How do military service get priority in civil service exams?

Recently, Nguoi Dua Tin has received a number of questions from readers regarding military service. Among them, there is a question about the issue of adding priority points in civil service exams after completing military service.

In what cases is military service considered completed?

Article 21 of the 2015 Law on Military Service clearly states that the term of service in peacetime for non-commissioned officers and soldiers is 24 months. This period is calculated according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 22 of the 2015 Law on Military Service as follows:

- Calculated from the date of military transfer.

- In case of not handing over or receiving concentrated troops, the calculation is from the date the Army unit receives them until the competent authority decides to discharge them.

Accordingly, in Article 43 of the Law on Military Service, the conditions for discharge include:

- Non-commissioned officers and soldiers whose term of active service has expired;

- Discharged from the military before the term ends when the Military Medical Examination Council concludes that the person is not healthy enough to continue serving in the military;

- Being the only worker who must directly support relatives who are unable to work or have not reached working age; in a family that has suffered serious damage to people and property due to accidents, natural disasters, or dangerous epidemics (with confirmation from the People's Committee);

- A child of a war invalid or a person infected with Agent Orange whose working capacity is reduced by 61% - 80%;

- Children of martyrs, children of first-class disabled soldiers;

- A brother or a younger brother of a martyr;

- One child of a second-class disabled veteran; one child of a sick soldier, one child of a person infected with Agent Orange with a working capacity reduction of 81% or more.

Thus, if falling into one of the seven cases mentioned above, citizens participating in military service will be discharged, equivalent to having completed military service.
