteristics with last place study (work).
- Photos for opening a personal file.
- Documents confirming the availability of benefits.
- Military service card (if available).
If the applicant has any personal achievements, then he must 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 controversial issue of whether to accept you or not.
With a lot of competition, applicants are interested in the availability of benefits. Privileges and benefits are provided:
- orphans and children without guardianship;
- if the child has a gold medal;
- students who have graduated training courses selected university;
- participants in hostilities;
- graduates of other military institutions with basic flight training;
- persons who have completed the first year of a regular university, where the specialized specialty coincides with the specialty of the school.
How to enter a military school if you have no special achievements
You must demonstrate excellent knowledge in the exams and, of course, prove your motivation during the professional selection process, 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 influence the committee’s perception of the applicant. Professional selection for 11th graders is held at local military registration and enlistment offices until May 15. If you are entering 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 of challenge is sent. Already at the school itself, various professional selection interviews are held with applicants, and only after this the candidates are allowed to take the entrance exams. Upon successful completion, the applicant becomes a cadet and enters military life.
Military school is good preparatory stage for the younger generation when studying military affairs. However, college is only a base that provides primary skills and knowledge for entering a university.
Military universities traditionally stand apart from higher education institutions: special conditions admissions, strict discipline and subordination, specific regime...
The vast majority of civilian universities in Russia are subordinate to the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, while military universities are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, which establishes and regulates rules and procedures for them. Additionally, all military universities are divided by branch of the military: universities of the missile forces, ground forces, air force, etc.
If you have decided to enroll in a military university, be prepared for the fact that at all stages of the journey, from submitting documents to receiving the coveted “crust”, you will have to communicate with people in uniform. Therefore, when collecting information about a military university, you should not focus on general civilian rules and guidelines. For example, the rules for admission to military universities practically do not take into account innovations recent years: While most civilian applicants take entrance exams in the form of tests, applicants to military universities take dictations and tests the old fashioned way. The same can be said about the Unified State Exam: being outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, military leaders have the right to consider the Regulations on the Unified State Exam as information for thought, but not as a direct guide to action.
Universities with a broad profile
The range of specialties in which modern military universities provide training is quite extensive. The specialization of a university mainly depends on the profile, or more precisely, on the type of military service to which the educational institution belongs. At the same time, many military universities duplicate civilian areas of training, and more and more often their “range” includes the usual economic and legal specialties. Thus, the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation trains sociologists, lawyers, managers of socio-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 areas. For example, from the walls of the Military Technical University Federal service special construction of the Russian Federation, engineers of hoisting and transport, road, construction machines and equipment, specialists in industrial and civil construction, design highways, airfields, transport tunnels, etc.
Finally, a certain part of military professions lies in a highly specific field of application that has no analogues in civilian life. Let's say, after graduating from the Academy civil protection Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, you can become a specialist in mathematical support for research into weapons, equipment and the use of civil defense forces.
Autograph for the military commissar
To submit documents to a military university, the applicant will have to go to the military registration and enlistment office (at his place of residence).
You must have with you:
- passport;
- a copy of the document on secondary education (secondary students provide a certificate of current academic performance);
- three photographs (without headdress, size 4.5x6 cm);
- characteristics from the place of study or work;
- autobiography.
At the military registration and enlistment office, the applicant writes an application requesting admission to the chosen university. All this must be done before April 20 of this year.
After the initial documents have been submitted, all that remains is to pass a medical examination, and yesterday’s student becomes a candidate to study at a military university. Applications are reviewed by the university admissions committee, and the final decision on admission to the exams (or refusal) is communicated to candidates through the military registration and enlistment office before June 20.
The procedure for submitting documents is somewhat different for those who currently serve in the Armed Forces: in this case, the applicant, before April 1 of the current year, submits a report addressed to his immediate commander, and he, having provided the petition with all the necessary papers, passes it on further up the chain of command. .
Another feature of admission to 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” in army service - up to 24 (age is determined at the time of application).
Fell - did push-ups
Entrance tests to military universities take place from July 1 to July 20, and they are also somewhat different 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 physical fitness test: pull-ups on the bar (11 times - "excellent", 9 - "good", 7 - "satisfactory"), a hundred meters, a 3 km run. And finally, the actual exams in general education subjects. They usually 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 receive a military education, on the other hand, not every civilian with intermediate training able to go through all the “tricks of arms” associated with admission (questionnaire – check of psycho-emotional state – physical training – general education base).
The system of benefits provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation for those entering higher educational institutions also applies to military universities: orphans, medalists, winners of Olympiads, etc. are granted various privileges. Disabled people are excluded from this list for obvious reasons.
I would become a field marshal...
Graduates leave the alma mater with the rank of lieutenant. All newly-minted commanders are expected to be assigned: at least five years after graduating from a military university, yesterday's cadet must devote to the Fatherland. Further fate the graduate will depend both on the type of military service and place of service, as well as on personal qualities and ambitions. It is enough to look at the political and managerial 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, adjunct courses, specialized institutes for advanced training, etc.
Cadet or student?
When all tests are passed, the candidate becomes a cadet. This status corresponds to the status of a student at a civilian university, however, there are more differences between a cadet and a student than similarities. If with the beginning of their student life the most cheerful and carefree time begins for young people, then with the beginning of their studies at a military university this very time ends. Routine, schedule and chain of command 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 placed on a special register - they are enrolled on active duty. military service. For the first two years, they (regardless of the need for government housing) live in barracks and, in addition to training, perform duties traditionally included in the concept of military service. From the third year you can move to a dormitory or live at home.
All types of allowances are issued to the cadet, and he is given uniforms. The holidays last two weeks in winter and a month in summer. In fact, studying at a military university is equivalent to military service.
Sergey Litvinov, graduate of a military university:
The lack of hazing is more than compensated for by strict discipline, exhausting physical activity, and in the first and second years - also with a variety of chores. Be prepared to learn how to hold a jackhammer in your hands, lay asphalt, engage in all types of repairs of premises and furniture, in the fall - harvesting crops in the fields near Moscow, in winter - endlessly clearing roads from snow and many other useful tasks.
You will be taught to shoot, operate military equipment, perform drills and carefully take care of your military uniform. At the same time, you will need to study military regulations and, of course, all specialty disciplines. You will have to study at full strength, often at night, since very serious disciplinary sanctions are imposed for poor performance.
Until recently, such a strict schedule was immutable 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 enroll on a paid basis. (The first experiment on recruiting “paid workers” took place at the Military University of the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2003). Such cadets are spared the need to bear the hardships and hardships of military service: their life differs little from the life of ordinary civilian students.
