Many young men do not want to join the army and therefore want to avoid conscription. At most of our military registration and enlistment offices, doctors casually inspect conscripts, admitting the army unsuitable. This is because almost all recruits do not know under what diseases they are not enlisted in the army. In order to attract the attention of doctors and make your examination more attentive, you must have your medical card from the children's clinic with you when going to the military registration and enlistment office. In fact, the list of diseases that are not taken into the army is very large, since one disease has certain forms and degrees: with some, a young person will be fit, but not with others. The list of these diseases occupies more than 250 pages of the medical book with large tables and explanations.
If a man is seriously ill during the draft, he may receive a reprieve from the army. The list of diseases that provide a delay can be found in the military enlistment office. Also, deferment from military service is received by people who study in higher and secondary special educational institutions.
So, the list of diseases that are not taken into the army most often includes: vision problems, drug addiction and alcoholism, flat feet, scoliosis, hepatitis C, AIDS, HIV, intestinal diseases. People with these problems during examination pay more attention. You can study in more detail under which diseases they are not taken into the army.
Vision problems
The reason why they are not enlisted in the army may be the presence of nearsightedness or farsightedness of the conscript. But, in order not to get into the army, a conscript must have at least one eye with a visual acuity of 0.09 or less, and with a visual acuity of the second eye — 0.4 or higher. The blind do not get into the army either in one eye or both.
Flat feet
Alas, in order not to get into the army, you must have flat feet of the 3rd degree. People call this kind of “bear foot” or obvious arthrosis of the 2nd or 3rd degree in the joints of both legs. This disease can be the reason for exemption from military service.
Scoliosis
Almost every person has a curvature of the spine. To exempt from service, the angle of curvature on the radiograph should be 11 or more degrees. Such a bend is accompanied by a decrease or loss of sensitivity, strength, tendon reflex.
Digestive tract diseases
All kinds of intestinal infections, viral and bacterial diseases can become a reason not to join the army . Also exempt from the service of patients with hepatitis, typhoid fever, chronic dysentery and people who have a chronic disease of any organ.
To say which diseases are not taken into the army most often, you can view the statistics of diseases of our conscripts in recent years:
- 20% of children have problems with the musculoskeletal system;
- 15% have mental disorders;
- 11% have various diseases of the digestive system;
- 8-9% who have received exemption from the army have diseases of the nervous system.
Also exemption from military service can be obtained due to malignant and benign neoplasms. Cancers are malignant, and moles are benign. But, in order not to get into the army because of this, the mole must be in certain places (for example, on the back), plus it must be quite large in size.
It is very important to know under which diseases they are not enlisted in the army, so that when you come to the military registration and enlistment office with a certificate of one of these diseases, you can be sure that you can free yourself from military service temporarily or permanently. Many young people who think that they are entitled to a deferment from the army have not even seen the list of diseases that give them the right to do so. Because of this unpreparedness, they fall into the ranks of the military. It is better to undergo a medical examination in advance at the military registration and enlistment office so that you can safely collect documents that indicate your suitability or unsuitability.
