If you pay attention to the annual conscription, you will find that there are more and more ways to join the army, and different ways to join the army have been formulated for different groups of people. For young people who want to be soldiers, this is obviously very beneficial, because all roads lead to Rome. When we go down one road, we might as well consider other roads.

So, if you go to the army now, what are the ways? Next, let's take a look.

First, conscripts.

This road to joining the army should be the most common one, suitable for young people with low academic qualifications, such as some junior high school or high school graduates. If you are a conscript, there are basically no preferential policies, and you have to go through strict political examination and physical examination. After passing the exam, they will be screened and finally decided to join the army. Take the road of conscripts. As the name implies, you should start with the conscripts when you arrive in the army. The road to military service is very difficult.

Second, college students are soldiers.

A college soldier refers to a college student who didn't graduate to be a soldier. For example, some college students are called college soldiers when they are freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Strictly speaking, college students are conscripts when they go to the army, but they have more advantages than junior and senior high school students, such as giving priority to exams, enrolling students and being a soldier. Of course, it is equally difficult for college students to join the army from conscripts, but they have more development advantages than conscripts with junior and senior high school education, especially in exams, and college students' soldiers have more prospects.

Third, (graduated) college student soldiers.

After graduating from college, I will not take the road of conscripts, but generally take the road of recruiting non-commissioned officers directly. In other words, as long as you are a soldier after graduating from college, you can skip the two-year compulsory stage and go through four months of pre-job training to become a non-commissioned officer. The advantages of college graduates serving as soldiers are obvious, but there are also disadvantages. Because they have not experienced the compulsory stage, their military quality is usually very poor, which may drag the troops back. Of course, if college graduates do well, there are still opportunities for promotion.

Fourth, directional training of non-commissioned officers.

Directed training of non-commissioned officers is actually equivalent to small national defense students. To become a directional training sergeant, you must first take the national college entrance examination, enter the directional training sergeant school, experience 2.5 years of cadet life in the school (wearing military uniforms, but not counting length of military service), and then practice in the army for half a year, so you can become a sergeant. The advantages of directional training of non-commissioned officers are very obvious and professional. They are qualified for some technical posts in the army and will have jobs in the future. Moreover, the 2.5-year non-commissioned officer training in the school will involve the training of many military subjects. It should be said that they have certain military qualities and will not hold the troops back. This is incomparable to directly recruiting non-commissioned officers.

These are the four main ways of being a soldier at present. Personally, if you don't have very poor academic performance, you should not be a conscript, because at present, conscripts with junior and senior high school education can only be a big man in the army unless they have other outstanding skills. As for college students, whether to recruit non-commissioned officers directly or train non-commissioned officers directionally; In the end, whether you are going to be a soldier during school or after graduation, you should combine your actual situation and finally make the choice that suits you best.
