You are in poor health and are afraid that it will only get worse in the army? If you know your rights and are able to use them when passing a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, then the problem is solved. One of the ways to be exempted from military conscription is to obtain the category “limited to military service”, which means enlisting in the reserve. It is worth knowing that when determining the suitability of a young man for military service, members of the draft board rely on the provision on medical examination. This document has an appendix, where a list of expiration groups and the classification of diseases by these groups is located. The schedule of diseases reflects health requirements for the following categories of citizens:
- I - for citizens who first entered military registration or are called up for military service.
- II - for military personnel who undergo conscript military service.
- III - for military personnel who serve under the contract.
- IV - for citizens who are or are recommended to do military service on submarines.
In the list of diseases, the following fitness groups for military service are noted:
- “A” - this category includes absolutely healthy conscripts fit for military service.
- “B” - a conscript with minor illnesses may fall into the group fit for service with minor medical restrictions.
- "B" - the category of "limited fit for military service" includes conscripts with serious illnesses (most often they are credited to the reserve).
- “G” - a conscript who has suffered serious illnesses or is injured may fall into the group of temporarily unfit for military service.
- “D” - conscripts who have serious illnesses that cannot be served are recognized as unfit for service.
It is worth remembering that a careful and careful attitude to your health will simplify the procedure for passing a medical examination in your favor. The presence of a particular disease upon presentation of a medical history can serve as a weighty argument for obtaining the category of “partially fit for military service”. In case of any ailment, it is necessary to consult a doctor and enter all complaints and diseases into the medical record.
Unfortunately, many conscripts do not know what categories of suitability exist, which means "limited fit for military service." At the same time, if you suspect that your health is really poor, you must do the following:
- examine the list of diseases that are an obstacle to military service, and compare with the diagnoses in your medical record;
- decide what disease you will pay attention of the medical board members to the military enlistment office;
- At least one year before the draft campaign, start visiting doctors. The main thing is that information about diseases should be reflected in your medical record, as This is an important document. Remember: if you have any specific disease, but it is not identified by doctors and is not recorded on the map, then the likelihood of serving in the army increases;
- carefully study all the symptoms of your disease, otherwise the draft medical board may redirect you to many examinations to various doctors;
- For medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, take with you all the documents that confirm the presence of a certain disease.
If you do everything right, then events can develop in two ways:
- The commission recognizes you as unfit or for limited use (for example, suitable only in wartime) for military service.
- You will be sent for examination to a specialized hospital, where doctors, of course, will familiarize themselves with your medical record. Remember, this is a document you can trust.
Thus, after additional examinations, the medical board at the military registration and enlistment office may follow the path described in paragraph 1.
The simplest example demonstrates how careful attention to health affects the possibility of military service. It is worth knowing that repeated concussion gives the right to free you from military service. A concussion can be both mild and not causing serious health consequences, or severe. In this case, with light tremors often do not go to the doctor, but in vain. After all, this can become a serious argument when deciding by the draft committee (in particular, to obtain the category of “limited to military service”).
In order to fix a concussion, the patient’s words about nausea and dizziness and the presence of these symptoms are enough.
In addition, the identification of the diagnosis during examination by a doctor is also important during the passage of the primary military and draft commissions. So, going to the medical board at the military registration and enlistment office, you should know exactly what is written on your medical record and in which of the categories of validity you can meet your diagnoses.
Thus, even insignificant at first glance diagnoses can greatly affect the possibility of military service.
