THE ARMED FORCES – FROM THE INSTITUTION TO PROFESSION –

Summary/Abstract: The author writes about the trust the population puts in the military institution, a feeling that can be materialised through the participation in collective defence and humanitarian missions, in support of citizens and local authorities, in crisis situations, through the professionalism of actions, the demonstration of the essential military virtues and the structures modern and effective equipment. In this respect, the author outlines an analysis of the motivation of the youth especially for the military profession, taking into account a few general aspects: opportunities to develop, improve and train in Euro-Atlantic institutions and to operate in a multinational environment; becoming specialised in fields that can be found also in the spectrum of civil professions and that provide subsequent professional development; gaining managerial, administrative and diplomatic experience, especially during international missions; rapidly becoming socially mature, through becoming more responsible, by means of firm and risk discipline, in which hesitation, lack of concentration or even minor mistakes can have dramatic repercussions.
