  German Army rank insignia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enlisted personnel is largely made up of conscripts serving their nine months of mandatory service.
A nine-month-soldier usually leaves the Army as Obergefreiter, but he may be promoted Hauptgefreiter der Reserve (private 1st class in reserve) effective the day of his discharge.
Higher enlisted ranks are usually held by soldiers who either voluntarily serve several additional months and those who signed long-term contracts for pursuing officer or NCO careers but failed their training requirements.
