Sailor general rank. Naval ranks of the Russian Navy

Ranks in the Russian army: comparison table+ samples of shoulder straps + 12 interesting facts on the topic + 7 army customs.

Even if at the lessons of military training a mustachioed military instructor forced you to cram ranks in the Russian army, we are sure that nothing has been deposited in your head, except for the unrestrained "rzhach" in the classroom, pigtails of classmates and the first cigarettes smoked around the corner of the school.

It's time to fill this gap in order to distinguish the "real colonel" from the "ensign Shmatko" at a glance.

Ranks in the Russian army? Where are they "distributed"?

In the Russian army, all military ranks are divided into 2 large categories:

ship (those that brave sailors receive);
military (assigned to "land rats").

Category number 1. "Ship": "You are a sailor, I am a sailor ..."

Ship ranks can boast in the Russian army by those who serve in:

Military navy (his submarine and surface forces). Oh, these brave officers in naval uniform - how many girls' hearts they broke!;
military naval units MIA. Yes, yes, there are also marine policemen!

protection (coastal) Border Guard Russian FSB.

No, they do not catch poachers with two buckets of crucian carp, but protect water lines from illegal immigrants and other violators.

Category number 2. "Military": "And I love the military, beautiful, hefty ...".

Meeting a sea captain in a white tunic is a rather difficult task if you do not live somewhere near the gentle sea. But do not despair!

In the Russian army, ranks are also received in:

armed forces;
Ministry of Internal Affairs (district and other police "people");

Ministry of Emergency Situations (brave "Malibu rescuers");

“If you think that the work of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is sheer heroism and a thriller, then I have to disappoint you: sometimes you just have to carry out explanatory work with priests so that the church does not burn with candles, and with them the old parishioners and cats from the trees shoot, and tell grandmothers how to heat the stove in winter and not suffocate from carbon monoxide. But rank, uniform, and social benefits make the job much more bearable.”, - Vadim from Khmelnitsky shares his impressions of the service.

Intelligence Service (foreign) (yeah-ah, those very followers of Stirlitz!);
Federal Security Service;
other military units.

All ranks of the Russian army in one table: dispelling the "darkness of ignorance"

So that you don’t fall asleep on the third line of a simple listing of ranks in the Russian army, we offer you a simple cheat sheet (military and ship ranks placed on the same line correspond to each other):

	Ranks in the Russian army:
Type	Military	ship
Non-officer	private, corporal, Lance Sergeant, sergeant, staff Sergeant, foreman, ensign, Senior Warrant Officer	sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief sergeant, chief ship sergeant, midshipman, senior midshipman
junior officers	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant commander

As can be seen from the table, there are one more military ranks! But what!

Top 12 interesting facts about ranks in the Russian army

The only one who can command the Marshal of the Russian Federation (even give him the command “Take prone emphasis!”) Is Supreme Commander He is the President Russian Federation. Moreover, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is a position, not a rank in the Russian troops.
The current President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin left the FSB with the rank of colonel, but now the position allows him to "build" the holders of the highest military ranks.
The Minister of Defense commands both the sailors and the ground forces. Therefore, higher than the admiral of the fleet, the rank in the Military naval forces ah no.
Do not try to express your respect for the brave warriors by diligently writing out their ranks in the Russian armed forces with capital letter. The fact is that all these words (from a sailor to a marshal) are written with a small letter;
If you are fortunate enough to serve in guards units, then the word “guard” is added to the rank, for example, “guard colonel”. Agree, it sounds!
Even if you retired or reserve and quietly grow cucumbers in the country, your title is assigned to you with the prefix “in reserve” or “retired”.
“The colonel, even if he is retired or in reserve, will still embarrass the traffic cop sergeant who stopped him for violating the rules traffic. The poor guy scolds, scolds and lets go without a fine. So the title works for you!”- with a laugh says the military pensioner Alexander from Kharkov.
To the ranks of military doctors and lawyers they add “justice” (for example, “captain of justice”) or “ medical service" (for example, "colonel of the medical service").
This, of course, is not George Clooney from ER, but it also sounds great!
Those who entered a military university, but so far only in sweet dreams see their high ranks in the Russian troops, are called cadets, but those who have already managed to “sniff gunpowder” (has a military rank) are called listeners.
For a whole year of service (urgent), the maximum that “shines” for you in the Russian army is the rank of sergeant.
Since 2012, the ranks of chief ship foreman and foreman have not been assigned (they are simply “jumped”), but they remained on pieces of paper. Such is the "wonderland"!
Although the rank of major is higher than that of a lieutenant, by some strange, inexplicable logic, a lieutenant general in the Russian Federation is higher in rank than a major general.

In the Russian army, the next rank is awarded for personal merit and length of service. If about your bright moral character, high level"combat and political training" to judge your commanders, then how much you need to "chip" from rank to rank, we will orient you:

No. p / p	Rank in the Russian army	length of service
1	Private, sailor	5 months
2	Junior sergeant, foreman of the second article	1 year
3	Sergeant, foreman of the first article	2 years
4	Senior sergeant, chief foreman	3 years
5	Ensign, midshipman	3 years
6	Ensign	2 years
7	Lieutenant	3 years
8	Senior Lieutenant	3 years
9	Captain, Lieutenant Commander	4 years
10	Major, captain 3rd rank	4 years
11	Lieutenant Colonel, Captain 2nd Rank	5 years

Then, in order to get another "asterisk" on shoulder straps, you will have to serve 5 years. Necessary condition it is also the presence of a position suitable for your new rank:

Rank	Position
Private	All newly drafted into the army, all lower positions (gunner, driver, gun crew number, driver, sapper, scout, radio operator, etc.)

They do not live by the same ranks in the Russian army! 7 interesting military signs and customs

Ranks in the Russian army are, of course, a burning topic, but we want to talk about interesting traditions, signs and customs in the army:

about the "washing" of the new rank with the ritual dipping of the "stars" in a glass of vodka and sabanting with colleagues, only the lazy one has not heard.
In carrying out this important, almost magic ritual there is a whole manual https://www.antik-war.lv/viewtopic.php?p=2140415
the paratrooper is unlikely to take someone else's parachute.
We suspect that this sign arose due to the fact that no matter how much you love brother Seryoga, who sleeps with you in the barracks on the next bed, you can’t be sure that he will prepare the parachute as carefully as you;
“Let me still feel with bones every unsuccessful jump and grunt at bad weather, but the landing is what made me a real man. And it’s not about shoulder straps, benefits and a normal pension, but that it was there that I learned to do something through “I can’t”, learned what real male friendship is and traveled all over the world thanks to the service. I had a chic, rich youth without a mobile phone, the Internet and pretentious coffee houses., - Vladimir from Penza shares his memories.
one match cannot light three or more fighters.
Experienced say that during this time the sniper will have plenty of time to open aimed fire;
submariners do not shave during combat missions.
Well, what, you won’t find young ladies on a submarine during the day with fire, so there’s no one to show off in front of;
submariners do not favor the number 9, since many accidents happened with boats, in the number of which this very “nine” was (K-9, K-129, K-159, etc.);
bathing paratroopers on the day of the Airborne Forces in the fountains- this is from the series "Understand and forgive";

paratroopers make their first "jumps" from a stool, holding a box of matches between their knees.

Of course, you need to land softly, and the matches should not fall to the floor;

graduates of military universities after the official part High school prom hide several bills under each shoulder strap.

In order to know exactly how, according to the charter, it is necessary to address a soldier, it is necessary to understand the ranks. Ranks in the Russian army and shoulder straps provide clarity in relationships and allow you to understand the chain of command. The Russian Federation has both a horizontal structure - military and ship ranks, and a vertical hierarchy - from privates to senior officers.

Enlisted personnel

Private is the lowest military rank Russian army. Moreover, the soldiers received this title in 1946, before that they were treated exclusively as fighters, or as Red Army soldiers.

If the service is carried out in the guards military unit or on the guards ship, then when referring to the private, it is worth adding the same word "guards". If you want to apply to a military man who is in the reserve and has a diploma of higher legal, or medical education then you should contact - "ordinary justice", or "ordinary medical service". Accordingly, to those who are in the reserve or retired, it is worth adding the appropriate words.

AT ship's composition, corresponds to the rank of private sailor.

Only the older soldiers who carry the best military service, receive the title corporal. Such soldiers can act as commanders during their absence.

All additional words that were applicable for the private remain relevant for the corporal. Only in the Navy, this rank corresponds to Senior sailor.

The one who commands a squad, or a combat vehicle, receives the title Lance Sergeant. In some cases, this title is awarded to the most disciplined corporals upon transfer to the reserve, if such a staff unit was not provided during the service. In the ship's composition is "foreman of the second article"

Since November 1940 in Soviet army rank for junior commanders – sergeant. It is awarded to cadets who have successfully completed the sergeant training program and graduated with honors.
Also, an ordinary can receive a title - Lance Sergeant, who proved himself worthy of appropriation next rank or upon retirement.

In the Navy, sergeant ground forces corresponds to the rank foreman.

The next is Senior Sergeant, and in the Navy - chief foreman.

After this rank, there are some crossings of land and sea forces. Because after the senior sergeant, in the ranks of the Russian army appears foreman. This title came into use in 1935. It is deserved only by the best military personnel who served excellently in sergeant positions for six months, or when they are transferred to the reserve, the rank of foreman is awarded to senior sergeants certified with excellent marks. On the ship it is chief ship sergeant major.

Next come ensigns and midshipmen. This is a special category of military personnel, close to junior officers. Complete the ranks senior warrant officer and midshipman.

junior officers

A number of ranks of junior officers of the Russian army begin with the rank Ensign. This title is awarded to students of the last courses and graduates of higher military educational institutions. However, in case of a shortage of officers, the rank of junior lieutenant can also be obtained by a graduate of a civilian university.

lieutenant only a junior lieutenant who has served a certain amount of time and received a positive education document can become. Further - senior lieutenant.

And closes the group of junior officers - Captain. This title sounds the same for both land and naval forces.

By the way, the new field uniform from Yudashkin obliged our servicemen to duplicate the insignia on their chests. There is an opinion that the "undersized" from the leadership do not see the ranks of our officers on their shoulders and this is done for their convenience.

Senior officers

Senior officers begin with rank Major. In the Navy, this rank corresponds to Captain 3rd rank. Next ranks The Navy will only raise the rank of captain, that is, the rank of land lieutenant colonel will match Captain 2nd rank, but the title Colonel – Captain 1st rank.

Senior officer corps

And the highest officer corps completes the hierarchy of military ranks in the Russian army.

Major General or rear admiral(in the navy) - such a proud title is worn by military personnel who command a division - up to 10 thousand people.

Above the Major General is Lieutenant General. (The lieutenant general is higher than the major general because the lieutenant general has two stars on shoulder straps and the major general has one).

Initially, in the Soviet army, it was rather not a rank, but a position, because the Lieutenant General was an assistant to the general and took on some of his functions, unlike Colonel General who can personally hold senior positions, as in General Staff as well as in the Ministry of Defense. In addition, in the armed forces of Russia, a colonel-general may be the deputy commander of a military district.

And, finally, the most important soldier who has the highest military rank in the Russian army is Army General. All previous links are obliged to obey him.

Shipborne ranks in the navy are used in the Russian Navy and are assigned to sailors as far as they are able to take responsibility for the command of one or another military personnel. They are also assigned to the military coast guard border troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, underwater and surface units of the Navy and marine parts troops.

Almost all naval ranks are different from the missile and ground forces, the airborne forces and the armed forces. From 1884 to 1991, they changed due to a number of events:

decay Russian Empire in 1917;
creation Soviet Union and its subsequent collapse 1922-1991;
creation of the Russian Federation in 1991

Modern ranks in the navy divided into 4 categories:

1. Conscripts for urgent and contract service. This includes: a sailor, a senior sailor, a foreman of the second article, a foreman of the first article and a chief ship foreman. The senior midshipman and the senior midshipman are also included in the senior staff.

2. Junior officers of the fleet. These are: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant and lieutenant commander.

3. Senior officers of the Navy. Ranks are divided: captains of the third, second and first rank.

4. The highest officers. Consists of: Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral and Admiral of the Fleet.

Detailed description of ship ranks in ascending order

Sailor- junior rank in the navy, which corresponds to the land private. These are conscripts.

Senior sailor- a parallel to the army rank of corporal, which is assigned to a sailor for observing discipline and exemplary performance of duties. May be an assistant to the foreman and replace the foreman of the second article.

Senior staff

Sergeant major of the second article- junior rank in the senior staff, which was introduced on November 2, 1940. It is located in rank above the senior sailor and below the foreman of the first article. May be a squad leader.

Petty officer of the first article- a sailor of the fleet, who is located in rank above the foreman of the second article, but below the chief foreman.
