Hello. My name is Evgeniy. I am 18 years old. I am one of those who have a very hard time. He began his studies at a military university. Before entering, I did not know that it would be so unbearable for me to receive an education there. Thoughts about suicide began to appear during the 3rd month of training. Only 5 months have passed since admission. It is difficult to study only because I realize that it is not mine. The attitude towards me in the platoon was bad; I was not accepted in this society. Even at the entrance exam I realized that I needed to write a report on expulsion. Parents always talk about material well-being. But for me this is far from the most important thing. I feel like I'm on the edge. I started smoking, which I had never done before. Why torture yourself and your parents by continuing your studies at this university. I still don’t master the program due to the lack of conditions. I contacted a psychologist... He couldn't help me. They told me “be patient, in 4 months it will be easier,” but on the contrary, every day it gets worse and more difficult for me. I don't know, maybe you can help somehow.

Hello, Zhenya! In fact, the first year at university is a lot of stress for everyone (regardless of the university).
Have you tried taking mild sedatives? What kind of psychologist was this? Did you look for it yourself/your parents or was it a university staff psychologist? How many sessions?
Thoughts of suicide due to falling behind in studies and because relationships with classmates are not working out? If you don’t need it, you feel so bad, then why all this? Is it so important to get a diploma from this particular university? At any moment you can write an application for expulsion, return home, confront your parents with this fact, find a job, prepare for the Unified State Exam, pass it over 80 and go to an awesome university where there won’t be this military discipline. Normal universities have military departments - you won't have to join the army. Another thing is that you need to think it over and weigh it so that you don’t regret it later.
Parents can say whatever they want - this is not their life. I'm sure, one way or another, they will have to support you, regardless of your decision.

More patience. Learn to communicate with people, understand the reason why you were not accepted or treated poorly. I also study at a military university only in my 3rd year. I had exactly the same thoughts as you. Get busy with your studies, the conditions are there, it’s just your laziness. Learn sampo, don’t do nonsense, read books on psychology, establish contact with the platoon, this is your family that will accept you, be patient a little longer, don’t give up, take care of yourself, evaluate your behavior, the reason is always in ourselves, I do it myself I recently realized. This is your test, God wants you to learn to live here and now. I am more than sure that you have had communication problems before.
I was also worried at first. But you can’t fall into depression in such an educational institution, get out of it at any cost, and your parents are right. In our country, there are fairy tales about how you need to find your own business, develop in accordance with your inner world, etc. All this doesn’t work. Your university is real good school life, and it’s worth going through if God so
ordered. Don’t even think about dropping out, everything will work out, just communicate more.
For example, I ran on personal time for a year, and it’s very good way get rid of depression and bad thoughts.
Comrade cadet! Put aside depression! Your job is to serve your fatherland. Give your time to studies and sports, and try to communicate more, have more humor and Have a good mood. Work on your behavior and everything will get better, I promise you. Honor Nick Vujicic!
I believe in you!

Hello! Zhen, the psychologist is right about something - when it’s very bad, the simplest thing is to wait - because everything passes. You see, the simple rule is that nothing lasts forever. And if you really don’t like your studies, you can always change them. You can just work for a year. search - where you like. Have pity on your parents and grandparents, and on yourself. Lord, you have your whole life ahead of you! you can do everything. And I’ll give you 2 pieces of advice - first, go to church to see your priest, tell him that you don’t know what to do. Listen to what he has to say, just listen. Read about Matryona of Moscow on the Internet, ask her for help - she said that whoever turns to her will never be left without help. And one more thing - try to post a photo on some dating site - this way you may make new friends and girls. And new friends always bring a lot of interesting things. Please, don’t fill your head with such stupid thoughts.
Elena, age: 42 / 01/11/2015
Eugene,
If it’s really not your thing, then I would leave if I were you. If you liked military affairs, then you could endure a bad attitude and immerse yourself in your studies. I also studied, it’s unclear where and why at one time. I suffered, I spent a lot of time , and for what? I never worked in the specialty that my parents also sent me to, and my diploma from the university (where I entered later) was also not useful. Now at the age of 35 I am receiving a second degree in absentia.
I say all this to say that at your age you wouldn’t mind losing even 2-3 years to make your choice. future profession.
sk, age: 35 / 01/11/2015
Drop out, why suffer for 5 years and then work for the rest of your life where you don’t want to. Really think about what you will do next. You will probably have to go into the army, since you are fit for service, so if military service is so difficult for you, then you can get a commission for medical indications, since depression is obvious here, and they are not subject to conscription with it.
Anton, age: 25 / 01/11/2015
Hello. I sympathize with your story. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll speak out anyway... Maybe I shouldn’t really torture myself at this university, and go where it’s really interesting? Maybe you prefer to be creative? Or write programs? Think about what you would like to do. How many of these young people suffer because they chose an unloved specialty or the wrong institute. Military affairs is wonderful only if there is a calling for it. Try talking to your family. Material well-being is good, but you shouldn’t achieve it through constant hassle. Good luck to you in realizing what you want in life, and strength to overcome all difficulties.
Tabby cat, age: 29 / 01/11/2015
Zhenya, hello! my son studied in the military and I know something about it. We are from the village, we lived very poorly... so for our son this was a chance - not to hunch over pennies all his life, to have a more or less respected profession and salary too. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR HIM... both in his first year and in his 3rd year. but he remembered (and we helped too) how he was playing around in the village and getting NOTHING. he weeded 18 hectares of sunflowers with us, he cleaned the manure after nutria, and we reminded him - how in the heat of 40 degrees. Most of our nutria died, and we howled with grief. we explained to him that he would not have a chance a second time. he knew that we paid a HUGE amount of money for admission. I think yours paid too. our son finished his studies. NO REGRETS. he also had to ADAPT. understand - THIS IS LIFE!!! think, maybe you are wrong somewhere. Yes, and relationships can be improved - if only there was a desire!!! I have a request for you - DO NOT RUSH... it’s probably hard for other guys too, they just hide everything, keep it to themselves. Zhenya, hold out for a year, and we’ll see. HOLD ON!!!
Larisa, age: 50 / 01/11/2015
Dear Evgeniy! Choosing a profession is a serious and very important matter. It is extremely important to make this decision yourself!!! Without looking back at anyone!!!
Try to reason. The truth does not always lie on the surface.
We often look for the easier way, and this plays a cruel joke on us.
Is military affairs really not your thing?! Maybe your preparation is weak? - This is completely fixable! Having trouble adapting? Problems with discipline, self-organization? Is it difficult to constantly be in a team?! There are such difficulties on the path to any profession. With persistence, all of them can be overcome.
My children study far from home. The first two years were continuous conflicts between everyone and everyone. And also boycotts, frame-ups, meanness and even hidden theft. Although everyone seems decent... The teachers did not react to this at all. We were shocked. We reached the director. He said: “Believe me, this is normal. In two or three years they will become one family. For life. It happened to me when I studied here. It’s been like this for the 40 years that I’ve been working here.” He was right. True friends also need to suffer. You can live without conflicts according to the principle “hello, bye, we can’t baptize children together,” but then no one will become truly close.
Do you need to give up everything now and look for something else?! Another place will have its own difficulties, and they will also have to be overcome. Does it make sense to “exchange an awl for soap”?
Answer yourself honestly: “WHY did I come here, what attracted me, what exactly did I expect to get here?”
For a good salary?! - You receive money once a month, but you have to work every day from morning to evening. Money is important (especially if you plan to start a family). But they cannot be the ONLY incentive to get a certain profession. With effort, you can see the benefits for yourself in any endeavor.
Try to evaluate the benefits of learning for yourself personally. I think she's really big.
Without a doubt, life and health are more valuable than any money or success. But before you submit your report for expulsion, you need to decide what you will do afterward. Quit prestigious university, sitting at home or wandering around looking for something unknown (under the general lack of understanding of others) is also a difficult test, believe me!!!
If you have no idea what you want, then it’s better to stay at your university for now and think actively, prepare escape routes. Find where you can transfer or where they are willing to accept you. Or find a job that you could do. Is there any pleasure in looking at the world from the window of your room?!
Elena Ordinary, age: 39 / 01/11/2015
Zhenya, why don’t you want to transfer to another university? Your university is not the only one in the country. try to choose what your heart is drawn to. Then money may appear when you start doing something interesting. And try to quit smoking, why would you depress your health? Look for yourself, be sure to look for what you love! Is it better to take your own life or leave the university and find something you love?
Don't worry, everything will work out with God's help! Pray as best you can, in your own words. If you are baptized, confess and take communion.
Lots of answers here http://azbyka.ru/
God help you!

What entrance tests do you need to pass?
When entering military universities you will have to take the Unified State Exam. Most institutions require specialized mathematics and Russian. Third exam depends on the direction profile.

What to do to enter a military school

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:

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.
The Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is a leading multidisciplinary educational institution of the Russian Armed Forces, a large educational, methodological and scientific center where civilians and civilians can receive higher military and higher military-special education in more than 13 areas.

How to proceed?
Becoming a cadet at the VUMO of the Russian Federation is not easy. First you need to submit documents to the military registration and enlistment office at your place of residence. It will take a lot of time to review them, so it is best to do this six months to a year before admission, usually the deadline is April.
Then you need to be pre-qualified according to the following criteria:
- according to the age;

Only citizens of the Russian Federation are admitted to the university. If you are enrolling in the specialty “Translation and Translation Studies”, you will need access to state secrets. If you are planning to become a military conductor, you must have documented proof that you are proficient in some type of military band instrument.

Benefits are also provided for all categories of persons specified in federal law(orphans, military personnel, etc.).
Disadvantages of the university
The cadets speak well of their home university, but note that the discipline in the barracks and educational buildings is strict, and it is difficult to study, since high demands are placed on the level of knowledge.
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 regulations. 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 being considered admissions committee university, 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.
