The Italian soldier, of any order and rank, is a real angel in uniform. The example of these men, ready to serve the Homeland - to serve us! - at the cost of one's life, it conveys a sense of rare humanity. To keep in mind even in peacetime.
The Italian military, a choice of life
It will seem obvious to say it, but you have to be born with a military vocation. This is an innate passion. An immense love that, at some point, will need to really materialize. A military career, for a young man, is not the easiest path to take. So many obstacles to overcome in order to become an actual; many delicate tasks to carry out. Embarking on a military career does not mean aiming for a permanent job (the fateful dream that many are chasing). Rather, it is a choice that will revolutionize everyday life.
Being an Italian soldier: what does it mean?
To serve one's homeland, with the awareness of the risks involved. Being an Italian soldier also means this: total dedication to the Italian flag, for which so many have shed their blood. The life of a soldier is not monotonous; indeed, it is really active and goes well beyond the typical office hours. And even when you wear the uniform, you are always a soldier; because the stars do not hang from the uniform, but from the heart.
Being an Italian soldier: what values does it educate you in?
A young man who embarks on a military career knows that his character will be forged and he will learn discipline. But not only that: he will be able to understand the true meaning of the concepts of coexistence and team spirit. Because he will share this experience with other young people, destined to become 'brothers'. Other important values are those linked to respect and mutual help. Finding themselves living in other totally different realities, these kids will be able to touch diversity with their hands and, at the same time, respect it. But this also happens between fellow soldiers, precisely because they are young people with different lives and experiences, sharing the same passion. Finally, those who decide to live the military life know that they will be part of a larger project and that they have important objectives for the defense of the homeland and of the Italians themselves.
Missions abroad
Often, young people who decide to take this path are catapulted into missions in unknown areas. And therefore, they find themselves far from the closest loved ones and friends of all time. They are immersed in a completely new and often dangerous reality. Unfortunately, the history, even recent, tells us, of many young people who lost their lives in attacks during the missions. Young heroes that the whole of Italy has cried and continues to cry even today. Boys torn from life but who loved it so much that they brought their help to areas at very high risk.
The competitions
To access the career, it is possible to study in prestigious schools where you receive high-level training; or you can leave as a volunteer. Also, it can be accessed via competitions specific. For success, adequate preparation is required, not only from a physical point of view, but also from an intellectual point of view.
