The Ministry of Finance, upon submission of a relevant request, informed the Ministry of Defense that it agrees with the promotion of the 254 post-election SYP (scale A7) to archipelagos (scale A8).

Second , the leadership of the formations will be taken over by younger officers with new perceptions and ideas.

In a separate yearbook
In the meantime, the new Regulations recently passed by the Parliament for the non-commissioned officers who face health problems, which are now called “Office NCOs” and have the highest rank of non-commissioned officer B & # 8217; The contracted non-commissioned officers who face health problems are called “Office SYP” and have the highest rank of the rank of non-combatant DG. Based on the new Regulations, a separate yearbook was created for office non-commissioned officers, which includes office non-commissioned officers regardless of branch and body. The same applies to contracted non-commissioned officers.
A non-commissioned officer, as well as a contracted non-commissioned officer, will be able to return to their previous employment status at any time if their health problems are remedied. At the same time, upon their return, their seniority is determined based on the date of acquisition of the degree held and not on the date of declassification that was valid until the adoption of the new Regulations. In case of declassification, the time of administration required for a non-commissioned officer to be judged on the rank held will be both the time of the rank held and the time remaining from the previous ranks, with a maximum of three years in addition to the time of administration for the rank held. For the judgment of contract non-commissioned officers at any rank, the total years of service in the army will be taken into account and not only the years of stay at each rank.
