The first registration is carried out from January 2 to March 31, namely in the year a teenager reaches the age of 17 years. This is the first point in the life of a man in which his military duty is expressed. It is carried out by a special commission created in the administrative education at the place of residence. As for women, their entry in the register occurs after receiving a certain military specialty during the calendar year.

Preparation of the future soldier for service takes place in two periods. First, in the pre-draft age, it is required to get a general education, focus on physical fitness, and determine personal inclinations. Citizens of older years are already familiar with the concept of "military duty" and are entered in the register, their preparation is much more focused.

The military duty of full-time students studying on a state basis (officer training) helps maintain the stockpile of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They have the right to conclude a contract with the Ministry of Defense, according to which they can undergo training at the military department of their educational institution, and in the future they can serve on conscription.
The officer training program provides for 30-day training camps that could be considered military. For the period of these mass events, students are called cadets. Unlike other types of training, such specialties as “Navigation Aviation”, “Navigation Naval Aviation” require a longer collection period - 75 days.
During the training period, cadets pass tests, exams, and after completing the entire program - final exams held in a military unit or university. Students who successfully pass the disciplines are assigned officer ranks, and the former cadets themselves are credited to the reserve. Further appeal of these citizens (as a military duty) is regulated by decrees of the President of the Russian Federation.
