At present, our country is embarking on a new stage of development. A huge amount of forces and means is invested in the armed forces. This has led to the fact that currently serving in the army under a contract is not only prestigious, but also profitable. According to the law, both male and female representatives can serve in the military. It is worth noting that in recent years the number of girls who seek to defend their homeland has been steadily growing. Contract military service for women is a great way to earn money. In addition, working in a military unit, you can get invaluable experience that will only positively affect your career.
Conditions for concluding a contract
Female soldiers are not uncommon now. They also on equal terms with men repay a debt to their homeland, holding various positions.
However, in order to get a job in a military unit, it is necessary to conclude a contract. It is signed on certain conditions:
- Only adult girls with a civilian specialty can enter the service. Moreover, the lack of a post will not become an obstacle to work in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
- Contractual military service for women is possible if they graduated from a military higher education institution.
- The immediate job responsibilities include performing tasks for officers, warrant officers, sergeants, and privates.
In addition, there are many other features when taking a girl to serve on a contract. We will consider all the nuances in this article.
Service Restrictions
As you know, women are not drafted into the army. They can get there only on a voluntary basis by signing a contract. According to the law, the first agreement must be concluded for three years. The list of military professions that a woman can apply for is specified in Art. 38 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service".

Of decisive importance is the age of female military personnel (from 18 to 40 years old), their health and physical fitness.
