国防部征兵办公室表示，

The non-commissioned officers will be recruited simultaneously with the recruitment of compulsory service personnel this year. This will be running from Aug 1 to Sept 30.

今年直招士官工作将与下半年义务兵征集同步展开，8月1日开始，9月30日结束。

【知识点：士官和义务兵有何区别】

我军现役士兵按兵役性质分为义务兵役制士兵和志愿兵役制士兵。义务兵役制士兵称为义务兵(compulsory serviceman)，志愿兵役制士兵称为士官(non-commissioned officer)。士官属于士兵军衔序列，但不同于义务兵役制士兵，是士兵中的骨干。义务兵实行供给制，发给津贴(allowance)，士官实行工资制(pay plans)和定期增资制度(regular pay rise)。目前部队面向高校毕业生既招收士官，也招收义务兵，这是两个不同兵役性质的士兵系列。(来源：全国征兵网)
