Training

About a year and two months: combat tironut 05 (for men, at an infantry brigade's training base; for women, at the Home Front Command's training base), then a combat phase completing rifleman level 07 with many weeks in the field.

Where you serve

At a closed base in central Israel or in a changing operational environment.

What it is worth afterwards

Practical experience in mechatronics, robotics and computers.
