Non-commissioned officers belong to the rank sequence of soldiers, but different from ordinary soldiers, they are the backbone of soldiers and a class between soldiers and officers. Petty officers are more senior than ordinary soldiers. Non-commissioned officers, or "professional soldiers", are higher than soldiers (ordinary soldiers).

In China, non-commissioned officers are generally selected from soldiers who have completed their service, or citizens with professional skills can be directly recruited from outside the military to become non-commissioned officers. Non-commissioned officers in our country are generally formed by signing contracts with the military after two years of service, according to the needs of the army, voluntarily and after organizing assessment. When necessary, they also directly recruit citizens with professional skills from outside the military and sign contracts with the military directly.

treatment of non-commissioned officers

1. After being recruited into the army, non-commissioned officers will enjoy the same treatment as those selected from conscripts. During their active service, they will enjoy basic salary, allowances, pensions, living allowances and other benefits, as well as other benefits such as visiting relatives, insurance, housing and medical care.

Second, non-commissioned officers cannot enjoy the preferential treatment of conscripts.

After the senior noncommissioned officers (level 5 and level 6 noncommissioned officers) are approved by the organization, their families, minor children and children without independent living ability can join the army. Their housing, family placement, children's nursery school and other treatment, the five-level noncommissioned officers are the same as battalion officers with family members, and the six-level noncommissioned officers are the same as regimental officers with family members.

fourth, according to the current policy, non-commissioned officers can apply for military schools after serving in active service, but they must be under 22 years of age (ethnic minorities can be relaxed by one year, and the deadline is January 1 of that year), and their active service time is more than two years but less than three years.

5. There are two kinds of holidays that non-commissioned officers can enjoy, namely, home leave (visiting parents or spouses) and vacation, among which vacation is only enjoyed by senior non-commissioned officers. During the period of visiting relatives, according to the length of service and marital status, the time is 2 to 4 days (excluding travel time), and the first-class noncommissioned officers enjoy two family leave during their service, and those above the second-class noncommissioned officers enjoy one time a year.
