Dienstantritt!

Unofficial info app – not affiliated with the Bundeswehr or the BMVg.

Signed up and not sure what to expect from day one? Dienstantritt gives you
honest answers — no red tape, no recruitment spin, no empty promises.

WHAT THE APP GIVES YOU

Arrival & first days
What happens on reporting day, what to bring, what applies on base.
Basic training
Daily routine, duties, rights, drill — what's ahead of you and how the first
weeks really go.

Look up ranks
Who's who? Every rank with its insignia, form of address and order of
precedence — plus the pay for each rank and experience level, side by side.

Pay & earnings
What you earn as voluntary military personnel or a temporary soldier, when the
money arrives, what allowances are — with source and date. Figures not yet in
force are clearly marked "projected" and without guarantee.

Glossary, abbreviations & slang
AGA, BFT, FWDL, SaZ, Sold — the abbreviation lexicon explains every term. The
slang section shows you what comrades really mean.

FAQ – real beginner questions
Can I bring my phone? What if I get sick? How does the swearing-in work? Clear
answers, no dodging.

Packing checklist
What you actually need to pack — tickable, saved, and it survives an app
update.

WHY DIENSTANTRITT IS DIFFERENT

Offline-first. The app works completely without a connection.
Full-text search. Type a term like "BFT" or "Sold" and jump straight to the
right section — offline, too.
Honest over flashy. We only publish content we've checked — each with a source
and date.
Report an error. Tap the paragraph and send us a quick note — anonymous, in
seconds.
Always current – no store update. If a figure or rule changes, the new content
lands straight in the app.
Bookmarks & progress. Everything stays local on your device, no account.
