— Preface —
For many people, joining the army is a mysterious and honorable thingThey were curious about everything about the troops.
But interestingly,The vast majority of those who enlist in the military are unlikely to stay in the military for the rest of their livesWhen the appointed time comes, they will leave.
However, they are all "leaving", but the name is different.
Some people are "retired", and some people are "retired".It sounds similar, but in reality the meaning is very different, what the hell is going on?
— What is decommissioning —
"Retirement", as the name suggests, means retirement from active service, which refers to the military personnel in accordance with the conditions and procedures prescribed by lawThe act of ending military status and returning to social life.
In China,The retirement of military personnel from active service can be divided into two main categories, the situation is different for each category.
The first category is the retirement of officers and non-commissioned officers.
These people have obtained the corresponding military rank through layers of assessment, and they need to sign a formal military contract with the state and assume the responsibility of maintaining the highest rank.
As a reward, they can receive monthly income such as military salaries, allowances, subsidies, etcAt the same time, you will also receive some benefits, such as military medical treatment, military insurance, military housing, etc.
These officers and non-commissioned officers need to submit to unified deployment and management, receive training and education from the army, and complete military tasks such as training, patrolling, and combat readiness.
When these officers and non-commissioned officers reach the statutory retirement age, or have 25 years of service, they meet the retirement conditions, you can apply for retirement from active service.
Applications for retirement from active duty need to be submitted for approval in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and the military will review the application for retirement from active service.
After passing the review, the military can be honorably discharged from active service.
After retiring from active service, the military rank earned will not be revoked, but will remain in the personal information file, and the state will also use the rank of the military and the actual length of servicePension payments are made to ensure financial security in retirement.
The second category is more specialThey are military personnel who are physically or otherwise unable to continue their service and are discharged from active duty.
Such military personnel may have been injured during training or on duty, are not physically fit enough to perform front-line work, or may want to change their career plans and leave the military system for personal development.
At this time, the serviceman can submit an application for retirement from active duty to his superiors, and the application needs to detail the specific reasons and circumstances for not being able to continue to serve.
After receiving the application, the military will carefully review itFor servicemen who are truly unable to serve on active duty, they will be agreed to retire from active duty and properly arrange follow-up treatment, reflecting the state's humanistic care for servicemen.
No matter what kind of retirement from active service, it needs to be approved by the relevant state departmentsThis fully reflects the state's unified leadership over the armed forces.
After retiring from active service, servicemen will receive a certain amount of livelihood support, and their military rank and honor will also be retainedto highlight its contribution to the army.
This system cares about the rights and interests of military personnel and enables them to serve with peace of mind.
It is different from the past forced military service, it is more humane and legalized, which not only meets the needs of national defense, but also takes care of the rights of military personnel, showing China's balance and progress in national defense and human rights.
— What is discharge—
Now that you understand what retirement is, what about discharge?
Discharge from the military and retirement are fundamentally differentEspecially when it comes to the people they are targeting, there is a world of difference.
Every year, tens of thousands of 18-year-olds respond to the call of the countryVoluntarily enroll as a conscript, serving in the army for 2 years.
During the past two years, they must abide by the discipline requirements of the army, receive necessary military training and political education, strengthen their physique, and temper their will.
At the end of the two-year period, most young people choose to leave the army on their own initiative, end their military life, return to school to continue their studies, or enter the workforce to start working.
According to national regulations,Conscripts must complete the statutory two-year military service, after which they have the right to choose whether or not to be discharged.
For young people who choose to be discharged from the army, the state will give certain policy preferences, such as adding extra points when taking the postgraduate or public entrance examinationTuition waivers and subsidies from certain colleges and universities have helped them reintegrate into society smoothly and encouraged more young people to fulfill their obligations to enlist in the military.
As a result, many young people regard enlistment in the military as a two-year life experience, and return to school or the workplace with a more resolute attitude after the completion of the service period.
Of course, there are also a small number of young people who gradually adapt to the life of the army and find interest, and are willing to continue to serve in the army.
At this time, they can apply for continued service before the expiration of the term.
If the performance is excellent and of good character, authorization to remain in the army is usually obtainedAs the military seniority increases, these soldiers are gradually promoted to higher ranks.
It is important to emphasize,Conscripts are not allowed to leave the army without permission during their service, otherwise they will be considered "deserters"., with serious consequences.
Early discharge from the military is not allowed unless you are injured in an accident during training or in the performance of duty and are unable to continue your service, will not be considered a deserter.
The consequences of desertion are very serious and will not only be punished by military law"Refusal of military service" will also be marked on the file, which can have a negative impact on future job searches, etc.
The deserter himself and three generations of his immediate family will lose the opportunity to enlistIt is an impossible dream to take the public examination and the examination editor.
So put all the information together,"Discharge" refers to the act of conscripts voluntarily choosing to end their military life and return to society after completing the statutory period of service.
The State respects the right of every young person to make his or her own choiceLet them decide for themselves whether to leave the army or continue to serve in the army after completing their statutory obligations.
No matter which path is chosen, the state will give veterans appropriate policy preferences and life assistance, so that more people can grow into useful materials in society.
— Differences and commonalities between the two —
Looking at the specifics and requirements of discharge and discharge, their differences and similarities are obvious.
Retirement and discharge are words used in different situations, and there are certain differences between the two.
Literally,Discharge from the army means to quit the army, to leave the army.
Retirement, on the other hand, refers to retirement from service and no longer undertaking the duties of laborRetirement is only for military personnel, while retirement can extend to a wider range of areas.
In China, discharge from the army refers to the withdrawal from the army after the expiration of the compulsory period, and the compulsory soldier is conscripted into the army, and can be discharged from active duty after completing the statutory period.
Their information is deleted after they are discharged from the military and is no longer retained in the military systemThe state will not make arrangements for the rest of their lives.
Most of these soldiers are young conscripts who are temporarily transferred to the army and can choose whether to remain in the army after the completion of their service period.
Since they are only serving for a short period of time, the state does not take special care of the living arrangements after dischargeThese former conscripts are free to choose whether to continue their studies or work after they are discharged from the army, and they are no different from other ordinary youths.
Retirement mostly refers to volunteers who voluntarily propose to leave the military for various reasons.
Most of these soldiers have higher ranks, and their information and contributions are retainedAfter retiring, the state will also take care of them and help them change careers.
Most of these soldiers are selected to enter the army through examinations, sign contracts with the army, and become professional soldiersThey have served in the army for many years, with higher ranks and more training and honors.
Because of their dedication to youth and blood, the state will provide certain subsidies and help after their retirementSo that veterans can smoothly achieve a career change and live a peaceful life.
That in a sense,Retirement emphasizes the fulfillment of obligations, while retirement emphasizes dedication.
Although both types of military personnel have contributed to the country, veterans are mostly passive, and retired military personnel are mostly voluntary, and there are differences in the country's feedback to the two.
However, whether they are conscripts or volunteers, they have all made efforts for the security and interests of the country, and have experienced all kinds of hardships in the life of the army, and they all deserve our respect and gratitude.
Back in real life, is there any difference between a discharged and a retired person?
In everyday life, discharge and retirement are often used interchangeablyMany people are also unclear about the meaning of the two words, but this does not prevent us from having a common respect for the two types of soldiers.
They protect our homeland with their youth and blood, and we should treat every soldier with high respect.
Whether they are in voluntary service, or out of voluntary dedication,We must all remember their dedication and respect every soldier who is loyal to our country.
Being a soldier is a kind of feeling, but also a kind of responsibility, in the army, what is cultivated is the quality of perseverance and not afraid of hardship, and what is shaped is the broad-mindedness of patriotism and love for the people.
— Conclusion —
Whether it is discharged from the army or discharged, it is everyone's responsibility and obligation to defend the countryWe must heighten our vigilance, remind our people not to be paralyzed by peacetime, and always be ready to defend our homeland.
There is still a lot of work to be done on how to inherit the spirit of patriotism, enhance the concept of national defense, and ensure that the cause of national defense is carried out in a down-to-earth manner in peacetime.
We must continue to work hard to make national defense a national consensus and make the country more prosperous and powerful.
As the quality education of the new generation of young people becomes higher and higher, and more children are willing to join the military, our country will definitely get better and better.
