Whenever the country is in need, there are so many people who will rush to the front desperately, and the "people's soldiers" are used to call the "loveliest people" from the barracks, but there will always be a day when these soldiers who serve the people will leave the military life they love for some reasons.
At this time, there will be different expressions of "retirement" and "discharge", and the two words with only one word difference may not be exactly the same in meaning, so what is the difference between "retirement" and "discharge"?
The difference between "discharge" and "discharge".
The term "retired" also has a broader meaning, generally referring to non-commissioned officers and officers who have served in the army for a long time and have left the army after completing their duties and tasks, but these people's professional skills and professional experience in the military field can also help them to be competent for a variety of professional needs after leaving.
This kind of departure generally means that soldiers can engage in other occupations after leaving the barracks, and continue to shine in other non-military industries, and for military equipment or weapons, there is also a retirement statement, some military horses, military dogs, in the future no longer perform military tasks, these can be expressed in terms of retirement.
Retired soldiers also mark the end of their military careers, some leave the army because of age or physical injuries, etc., but also because they have lived in the army for a long time, if they cannot be well integrated with social development, the state will also provide some welfare positions or honorary awards according to their contributions and contributions to the country.
For the word "discharge", it is mostly used to describe the conscripts leaving the barracks, and most of these groups of people are young people, who will have a short military life in the army, and some of these young soldiers will choose to quit the army to continue their studies after at least two years of conscription, or go directly into the society to start a career or start a business.
Veterans can take advantage of extra points in their academic or vocational exams, such as young veterans who have not completed their university exams, or skip exams or take easier entrance exams to restart their academic careers and continue to improve their academic qualifications for later use.
And those young veterans who have enough academic qualifications can also enjoy the bonus point policy of the written examination in the career preparation vocational post examination, and have a certain leading advantage in the examination, and it is easier to get a stable job in the establishment, so even if they are discharged from the army, they can still get a good future development.
Military training life is hard, and the daily life of the army also has strict rules and requirements, but in terms of skills and knowledge reserves, it is not less than that of ordinary people who follow the step-by-step process, and even some experience and knowledge may be richer, even if they go out of the army, they are still useful social talents, so what is China's military service system?
China's military service system
Both men and women have been soldiers belonging to the people and the country since they entered the barracks, and in order to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country, they have been comprehensively trained day after day, and they have always obeyed the orders of the state, and they are a group of people worthy of respect and understanding, and since 1927, the military service system has also gone through the stages of volunteering, compulsory soldiers, integration and subjectivity.
The military service system now practiced in China is a military service system that combines volunteers with compulsory soldiers, and the service period of general compulsory soldiers is 2 years, while the service period of volunteer soldiers is generally not more than 30 years, and the age is under 55 years old, and the service soldiers of volunteers are called sergeants.
Between the date of the founding of the Chinese army and 1955, China implemented a volunteer military service system, also known as the conscription system, which was mainly composed of citizens who voluntarily enlisted in the army, and the army needed to sign a service system contract, which required a relatively long-term military service system in the army, which was the most powerful team in the early development of national construction.
Until the beginning of 1955, China also entered the stage of compulsory soldiers, as long as they meet the requirements of Chinese citizens aged 18-22, they must enter the army barracks, strengthen the country's military strength, with a certain degree of compulsion, but after the implementation of the compulsory military system for a long time, it has gradually shown its drawbacks.
Because the term of service is fixed, it is very difficult to quickly train professionals in the ranks who are proficient in complex technology, and with the continuous development of sophisticated modern weapons in various countries, the equipment and use of equipment will also be more technically difficult, and in order to ensure combat strength, it is necessary to have personnel who can stay in the army for a long time and master professional and technical capabilities.
Therefore, after 1978, China also began the system of combining conscripts and volunteers, and the military service law in December 1998 also changed the period of compulsory military service by sea, land and air to 2 years, and abolished the provisions on overdue service in 1984.
The path to promotion for military personnel
Under the current sergeant rank system, from private, private, corporal, sergeant, second sergeant, first sergeant, third sergeant, second sergeant major to first sergeant major, this long road to promotion also takes a long time, and people who can go on firmly for a long time also have a very high dedication.
In the first year of enlistment, recruits belong to the rank of private, and they can not be promoted to senior soldiers until the second year of service, but if they perform well in the army, they may also be promoted to senior soldiers in advance, but this belongs to the stage of compulsory service, if you choose to withdraw from the military sequence at this time, it can be said to be discharged, or it can be said to be retired from active service.
And those who want to continue to study and Xi in the army have some other directions, after the expiration of the compulsory service period, their own wishes plus the needs of the troops, will be approved by the higher departments to select sergeants to continue to serve, that is, they belong to the ranks of the volunteer army, and this selection is also based on what kind of talents the army needs, or the quality and ability of the soldiers themselves.
Some of them have outstanding performance during their service, and they will also be approved in advance for selection as sergeants, and the promotion speed will be faster, and it is possible to enter the ranks of sergeants in the second year, and they can also choose to apply for military schools according to their own academic Xi ability, and it is also a faster way to promote through learning Xi and improving academic ability.
If a person has graduated from high school, technical secondary school, or vocational high school, and when he or she has completed one year of active duty, he or she applies to the army to apply for the military academy examination, and the examination subjects will be different according to the academic qualifications.
For those who perform very well during the service, or who have made significant contributions and meritorious performances, there is also a chance to "be promoted", but such places are generally smaller, one of the promoted cadres is directly promoted to an officer, and the other is to be recommended to be admitted to a military school, and this kind of recommendation by the army, the probability of admission to the military school will be greater.
Those who are selected as non-commissioned officers after compulsory military service will enter the corporal service stage, and the corporal and sergeant are junior non-commissioned officers, with a cycle of about 6 years, and the junior non-commissioned officer insignia is engaged in technical or managerial positions, and after the corporal has completed 3 years of service, he will also be promoted to sergeant by personal will, and he will also serve for 3 years.
Reaching the intermediate sergeant, that is, the second-class sergeant and the first-class sergeant stage, the professional ability of the sergeant will also increase according to the length of service, and the second-class sergeant and the first-class sergeant also need 4 years each, and the service period will reach a total of 8 years, which is a relatively long learning and Xi process, and at the senior sergeant stage, it is possible to realize the family members to accompany the army.
To be able to reach the first, second, and third sergeant majors, this will also reach the stage of senior sergeants, and the soldiers at this stage also have more rich management experience and military professional skills, and the talents who can reach the first sergeant major must be the best in the military industry, and it takes 4 years to be promoted at all levels.
If a person can be promoted to a first-class sergeant major, his military service will be at least 30 years, and he can choose to change careers at the age of nearly 50, or continue to serve until he is 55 years old, which is also the longest retirement time that can stay in the army.
What other professional words are used for military personnel
Although there are some differences between "discharge" and "retirement" in form, they have also made a lot of contributions to the country, and retirement refers to retired soldiers who will generally return to the local area or transfer to the reserve, while retirement will completely leave the army to engage in other industries, but they have existed before and served in the country.
The departure of ordinary soldiers and non-commissioned officers can be called discharge and retirement, so military cadres who hold important positions in the army, after finishing their work in the army, leaving the army, and transferring to local work, are generally said to be cadres who have been transferred to other jobs, and there is also a kind of "demobilization" is also a professional term for soldiers in the early years.
Demobilization is also a term in the past, and now it is rare to mention the term demobilized soldiers, but there are also some places where there is a Xi of retaining and using such a term, in fact, the current demobilization mostly expresses the meaning of leaving the army or changing jobs.
Demobilization means that a soldier will be discharged or terminated from military service after the end of the war, and return to the original place of joining the army to engage in other work or production.
Before demobilization, the military will also be responsible for carrying out ideological education and some vocational skills training for the soldiers who are about to be demobilized, and will also go through the demobilization procedures when they leave the army, and issue demobilization certificates and production subsidies, etc., while the demobilized people will return to their hometowns or areas where they join the army, and the local local government will properly resettle them.
Although the statements are different, demobilization, which is similar to the meaning of discharge and retirement, is to say that soldiers have left the military life, temporarily faded from military status, and have their own new life and career, but the people who have contributed to the country are worthy of the pride and pride of their families and society, and "one person is a soldier and the whole family is glorious" is not just talk.
