In the professional environment of the military lyceum, the role of socially conditioned characteristics and conditions of activity of both faculty that includes officers of the Armed Forces, and pupils (lyceum students) is significantly increasing. It follows that mastering the profession of an officer of the Armed Forces is not only the ability to effectively perform duties, but also the adoption of the appropriate lifestyle, way of thinking, system of norms and values by a future officer.
