The Military Service Law and the Regulations on Resettlement of Retired Soldiers clearly stipulate that only those who have served for 12 years or more can be resettled. It's not that the third-term noncommissioned officers can change jobs. There are preferential policies for college students to transfer to non-commissioned officers. It is not necessary to meet the conditions of the third period of non-commissioned officers for more than 8 years. Therefore, whether to change jobs depends on whether you have served 12 years, not the third period of non-commissioned officers.
