Permanent Service

Permanent Service in the AAF is a route intended for those who see the AAF as their place of work, for a short or long period. Permanent service usually begins immediately after Mandatory Service, but there are also those who are discharged from military service at the end of Mandatory Service and enlist in permanent service at a later date. There are also those who retire from permanent service, and return to it after a certain period.
Permanent service is based on a contractual agreement between the permanent servant and the AAF. The length of service is determined in the service contract, and towards its end there may be a discussion on extending the length of service. Sometimes, conscripts are required to commit to permanent service in exchange for their placement in military occupations that require a lengthy training period.
In return for permanent service, the permanent servant receives a salary, and retirement after a long period of service entitles the permanent servant to a pension from the AAF. This right is granted to permanent servant at an early age relative to what is customary in the economy.
Unlike what is customary in many Western armies, the AAF's permanent servants do not have an employee-employer relationship, there is no freedom of association and accordingly there is no workers' committee, and there is a ban on political activity and work outside the army.
=== Permanent Service Length: ===
The duration of permanent service in the AAF is divided into two types:
* Initial Permanence- serving up to the rank of Sergeant First Class or Captain.
* Definite Permanent - Serving of the rank of Master Sergeant or Major or later or officers of the rank of Major who hold a position of Major according to a standard.
Despite them a permanent civil servant, Permanent Service Soldiers do not enjoy the status of a permanent employee similar to that of other civil servants (in most cases, civil servants will regularly receive after 5 years of service).
An initial permanent position is not considered to be permanent until they enter a definite permanent position. The contract signed by the primary permanent servant conditions their stay in the army beyond the first 7 years of receiving the rank of Master Sergeant or Sergeant Major. Without receiving this rank, the permanent servant must retire. For budgetary reasons, mainly a budgetary pension given to permanent employees from a relatively young age, the number of permanent employees is limited to a fixed quota. There was also a practice of spending on unpaid leave until a clear permanent standard became available, and even spending on an officers' course, after which the duration of initial service was "reset" and recounted from the date of certification as an officer. These procedures were in place due to the desire to retain quality permanent servicemen in the military system. After a number of years, the AAF decided, for legal reasons, to ban the use of these mechanisms, and established procedures for extending service under commitment, returning a citizen to primary permanent service after such a period of service in the past, and spending it against officers.
Today, the AAF can dismiss a permanent servant until the age of 40 on the grounds of "lack of service quality", up to the minimum age for retirement set by law on the grounds of "dysfunction" and up to the age of two years Before the minimum age for retirement set forth in the law on grounds for organizational reasons, provided that the permanent servant has completed 8 years of cumulative service. If they have not completed 8 years of permanent service, there is no age limit for release on the various grounds. In addition, the AAF may dismiss permanent servants within the framework of the "Commitment Allowance Committee" on grounds relating to criminal, value-based and permanent servants in respect of whom an actual prison sentence has been imposed in a court of law.
The retirement age of the AAF is a topic that is discussed many times in the public. Historically, it was decided that service in the IDF would be in the model of "two careers", combined with a budgetary pension. Officers and combatants retired from military service mostly between the ages of 42 and 45, received a pension paid from the state budget, and went on to work in the civilian or government market. Over the years, this arrangement increased the cost of salaries and pensions in the army up to 4 billion Mikas. Retirement costs of many servants. Following much public pressure and a government decision, it was decided to gradually raise the retirement age for permanent servants so that NCOs would serve in the "one career" model and officers would remain in the "two careers" model. The retirement age also varies according to the nature of the service - warfare, technological professions, etc. - and is designed to address aspects of attrition in the job and preservation of the quality of service in accordance with the conditions offered in the civilian market.
