Diseases unsuitable for military service. The most detailed list of diseases exempting from the army

April starts spring conscription into the army of young guys, whom the medical commission of the military registration and enlistment office recognized as fit to serve in the ranks of the armed forces. Seniors who served in Soviet time, are sure that service in the army makes a real man out of a young man, but the modern army and the media have formed the opposite point of view, according to which the army makes a disabled person out of a teenager and can even cause his death. So most of young people today are looking for ways not to fall into the ranks of conscripts.

The most popular way mow down"from the army - this is the presence of a disease with which it is not supposed to be drafted into the army. But you need to prove the presence of health problems through a medical examination, where you must provide all the certificates and medical history, which makes it possible not to be among the recruits. Medical commission during a medical examination determines the recruit's eligibility category for service.

Assignment of category A to the conscript testifies that he is fit to serve in any part of the armed forces, including the navy and the landing force. With category B, they will also be drafted into the army, but the conscript will have restrictions when choosing a place of service. Category B gives exemption from military service, with it the conscript is enrolled only in the reserve. A "white" military ID is received and recognized as unsuitable for conscription with category D, no re-medical examination after the assignment of this category is no longer required.

Through 6 months The military registration and enlistment office sends a second summons to conscripts with category G, which means that a person is temporarily unfit for military service, but will be called up after recovery. Usually, after a conclusion is made on temporary unfitness for military service, a deferral from the army is given for no more than 1 year, after which the guy undergoes a re-examination and can be drafted into the army if the commission recognizes him as healthy.

For example, if u conscript body mass index less than 19, then he is given a deferment from the army for 6 months due to underweight. In this case, the conscript undergoes a monthly medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, if during the observation period he has a positive trend in weight gain, then he is considered fit for service.

Most common diseases with which they are not taken into the army are the following:
1. Scoliosis II degree and above. Fixed curvature of the spine with an angle of at least 11 degrees, accompanied by loss of sensation and tendon reflex.
2. Flat feet III degree. "Bear foot" or severely flat feet that cannot be accommodated by wearing standard military style shoes.

The health of today's youth is far from an ideal indicator of our nation ... Therefore, it is worth being aware of the reasons due to which they may not be hired.

Among those who are ready to pay their debt to the Motherland, there are those whom, even with their strong desire, the call will not touch: the reason for this will be precisely the state of health.

Those who want to serve are always in abundance

In order to confirm any of the diseases described below, a military medical commission is held and conclusions are drawn based on its results. In addition, you will need a certificate from the hospital and a medical history that serves as its confirmation.

Having studied all the documentation, the military commissariat concludes whether a person is fit for service, whether he can serve with a number of restrictions or cannot serve at all.

Category "A" - guys, fully prepared for service, moreover - in any type of troops.
Category "B" - a choice is given where to serve, as they were identified minor violations in terms of health.
Category "B" - exempts from military service, enrollment in the reserve.
Category "G" - service is possible only after passing the treatment course. The summons comes back after 6 months. Average term delay is about a year. If, after a second examination, the conscript is completely healthy, he is accepted into the army.
Category "D" - "white military ID": complete unsuitability for (passing through the military medical commission is not required).

Delays are often granted to people who are found to be underweight. At the same time, a person undertakes to report monthly to the military registration and enlistment office in order to be able to control the dynamics of changes in body weight. When this figure reaches the norm, the young man leaves for the army.

Illnesses due to which a deferral or exemption from service is given

There are many diseases that do not allow you to serve in the army.

There aren't many people who are released from the army for a reason. various diseases. It all depends on the degree and form of the disease. The most common reasons why a person is exempted from military service:

Scoliosis of the second degree. In this stage, there is a curvature of the shape of the spine. The degree of curvature is at least eleven degrees. Along with this, there should be no sensitivity and reflexes in the tendons.
Flat feet, third degree. Popularly, this disease is called "bear foot". With such a disease, it becomes almost impossible to move in army shoes, since it has a standard pattern.
Joint disease. This refers to arthrosis of 2-3 degrees, which affected the joints of both legs.
Blindness or vision problems. Those people who have been found to be completely or partially blind (in one eye) are not accepted into the army. Also, conscripts who suffer from nearsightedness and have detached retinas or glaucoma do not enter the army. Also not suitable are people who have experienced significant eye injuries.
Hypertension. If the examination reveals a pressure of 150 over 95 when a person is in calm state, this means that the blood pressure is elevated and he is not allowed to serve.
Disorders auditory organs. If, during the examination at the military registration and enlistment office, it was found that the conscript did not hear what was said in a whisper at a distance of more than two meters, this will indicate poor hearing. Unfit are deaf (in one ear or both) people, as well as patients with chronic otitis media, which has negative influence for breathing through the nose. Deaf-mutes also do not serve.
Gastric disorders and problems with duodenum. Because of ulcers, a person will not be taken into the army.
Chronic pancreatitis.
Hernias that led to a breakdown in the normal functioning of the digestive system.

What else can interfere with military service

Missing one or more fingers; deformed limb.
An amputated limb or one lost in other circumstances also hinders recruitment into the armed forces. It is worth noting that the fracture provides only a temporary respite, after which the conscript undergoes a re-examination and if no critical consequences of the fracture are found, then the recruit takes place.
If the x-ray shows bone deformity, which is caused by old injuries or dislocations, recruitment is not performed. If stones (at least 5 mm in size) are found in one of the organs, then the person will be sent for treatment, and his ability to get into the army will be called into question.
Problems with mental health in the form of schizophrenia, split personality or the presence of paranoid fears and other disorders will not give a person the opportunity to serve. At the same time, the reliability of the presence mental illness is scrutinized due to the fact that the set wants to "slope" in this way. The presence of a certificate confirming the disease is checked and it is required to indicate the observing doctor. The period of time from which the detected deviations are observed is also indicated.
Speech defects that make it impossible to make out what the person is saying. An example is stuttering in a strongly manifested form.
Diabetes mellitus or obesity in the third stage give exemption from service.
Vegetovascular dystonia, due to which a man suffers from frequent and severe dizziness accompanied by loss of consciousness. But such a problem must be confirmed by a certificate from a medical institution.
Hemorrhoids in the second degree becomes an obstacle to recruitment.
People with urinary incontinence do not enter the military.
Present disorders of the respiratory system in the form of asthma, tuberculosis of any form and other diseases of the first degree that affect the functioning of the lungs and respiratory tract.
Heart problems: defects, disturbed rhythm, arrhythmia. A conscript with such disorders is not eligible to be recruited.
The deferment is granted to men who are found to have hydrocele or testicular hyperplasia.

In addition, patients diagnosed with AIDS, hepatitis C and similar diseases. I wonder why? Because in the army there is regular contact with each other and people who have such serious illness, cannot be accepted for service.

Also, people who have been diagnosed with alcoholism or drug addiction are not accepted for service. There must be confirmation that the person is registered with the drug dispensary.

What are some other reasons why they don't join the army?

One desire - to serve or not to serve - is not enough!

Even if a person is healthy, he may not be accepted into the army for the following reasons:

Inconsistency with the age of conscripts: today citizens of the age of 18-27 are called up. As already mentioned, citizens who are not suitable for health reasons will not be accepted into the service. But only if the disease is incurable. Otherwise, they are sent to undergo a course of treatment, for which they give a delay and send a summons again. A person comes to where they decide whether he is fit for service.
Those who served before are not accepted into the army. Sometimes military service abroad is counted.
People who have academic degree do not serve in the military. That is, candidates and doctors of science do not receive summons to the army.
The law also states that if a person who died while performing military duty or was mortally wounded had relatives or siblings, then they are exempted from military service.
A criminal record is also the reason why they are not accepted into the army. But important point is that the criminal record must be valid at the time of the call. That is, it should not be withdrawn or redeemed. Men who stay in the MLS, or undergo correctional labor, do not serve.
Also, those who are present in criminal cases as suspects or those who are involved in the preliminary investigation are not accepted for service. All information regarding convictions must be supported by an official document.

Such a fuss about the army draft exists due to the fact that there is an opinion among the people that the army cripples conscripts. Considerable effort has been put into this various means media, which often highlight negative sides military service, instead of showing its positive sides.

Besides, modern society rather weakly educates a patriotic attitude towards the country and citizens, which is why few people consider it their duty to serve and try to "slope" from it in various ways. Few believe that the army is a place of education of patriotism and a strong spirit, which helps to cope with different difficult situations in life.

Perhaps this should be extended to change society's attitude towards military service. However, it is helpful to stay aware of the reasons for not being drafted into the military.

Find out the most big myth about conscription: what do they not take into the army today? And why even healthy man can get a release?

As a rule, only people with obvious and severe pathologies, such as mental retardation, schizophrenia, blindness, deafness, absence of a limb, etc.

In other cases, the question is either about treatment (then a delay is given and then a re-examination is required), or about the degree of dysfunction of certain organs.

Severe dysfunction (slurred speech, urinary and fecal incontinence, heart failure, etc.) is a reason for dismissal to the reserve. In disputable cases, the decision remains with the medical commission.

Severe infections

active lung and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, HIV infection, leprosy - with such diagnoses they are not taken into the army. With tuberculosis and syphilis, a cure is possible, after which an additional examination will be required.

Intestinal infections, bacterial and viral diseases transmitted by arthropods, rickettsiosis, gonococcal, chlamydial infection, some mycoses (diseases caused by fungi) and other infections, when first detected at a medical examination, will cause them to be sent for treatment. If the infection is not treatable, the conscript is declared unfit for service.

Neoplasms

Malignant and benign neoplasms serve as a contraindication to military service if the tumor is not subject to radical removal, there are metastases or significant dysfunction of any organs.

In addition, those who refused therapy for a tumor will not be taken into the army. Persons undergoing treatment for neoplasms will be given a deferment, in the future they are subject to re-examination.

Obesity

Persons with obesity of 3 and 4 degrees are not suitable for military service. They are offered to undergo treatment, for which a delay is given. If the treatment does not help, during the re-examination, a conclusion is made about unfitness for service.

Diabetes

With diabetes any form and any degree of severity, even in the absence of complications, are not taken into the army. The disease is not cured, but corrected metabolic disorders in conditions military service does not seem possible.

Other endocrine diseases

Diseases thyroid gland, pituitary, adrenal, parathyroid and gonads, eating disorders, hypovitaminosis, gout are also contraindications to military service if they are accompanied by a violation of the functions of the relevant organs and are not amenable to replacement therapy. If a thyroid disease (goiter) prevents you from wearing military uniform, the conscript is also declared unfit for service.

Underweight (BMI<18,5) будет причиной для направления на дополнительное обследование у эндокринолога и лечение.

Mental disorders

Mental retardation, personality disorders, schizophrenia, psychosis, delusional and other mental disorders (regardless of the cause of the damage: trauma, tumor, infection, etc.) are contraindications for military service, about which the recruit's parents will be informed by a psychiatrist, who he observed.

Drug and alcohol addiction

Addictions are a contraindication to military service, even in the absence of mental manifestations and symptoms. The diagnosis must be documented after examination in a hospital. At the same time, the conscript must be registered and treated in a narcological dispensary.

Epilepsy

All forms of epilepsy, except for symptomatic, that is, one in which convulsive seizures are caused by some kind of brain damage, are a contraindication for conscript service. In case of symptomatic epilepsy, the examination is carried out according to the underlying disease.

Pathologies of the nervous system

Multiple sclerosis, paresis, paralysis, diseases and injuries of the brain and spinal cord, as well as the peripheral nervous system with consequences in the form of a violation of their functions of any degree - the reason for setting "unfit" in the column on military duty.

For temporary disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system, for example after an acute illness, exacerbation of a chronic illness, trauma or surgical treatment, a delay of 6 or 12 months is given. Then a re-examination is required.

Eye pathology

Retinal detachment and ruptures, glaucoma, severe pathology of the eyelids, conjunctiva, lens and other elements of the eye, strabismus in the absence of binocular vision, severe visual impairment, severe farsightedness or myopia, and, of course, blindness - all these are contraindications for military service. If the pathology does not cause a pronounced decrease in vision, the recruit is considered "fit with restrictions."

Hearing and vestibular disorders

Chronic otitis media (bilateral or unilateral), bilateral persistent perforation of the tympanic membrane, deafness or persistent hearing loss - this is not taken into the army. With pathologies that can be cured, they are sent for treatment, and in the future a re-examination is necessary.

Vestibular disorders of any degree are contraindications to the service, but this does not include seasickness and motion sickness in transport.

Heart pathologies

Heart failure (2, 3 and 4 functional classes), rheumatic heart disease, heart defects, persistent conduction disorders and an artificial pacemaker, coronary heart disease are one hundred percent "medical exemptions" from military service.

With heart failure 1 FC, the conscript is considered "fit with minor restrictions."

Hypertension and vascular pathology

If a recruit is found to have an increase in blood pressure above 150/100, he is given a delay and a referral to a hospital for diagnosis. In the future, hypertension of 2 and higher degrees will serve as a medical diversion from the service.

With hypertension of the 1st degree, the conscript is fit with minor restrictions. With persistent vegetative-vascular disorders and hypotension, a conscript may be considered unfit for service.

In vascular pathology, the degree of impaired blood supply and the function of the relevant organs is assessed. If they are not there, the conscript is fit with restrictions. Hemorrhoids is a contraindication with a high degree of severity of the process.

Pathologies of the respiratory system

Severe difficulty in nasal breathing, a fetid runny nose (ozena), purulent sinusitis with frequent exacerbations, damage to the larynx or trachea, lung diseases with severe or moderate respiratory dysfunction - this is not taken into the army. If the violation of breathing is expressed slightly - "good with minor restrictions."

Bronchial asthma

With bronchial asthma, the conscript will go to the reserve. And regardless of the severity of the disease, the frequency and severity of seizures. Once the diagnosis is made, it is also not removed.

Pathologies of the teeth, jaws and digestive system

Absence of 10 or more teeth in one jaw, severe periodontitis and periodontal disease, jaw pathologies with impaired respiratory, olfactory, chewing, swallowing or speech functions; severe forms of colitis, enteritis, fistulas, all pathologies of the esophagus and intestines, accompanied by a violation of their function - all this will give at least a respite from the army for the duration of treatment, or even force the medical board to write you off to the reserve.

Gastric ulcer and other disorders of the digestive tract

Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum is a contraindication to military service. With gastritis, the conscript is fit with minor restrictions. In hepatitis and pancreatitis, the question of the degree of severity of dysfunction is resolved. If a hernia is found, surgical treatment is offered, and then a re-examination.

Psoriasis and other skin diseases

Psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, common forms of alopecia or vitiligo, chronic urticaria, photodermatitis, scleroderma, ichthyosis, recurrent eczema will save you from military service. In atopic dermatitis, the issue is resolved depending on the frequency of exacerbations.

Curvature of the spine and other bone pathologies

Chronic diseases of the joints and spine, arthritis, osteo- and chondropathy with dysfunction of the joints, scoliosis starting from the 2nd degree, osteochondrosis with damage to 3 or more intervertebral discs, defects in the bones of the vault of the skull, defects in the hand and fingers with impaired function of the hand - all these are reasons to dismiss you in reserve.

With a curvature of the spine, the question of suitability will depend on its shape, severity and severity of clinical manifestations.

flat feet

The fate of a conscript with flat feet will depend on the severity of flat feet (its degree) and the presence of concomitant pathologies: arthrosis, contractures, exostoses.

Deformations of the arms and legs (including their significant shortening), which make it difficult to wear military uniforms and shoes, will be the reason for dismissal to the reserve.

Malformations

Congenital malformations will cause "unfit for service" if there is a violation of the function of a certain organ (polycystic kidney disease, anomalies in the development of the genital organs, etc.). If the developmental anomaly does not affect the function (for example, doubling of the kidney while maintaining its function or microtia (congenital underdevelopment of the outer ear), the conscript is considered fit.

Lack of physical development

Height below 150 cm and weight less than 45 kg is a reason to send a conscript to an endocrinologist in order to find out the reason for such a strong lag in physical development. Then treatment and re-examination will be carried out.

Enuresis

Bedwetting is a reason not to join the army. However, the diagnosis requires multilateral medical confirmation: therapist, urologist, neuropathologist, dermatovenereologist, psychiatrist.

Stuttering

Stuttering and other speech disorders, in which it is little understood or generally incomprehensible to others, are a reason for dismissal to the reserve. The severity of stuttering is assessed during long-term dynamic observation in various situations, as well as on the basis of characteristics from the place of work or study.

Consequences of injuries

Injuries to any organs that caused a violation of their function, foreign bodies in the cranial cavity, eyes, mediastinum, abdominal cavity, extensive scars that restrict movement in the joints and wearing a military uniform, the consequences of burns and frostbite - with such a pathology, they will not be taken into the army.

food allergy

If there is a food allergy to the main foodstuffs included in the army ration (such as flour products, cereals, potatoes, butter), the conscript leaves for the reserve. In this case, the presence of allergies must be confirmed by skin tests and an appropriate medical history.

Pathologies of the kidneys and reproductive system

Any kidney disease in violation of their function, with renal failure.

In case of pathology of the genital organs, the conclusion of the medical examination will depend on the severity of clinical manifestations. With mild symptoms (for example, the absence of one testicle), the recruit will be "fit with minor restrictions." Conscripts with infertility are fully fit for military service.

The expression "for those who are over" usually implies a respectable age - over 40, over 50, and so on. But this article considers a slightly different age limit. Namely, only men who are over 18.

That is, guys of military age. But the article itself is very useful, especially since the next autumn conscription has already begun on October 1. Read.

As a rule, only people with obvious and severe pathologies, such as mental retardation, schizophrenia, blindness, deafness, absence of a limb, etc., are completely unsuitable for the army.

In other cases, the question is either about treatment (then a delay is given and then a re-examination is required), or about the degree of dysfunction of certain organs.

Severe infections

Active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, HIV infection, leprosy - with such diagnoses, they are not taken into the army. With tuberculosis and syphilis, a cure is possible, after which an additional examination will be required.

Intestinal infections, bacterial and viral diseases transmitted by arthropods, rickettsiosis, gonococcal, chlamydial infection, some mycoses (diseases caused by fungi) and other infections, when initially detected at the medical examination, will cause sending for treatment. If the infection is not treatable, the conscript is declared unfit for service.

Neoplasms

Malignant and benign neoplasms are a contraindication to military service if the tumor is not subject to radical removal, there are metastases or significant dysfunction of any organs.

Obesity

Diabetes

With diabetes of any form and any severity, even in the absence of complications, they are not taken into the army. The disease is not treated, and it is not possible to correct metabolic disorders in the conditions of military service.

Other endocrine diseases

Diseases of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, parathyroid and gonads, eating disorders, hypovitaminosis, gout are also contraindications to military service if they are accompanied by dysfunction of the relevant organs and are not amenable to replacement therapy. If a thyroid disease (goiter) prevents the wearing of a military uniform, the conscript is also declared unfit for service.

Do they take to the army with flat feet, gastritis and scoliosis? In this article I will tell you who can not go to serve for health reasons. There are more than 100 non-conscription diagnoses, so I advise you to check: maybe “youth in boots” is not waiting for you!

Hello!

Although many conscripts dream not of health, but of illness - only such that it does not interfere with life and saves them from service. In this article I will tell you with what diseases they are not taken into the army. I must say right away that among them there are no mild diseases that do not affect the quality of life.

Therefore, I wish everyone to never experience any of their symptoms. However, if it so happened that you have a non-conscription diagnosis, then take advantage of the situation and get a deferment, or even exemption from the draft.

Schedule of illnesses 2017 for conscripts to the army

There is an approved list of diseases with which you will not be accepted to serve on the call. It is called the "Schedule of Diseases" and is an appendix to the "Regulations on the military medical examination." Why "schedule"?

Probably because all the diagnoses in it are painted in detail. At the end of the article, I will provide a download link for this document, which every guy 18 and over should read. But first I'll tell you how to use the "Schedule".

Items of the Schedule of diseases in the army - why is each diagnosis divided into a), b) and so on?

When you find your disease, you will see that under it there are points a), b), c) and so on. Why are they? The fact is that the same disease can manifest itself in different ways. For example, everyone has heard that the flat feet of the army are a direct hindrance. However, flat feet can be different: one remembers him when he runs a 40 km marathon, and even that is already near the finish line, and the other cannot even walk a couple of kilometers.

Another example: many are interested in whether they take people with scoliosis into the army. Scoliosis comes in different degrees. You may not even know about the first degree if you do not look at yourself intently in the mirror and do not notice that one shoulder is slightly higher than the other. But the fourth degree is already a hump on the back.

In article 66, the Spinal Disease Schedules are divided into 5 points from a) to e) depending on how severe the disease is. Below, under the article, an explanation is given for each item. Written in abstruse medical language, but for the sake of a military man you can strain yourself and google all the incomprehensible terms. And it’s better to ask your doctor or doctor friend to “translate” the terms into human language.

So, you found your disease and decided on the item. What's next?

Categories in the army: what do the letters A, B, C, D, D mean?

The schedule looks like a table: on the left - diseases, on the right - three columns with letters from A to D. We are interested in the first column - this is a conscription service. So, if opposite your point you saw:

A - you are fit for conscription service, you can shave your head;
B - you are fit, but with minor restrictions;
B - you are partially fit for military service;
D - you are temporarily unfit and receive a deferral to improve your health;
D - you are not fit for military service and can get a military ID.

You probably noticed the IND mark. It means that with this diagnosis, each case is considered individually.

Those who have obtained category D can breathe out calmly. They will not be called up. However, one can only sympathize with them, because their disease is serious and significantly impairs the quality of life.

If you got A, B, C, D or an IND mark, then you will have to collect a lot of papers and go around a lot of doctors in order to still knock out the coveted reprieve.

What kind of vision is not taken into the army?

Many have heard that "bespectacled men" are not taken to serve. I'll explain in more detail.

For myopia:

6 or more diopters in any eye - category B, delay;

For farsightedness:

8 or more diopters in any eye - category B, delay;
12 or more diopters in any eye - category D, not good.

With some other visual impairments, the army is also closed to you. These are astigmatism, loss of visual acuity, injuries, glaucoma, retinal detachment, color perception disorders, etc. Read more about each diagnosis and its corresponding eligibility categories in the Schedule in articles 29 to 36. The download link is at the end of the article.

With osteochondrosis, the army is not terrible?

Have you been playing Dotka for the last five years, and now your back hurts from sitting in front of the monitor around the clock? This is not yet a reason to recoil from the health service. What we call “osteochondrosis” with a light hand and say that he, they say, tortured him, is his easiest form, and with it you are fit for combat.

Article 66 of the Timetable will tell you more about this. From it you will learn that those who lie in hospitals for months, live on painkillers and cannot stand still for even a few minutes will receive a deferral or exemption from service. Hope it's not about you. But if this is close to the truth, and your back does not allow you to live normally, then start to be examined: perhaps you will get a military man without vilifying

With gastritis they take to the army - is it true or not?

Do you like hamburgers and cola? Does your stomach hurt sometimes? Do not rush to diagnose yourself with gastritis. Real gastritis, in which the army will turn into torture, is a serious condition in which you can not eat anything but liquid oatmeal and boiled cabbage. If you don't believe me, look at Article 59 of the Schedule.

There you will see that the only reason for a delay can be such gastritis, in which you are literally starving, and your body mass index (BMI) has dropped to 19 or less. That is, if with a height of 1 m 80 cm you weigh 60 kg or less and are in hospitals for at least 2 months a year.

Let's sum up - after all, what do they not take into the army with?

Let's face it. If you have moderate gastritis, scoliosis, flat feet, hemorrhoids that do not interfere with your life, the army in 2017 will welcome you with open arms. If any sneeze were grounds for a delay, then the barracks would have been empty long ago. We have only a few who are 100% healthy.

Therefore, it is not enough to bring a certificate from a doctor with a diagnosis, for example, arrhythmia - the army needs to prove that the disease interferes with a full life. In this case, extracts from hospitals and clinics where you have ever applied with your problem will come in handy. If you have real health limitations, then start collecting statements as early as possible so that by the 18th birthday you have accumulated a thick medical history.

Firms helping to get a military ID legally for health reasons

Can you trust lawyers who offer assistance in obtaining a deferment or a health officer? I have no experience of contacting such offices, but my acquaintances and friends have it. Firstly, if such a firm offers to “draw” you a non-existent diagnosis or, in other words, buy a military ID, without having a legal basis for a delay, do not try to contact them.

Believe me, there are smart people in the military registration and enlistment office, and every call they are faced with fraud attempts. They will refute your imaginary diagnosis in no time, and you:

go to the army;
you will lose the money that you paid to the “firm”;
in some cases, you will be held liable as a deviator.

Another thing is firms that offer to undergo a complete health examination and collect extracts and protocols in order to get a deferment or a military officer. For example, you have a disease from the "Schedule", let it be a hernia - the army seems to be in flight, but you have not been seen by a doctor and have not undergone any examinations for a long time.

Then you need to get registered with a specialist doctor as soon as possible, or better, go to the hospital for examination and treatment, collect the doctors' opinions.

There are firms that help to get through all the doctors in a short time, not to sit in queues and not go to the head doctor, knocking out the paper or seal you need. It's convenient, but it costs money. Choose for yourself how you will collect the papers: yourself, for free and with difficulty, or quickly, but for a round sum.

Read the Schedule from cover to cover, but did not find anything suitable? The deferment is given not only for health reasons. I list other grounds in my article. Be sure to read! Some I didn't even know about.

Still thinking about buying yourself a diagnosis? I do not advise! Superstitious people say that you can invite trouble. If you pretend to be sick, you will actually get sick. I'm not superstitious, but I believe in green men who come for those who break the law. These men put criminals in their armored vehicles and take them to a house with bars. This is much more terrible than the most severe army.

Maybe you still listen to the stories of the experienced about the army of the nineties? If you don’t know, socks instead of footcloths have been on urgent now, and they even give hand cream! And after dinner. Of course, at home is better than in the barracks. But in the barracks is better than "on the run." So, if you are as healthy as Arnie and have not acquired a Ph.D. thesis or two kids, then read my advice to recruits and go to serve! You can do it!

Do you have any questions? Write in the comments! Maybe among the readers of the blog there are those who have already resolved the issue with the army with your diagnosis.
