Military service is now treated differently. Someone considers it his duty to serve in the army, and someone is looking for any reason not to wear canvas boots. Modern medicine is a huge list of diseases that are not taken into the army.
It should be noted that there are several categories of fitness for military service.
The first or A means that the guy is healthy and fit for military service.
The second or B indicates minor restrictions or minor health problems.
Third or B means limited serviceability. In this category, the conscript is credited to the reserve.
The fourth or G indicates temporary unsuitability. The young man is granted a delay until absolute recovery.
Fifth or D indicates complete unsuitability for service.
