E.B.S.I.S. O.C.C.'s: Military Personnel

The Soviet Military, like its society as a whole, is very rigid, offering little choice to the individual.  Military service is mandatory for ALL citizens age 18-21.  Non-military service is allowed but the time is extended until one is 23.  Most (90-95%) opt for the shorter of the two.  Once a citizen turns 18, the Soviet citizen goes through a series of tests, academic, physical, and mental.  These tests, along with records of their past (school, political, criminal,etc) are used by a committee made up of the heads of the different branches to choose where the citizen will be placed during their service time.  The more elite branches (Spetznaz, Armor, Space) forces get first choice of selectees followed by the other branches in an ever changing structure based off of current need, political influence and other obscure measures, typical of Soviet Bureaucracy.

E.B.S.I.S. Military Personnel

Outside of the 'Elites', Soviet military training is across the board uniform with the primary differences being in their specific M.O.S. Skills.  The Soviet Soldier is taught what the state needs them to know and little else.
