“Therefore, the longer a soldier serves, the longer the period of so-called ‘non-inclusion’,” explained the parliamentarian, and gave an example: a soldier who entered military service at the age of 18 and abandoned it at 65 years old. an unaccounted experience of 15 years, which was quite reasonable, would be included in the insurance period.
