Assistance in employment is rendered to retired officers and warrant officers as well.
At present, 30 natives of Omsk region serve in the submarine.
"I informed the governor about condition of the submarine and the crew's service, impact of the military reform on submariners' life. We discussed further plans for cooperation. SSBN Omsk is going to pass complete modernization. Governor Polezhayev asked questions about the sub's status and living conditions of the crewmembers", Capt 1 rank Valery Savon told news agency Tvoi Omsk.
