At present, there are two forms for college students to join the army and become non-commissioned officers. The first is to enlist in the army for two years and then become a non-commissioned officer. The other is that college graduates directly recruit non-commissioned officers into the army. These two methods are suitable for different people.

The first type: college students directly recruit non-commissioned officers to join the army.

College students who join the army in this way are non-commissioned officers after joining the army, but they can't be over 24 years old under certain conditions. The majors they study in university must meet the needs of changing jobs in the army. The time is basically May-June and August every year. After a period of new training, he began to be awarded the rank of corporal and enjoy the treatment of non-commissioned officers.

Advantages of directly recruiting non-commissioned officers into the army

With the seamless connection between "school gate" and "camp gate", the major of university science can play a role in the army and contribute to national defense and military modernization with knowledge; Skip the conscript stage directly, award the rank of corporal and enjoy the treatment of corporal, with a monthly salary of about 5000~7000 yuan; Don't worry about changing non-commissioned officers, promotion to staff sergeant and fourth-grade master sergeant is preferred; Because the university has studied professional knowledge for four years, the starting point after enlisting is very high, and it is easy to make a difference in the professional field, and there are great opportunities for meritorious service.

The second type: college students become conscripts and then transfer to non-commissioned officers.

If you are a student, you can only be a conscript. Stay in the team after two years, that is, sergeant. If they are undergraduates, they will basically go to military schools. If you fail, you will choose to leave the army. If you are a junior college student, you can stay in the team or choose to take an examination of the NCO school. The NCO school is also a junior college degree.
