Length of military service is counted from the year when he was approved to join the army, and every time he was approved to join the army in that year, it will be counted as one year, and then it will be increased by one year every year 1 month 1 day, until the year when the order of changing jobs, demobilization, and retirement is issued.

Length of military service does not refer to a soldier's age when he joined the army or his present age, but refers to the total number of years from the year he joined the army to this year. In China, officers and men of the China People's Liberation Army and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force all have length of military service. One year later, length of military service will increase by one year.

In recent years, the state, the army and governments at all levels in our province have issued a series of policies to encourage college students to join the army. College students will enjoy a series of preferential policies such as priority registration, priority medical examination and political examination, and priority approval of soldiers.

Give priority to selection and use. Participate in the national unified entrance examination for ordinary colleges and universities, obtain full-time undergraduate education and bachelor's degree, perform well in reality after enlisting, be under the age of 26, join the army for more than one and a half years and work in the recommended brigade (regiment) unit for more than half a year, and be promoted to cadres according to procedures.

Graduates with full-time college education can take the undergraduate entrance examination organized by the whole army and enter the relevant military training in military academies.

Tuition fee remission. For college students who have been enlisted for compulsory military service, the tuition fees paid during their school days shall be compensated in a lump sum according to the standard of 8,000 yuan per undergraduate and junior college students and 0/2,000 yuan per graduate student.

For students enrolled in institutions of higher learning before compulsory military service (including freshmen enrolled in institutions of higher learning according to the national enrollment regulations), who retain their school status or admission qualifications according to the relevant provisions of the state during their service, and voluntarily return to school or enroll after retirement, the state implements tuition fee reduction and exemption.

Preferential treatment for entrance examination. Fresh graduates take the national postgraduate entrance examination within 3 years after being drafted into the army for compulsory military service, with a total score of 10, and priority is given to admission under the same conditions;

Students in ordinary colleges and universities (including freshmen in colleges and universities) can be enlisted for compulsory military service and retired, and they can enjoy the same preferential treatment if they take the national postgraduate entrance examination within 3 years after completing their undergraduate studies. College graduates, students (including freshmen) who have won second-class merit and above in the army, who meet the requirements for postgraduate registration, can study for a master's degree without examination (referring to preliminary examination).

Set up a special postgraduate enrollment plan for "retired university student soldiers", which is specially used for the enrollment of retired university student soldiers. This special plan is issued separately in the national postgraduate enrollment scale. Retired college soldiers are promoted to undergraduate courses, and the enrollment plan is listed separately.

Employment placement support. About 20% of the pilot recruitment and training plan for the reform of the recruitment and training system for political and legal police officers is used to recruit retired soldiers from college students. Retired college student soldiers enjoy the same treatment as college students who have served in grassroots service projects such as "three supports and one support", "one village and one school" and "western volunteer service plan";

All localities will incorporate retired college students into the system of selecting and appointing cadres of local party committees and governments, giving priority to training, and grassroots full-time armed cadres will focus on recruiting retired college students; Retired college student soldiers enjoy the bonus point policy when applying for institutions in our province.

When recruiting new employees, state-owned and state-controlled enterprises with state-owned capital should take out 10% positions and select the best among retired university graduates (including those who have resumed their studies after retirement).

Awarded a reward for enlistment. According to the regulations, college students who joined the army from Sichuan are given a one-time bonus according to the standard of 6,000 yuan for graduate students, 5,000 yuan for students, 5,000 yuan for undergraduates, 4,000 yuan for students (including freshmen), 4,000 yuan for university graduates and 3,000 yuan for students (including freshmen), and this standard has been raised in various places to varying degrees.
