Medical contraindications for military service. Legal exemption from the army

No one will deny that in our time, military service has lost its civic and patriotic meaning, and has become only a source of danger to the lives of young people and a waste of time. Moreover, the current generation of conscripts is not in good health, so it is worth suffering and undergoing a medical examination. The possibility of receiving a “white ticket” or a long delay always exists.

“Schedule of diseases” in the new edition

The list of diseases that are not allowed into the army is constantly updated by the country's military leadership. In 2014, a new edition came into force, which applies to the next years 2015-2019.
Diseases classified as category D are those in which the conscript is completely and completely released from the army.

The official document, which lists all the diseases, is called the “Schedule of Diseases,” of which there are more than two thousand. A complete list of diseases for which you can receive an exemption or temporary deferment can be found below.

In particular, category D includes:

— diseases of the musculoskeletal system – severe scoliosis, grade 3 flat feet and others;
- gastrointestinal diseases - all types of ulcers, polyps, etc.;
- heart disease;
- neurological diseases - epilepsy, consequences of severe injuries, paralysis;
- diseases of the urinary system - nephritis, pyelonephritis, urolithiasis;
- tuberculosis;
- endocrine diseases - diabetes, obesity;
— pathologies of the organs of vision;
- insufficient physical development;
- enuresis;
- food allergy.

Having found his illness in the “Schedule”, the conscript can determine whether he will have complete freedom from performing “civic duty” or whether he can receive a deferment.

Below is a more detailed consideration of each item on the illness schedule for conscripts. So, below are broken down into subsections the diseases for which the conscript will either be given a deferment until cured and re-examined, or will not be accepted into the army at all.

If you are the “lucky owner” of an illness that will not allow you to enjoy combat service, take care to document the diagnosis in advance at the clinic at your place of residence. Collect all documents: medical records, tests, x-rays, reports from hospitals and sanatoriums. All this must be presented during a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office.

A little trick: present only copies - the originals can disappear without a trace in the deft hands of military registration and enlistment doctors, and it is almost impossible to restore them. And your disease may simply go unnoticed. This is advice from life. Many sick guys were sent to serve precisely because of the “loss” of medical documents. You don't want to come back disabled, do you?

List of diseases, with whom they are not taken into the army, is constantly updated by the military leadership of the Russian Federation. In 2014, a new edition of the “disease schedule” came into effect; this edition will continue to be valid in the subsequent years 2015-2017.

The organization of medical examination of conscripts, according to clause 13 of the Regulations on Military Medical Examination, is entrusted to the draft commissions. In their work they are guided by the Regulations on Military Medical Examination. This provision defines not only the procedure for issuing conclusions on fitness for military service, but also the requirements for the health status of citizens subject to initial military registration, conscription, etc. (the so-called “Schedule of Diseases”). A medical examination of a conscript is one of the most important and integral stages of the draft commission; it is carried out by medical specialists: therapist, surgeon, ophthalmologist, neurologist, otolaryngologist, dentist and psychiatrist. If necessary, doctors of other specialties are involved in the examination. The formed military medical commission is called upon to determine the category of fitness for service in the Armed Forces on the basis of available medical documents, the results of assessing the state of health, and the physical development of citizens at the time of examination. Based on the results of the medical examination, a commission conclusion is drawn up in writing.

Citizens are summoned to undergo a medical examination by summons from the military commissariat.
Sources of information about the state of health are medical records requested in the preparatory period from polyclinics at the place of residence (March, September), the results of medical examinations, extracts from the medical records of inpatients. The resulting volume of medical documentation is so extensive that cases of loss of medical documents by military registration and enlistment office employees are not uncommon. Sometimes these circumstances make it difficult to document the history of the existing disease. Medical examination of citizens is preceded by the diagnostic minimum specified in paragraph 7 of the Instructions of May 23, 2001.
The list of events is as follows:

• fluorographic (x-ray) examination of the chest organs in two projections (if it has not been carried out or there is no information about this examination in medical documents within the last 6 months);
• blood test (determination of ESR, hemoglobin, leukocytes);
• urine analysis (specific gravity, protein);
• electrocardiographic study.

Based on the results of a medical examination, each of the medical specialists gives a conclusion on the citizen’s fitness for military service in one of five categories of fitness for military service:

• A – fit for military service;
• B – fit for military service with minor restrictions;
• B – limited fit for military service;
• G – temporarily unfit for military service;
• D – not fit for military service.

According to paragraphs. “a” clause 1 art. 23 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”, citizens recognized as unfit or partially fit for military service (fitness categories “D” and “B”, respectively) are exempt from conscription. Citizens who were recognized as unfit for military service upon conscription, as well as of limited fitness, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 52 Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service” are subject to enlistment in the reserve. According to Art. 54, 55 of the Law, both categories of citizens can be called up for military training.

According to paragraphs. “a” clause 1 art. 24 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”, citizens recognized as temporarily unfit for military service (fitness category “G”) are granted a deferment from conscription for military service for up to one year. Citizens recognized as fit for military service and fit for military service with minor restrictions (fitness categories “A” and “B”, respectively) by decision of the draft commission are called up for military service (in the absence of other grounds for deferment or release, not related to health from conscription). Fitness category “B” does not allow a conscript to undergo military service in certain branches and types of troops. Fitness category “A” does not provide restrictions on types and types of troops.
Requirements for the health status of citizens subject to initial military registration, citizens subject to conscription for military service (military training), citizens entering military service under a contract, citizens entering schools, military educational institutions are presented in a document with the official title "Schedule of illnesses."

When initially registering for military service or being called up for military service, citizens are examined according to Column I.
The list of diseases is extensive, but the interpretation of some points is ambiguous.
When conducting a medical examination of citizens, in addition to the research methods given in the list of diseases, it is allowed to use more informative methods. This problem is poorly solved in modern healthcare due to financial difficulties and, sometimes, is the cause of diagnostic errors, making it difficult to identify the existing disease.

According to official data, every second or third conscript is unfit to serve in the armed forces. The most common diseases remain: flat feet, scoliosis, hearing and vision impairment. Despite statements by high-ranking military officials about the planned improvement of the diagnostic base, the situation is still far from desired. In conditions of a significant flow, the principles of “conscription planning”, and the eternal shortage of places in hospitals, objective reasons arise for making diagnostic errors. The price of these mistakes is the health of citizens. A recruit with health problems, experiencing the negative impact of the military environment, becomes a hostage to the situation. In case of insufficient attention from medical workers, preconditions arise for the aggravation of ailments, the layering of newly acquired diseases on existing ones.

You can undergo an examination yourself and, with a 99% probability, detect the presence of non-diseases. Any conscript, even if he considers himself healthy, with due diligence, can detect non-conscription diseases that exempt him from conscription. There are 89 articles in the Schedule of Diseases - these are 89 groups of diseases with which they are not accepted into the army. Each group contains dozens of diagnoses. Thus, at the moment, there are more than 2000 (two thousand) diseases for which they are not accepted into the army - with an in-depth examination, the vast majority of conscripts can find at least one non-conscription diagnosis that exempts him from conscription. However, draft commissions do not accept such certificates, citing internal regulations.
In the given list of diseases, every resident of the metropolis can easily find a disease that worries him. This is proven by the fact that there are no healthy people, there are underexamined ones. In addition, there is a significant proportion of borderline disorders, the fitness category varies from “B” to “C”, and decisions made by the military registration and enlistment office, for various reasons, may not take into account the characteristics of a particular patient and may not reflect a functional approach to assessing health.
By undergoing an examination yourself, you will, with a 99% probability, identify the presence of diseases classified as so-called. "unconscripted". Any conscript, even one who considers himself healthy, is sometimes found to have diseases that exempt him from conscription after an in-depth examination. There are 89 articles in the Schedule of Diseases - 89 groups of diseases for which they are not accepted into the army. Each group contains dozens of diagnoses. Thus, there are more than two thousand diseases for which they are not accepted into the army - the vast majority of conscripts can be found to have at least one non-conscription diagnosis that exempts them from conscription. However, only an independent military medical commission created on the basis of the clinic, which has a license for this type of activity, has the right to formalize this diagnosis in the form of a conclusion from the Military Medical Commission. In St. Petersburg it is “MedExpert” We will help everyone who contacts us.

As a rule, only people with obvious and severe pathologies, such as mental retardation, schizophrenia, blindness, deafness, missing limbs, 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 dysfunction (slurred speech, urinary and fecal incontinence, heart failure, etc.) is a reason for transfer to the reserve. In controversial cases, the decision remains with the medical commission.

Severe infections

Active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, HIV infection, leprosy - people with such diagnoses are not accepted into the army. Tuberculosis and syphilis can be cured, after which additional examination will be required.

Intestinal infections, bacterial and viral diseases transmitted by arthropods, rickettsiosis, gonococcal, chlamydial infections, some mycoses (diseases caused by fungi) and other infections, when initially detected at a medical examination, will be the reason for sending for treatment. If the infection cannot be treated, the conscript is considered unfit for service.

Neoplasms

Malignant and benign neoplasms are a contraindication for military service if the tumor cannot be radically removed, there are metastases or significant dysfunction of any organs.

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

Obesity

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

Diabetes

People with diabetes of any form and any degree of severity, even in the absence of complications, are not accepted into the army. The disease cannot be cured, and it is not possible to correct metabolic disorders during military service.

Other endocrine diseases

Diseases of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, parathyroid and gonads, nutritional disorders, hypovitaminosis, gout are also contraindications for military service if they are accompanied by dysfunction of the relevant organs and are not amenable to replacement therapy. If a disease of the thyroid gland (goiter) prevents the wearing of a military uniform, the conscript is also considered 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 injury: trauma, tumor, infection, etc.) are contraindications for military service, which the conscript’s parents will be informed about by the psychiatrist who has him 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. In this case, the conscript must be registered and treated at a drug treatment clinic.

Epilepsy

All forms of epilepsy, except symptomatic, that is, those in which convulsive seizures are caused by some kind of brain damage, are a contraindication for conscription 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 disruption of their functions of any degree - the reason for putting “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 disease, injury or surgical treatment, a deferment of 6 or 12 months is given. Then a re-examination is required.

Eye pathology

Retinal detachment and tears, glaucoma, severe pathology of the eyelids, conjunctiva, lens and other elements of the eye, strabismus in the absence of binocular vision, severe vision loss, severe farsightedness or myopia and, of course, blindness - all these are contraindications for military service. If the pathology does not cause a significant decrease in vision, the conscript is considered “fit with limitations.”

Hearing and vestibular disorders

Chronic otitis (bilateral or unilateral), bilateral persistent perforation of the eardrum, deafness or persistent hearing loss - these will not allow you to join the army. Pathologies that can be cured are sent for treatment, and in the future a re-examination is necessary.

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

Heart pathologies

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

In case of heart failure FC 1, the conscript is considered “fit with minor restrictions.”

Hypertension and vascular pathologies

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

With grade 1 hypertension, the conscript is eligible with minor restrictions. With persistent vegetative-vascular disorders and hypotension, the conscript may be considered unfit for service.

In vascular pathology, the degree of disruption of the blood supply and the function of the relevant organs is assessed. If they are not there, the conscript is eligible with restrictions. Hemorrhoids are a contraindication when the process is severe.

Respiratory pathologies

Severe difficulty in nasal breathing, fetid runny nose (ozena), purulent sinusitis with frequent exacerbations, damage to the larynx or trachea, lung diseases with severe or moderate impairment of respiratory function - these will not be taken into the army. If the breathing disorder is not severe, it is “fit with minor restrictions.”

Bronchial asthma

A conscript with bronchial asthma will be sent to the reserves. Moreover, regardless of the severity of the disease, frequency and severity of attacks. Once a diagnosis is made, it is also not removed.

Pathologies of 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 deferment from the army for the duration of treatment, or even force the medical board to write you off as a reserve.

Stomach ulcers and other digestive tract disorders

Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum is a contraindication for military service. With gastritis, a conscript is fit with minor restrictions. In case of hepatitis and pancreatitis, the issue of the severity of the dysfunction is resolved. If a hernia is detected, surgical treatment is proposed, and then 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. With 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 impaired joint function, scoliosis starting from degree 2, osteochondrosis with damage to 3 or more intervertebral discs, defects of the bones of the cranial vault, defects of the hand and fingers with impaired hand function - all these are reasons to dismiss you in reserve.

With spinal curvature, 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, contracture, exostoses.

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

Developmental defects

Congenital malformations will cause “unfitness for service” if there is a dysfunction of a certain organ (polycystic kidney disease, abnormal 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 external ear), the conscript is considered eligible.

Lack of physical development

Height below 150 cm and weight less than 45 kg is a reason to send the conscript to an endocrinologist in order to find out the reason for such a severe 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: a therapist, urologist, neurologist, dermatovenerologist, psychiatrist.

Stuttering

Stuttering and other speech disorders in which it is difficult to understand or completely incomprehensible to others is a reason for transfer 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 cause disruption of their function, foreign bodies in the cranial cavity, eyes, mediastinum, abdominal cavity, extensive scars that limit movement in the joints and wearing a military uniform, consequences of burns and frostbite - with such a pathology they will not be accepted into the army.

Food allergies

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

Pathologies of the kidneys and reproductive system

Any kidney disease with impaired kidney function, with renal failure.

In case of pathology of the genital organs, the conclusion of the medical board will depend on the severity of the clinical manifestations. If symptoms are mild (for example, one testicle is missing), the conscript will be “fit with minor limitations.” Conscripts with infertility are fully fit for military service.

There are various reasons why people are not drafted into the army, but the most common reason for exemption from conscription is health problems. In this article, I will look at what diseases are not accepted into the army in 2018 and what non-conscription pathologies are most often found among young people.

The most popular question that the lawyers of the Conscript Assistance Service answer during consultations is: what diseases are not allowed into the army? It is difficult to list all non-conscription diagnoses, since their list is very wide.

Therefore, in this article I will talk about the diseases that are most common among conscripts.

According to the Russian representative office of the World Health Organization, young people are more often susceptible to diseases of the skeletal and circulatory systems, as well as the organs of vision and digestion.

This statistics is easily tracked when analyzing calls from recruits to our company. According to my observations, the most “popular” non-vocational diagnoses remain flat feet, scoliosis, myopia, hypertension and skin diseases.

I will analyze each case in more detail.

1. Flat feet:
   • Foot pathology is common, but not every case leads to enrollment in the reserve. Only if you have the third or fourth degree can you avoid the combat agenda.
2. Hypertension:
   • If you have never measured your blood pressure, I recommend checking your readings, because hypertension is not uncommon among conscripts. For a military ID, stage 1 is enough, but the diagnosis should sound like “hypertension” and not “arterial hypertension”.
3. Poor eyesight:
   • This group includes various pathologies of the visual organs: strabismus, myopia, farsightedness, impaired visual acuity. The conditions for setting category “B” will differ depending on the underlying diagnosis.
4. Scoliosis:
   • Fixed scoliosis of the 2nd degree with a curvature angle of 17 degrees or more or curvature of the spine of the 3rd stage will also help solve the problem with the call.
5. Skin diseases:
   • These include eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and urticaria. The diagnosis must be chronic and confirmed by documents from a dermatologist. If rashes appear on your skin periodically, consult a doctor before receiving a summons. You may not be eligible for conscription.

If you did not find the diagnosis you are interested in in the section “What diseases do you not want to serve in the army?”, study the other reasons for which you cannot serve.

Conscripts who want to get a military ID due to their health either do not know whether it is possible not to serve with their illness, or do not understand how to be exempt from conscription due to their diagnosis. Read the real stories of conscripts who received a military ID in the “Practice” section

What diagnoses are conscripts not accepted into the army?

In addition to these five diseases, there are hundreds of others for which young people are not accepted into the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. I will briefly list some other diseases that prevent people from joining the army.

50 most common ailments and pathologies:

tuberculosis of the lungs and other organs, malignant formations, some benign formations, aplastic and hemolytic anemia, HIV AIDS, goiter (if it interferes with wearing a military uniform), obesity stage 3-4, diabetes, thyroiditis, drug addiction and alcoholism, schizophrenia, long-term psychoses, neurotic disorders, personality disorders, epilepsy, essential tremor, VSD - some manifestations, prolonged and frequent migraines, hydrocephalus, eye injuries due to decreased vision, strabismus, myopia from 6 diopters, farsightedness more than 8 diopters, astigmatism more than 4 diopters, chronic otitis media,

hypertension, varicose veins, varicocele, haemorrhoids, some sinusitis, foul runny nose, bronchial asthma, ulcer, gastritis, malocclusion, some manifestations of gastritis hernias, psoriasis, chronic eczema, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, arthrosis, rachiocampsis, some forms of osteochondrosis, flat feet 3rd degree, nephroptosis, enuresis, bone fractures, persistent hearing loss.

What do you need to know?

The components of this list by themselves do not guarantee enrollment in the reserve. Even if a young person has some disease or developmental pathology from the list, he may be called up.

The only exceptions are such serious diagnoses as HIV, AIDS, and cancer. In this case, it is enough for the conscript to take tests and confirm the fact of the disease.

A similar situation will occur with such anomalies as the absence of a limb or teeth. But for less dangerous or severe pathologies (nephroptosis, flat feet, etc.

) doctors will look at the stage of the disease, the characteristics of its manifestation, the frequency of relapses, the difficulty of treatment and/or various functional impairments caused by the disease.

Therefore, if you find your ailment in the list above, find it in the Schedule of Diseases. This document indicates not only all the diseases with which you do not need to go to the army, but also a detailed description in which case category “B” is approved for them.

Where can I find a complete list of diseases that are not allowed into the army in 2018?

Diseases that are not accepted into the army in 2018 can be found in the section Schedule of diseases 2018 for conscripts into the army.

The disease schedule consists of 16 chapters. Each of them is dedicated to one system of the body or one group of pathologies. Sections, in turn, are divided into articles with a narrower grouping. They describe the diseases and indicate the categories of fitness for military service in 2018, characteristic of each ailment.

Attention!

To determine which fitness category the draft board will assign, you need to open the Schedule of Diseases, find the appropriate section and article with the desired diagnosis. Each article begins with the following tables:

The illustration shows that if myopia is more than 8 diopters, both category “B” and “B” are assigned. To avoid confusion, remember: For conscripts, fitness for service is always checked in the first column. The second and third columns refer to officers, persons performing contact service, etc.

Health problems to obtain a deferment from the army

For some illnesses and injuries, they are not completely exempt from conscription, but they are given a deferment of 2-6 months. These include broken arms or legs, nail fungus, and lack of weight.

A deferment can also be issued for other diseases if they require timely treatment, which cannot be obtained in the army medical unit. For some pathologies, a delay is given to undergo treatment or check the diagnosis.

In this case, after six months or a year, the conscript may be written off to the reserve if his condition does not change or becomes worse.

Most often, a deferment is given for the following health problems:

There is also a group of diseases for which a deferment is not given. The draft commission immediately makes a decision on sending and determines the final category of suitability. These include nasal fractures, grade 1 and 2 flat feet, braces, sinusitis and some skin diseases.

Military conscription 2018 - restrictions and details. Schedule of illnesses

Serving in the army is the duty of every adult male citizen of the Russian Federation. The 2018 military conscription has a number of important features, because almost every year new requirements for compulsory military service arise.

Regulatory legal acts define the conditions that must be fulfilled, because military service must be carried out by men who are physically ready for this, and they must also meet conscription age! Defense of the Fatherland in Russia, a multinational country, is strictly obligatory and has always been honorable, but in some regions there are also quite specific and important features for potential conscripts.

Military service in 2018

What are the main features of urgent conscription into the army? All adult male citizens of the country who have no contraindications due to their status or health must serve in Russia. Future conscripts must undergo a whole range of important events that are strictly necessary for everyone:

• at the age of 16 you must register with the military and receive a registration certificate;
• Having reached conscription age and received a summons, it is strictly necessary to visit the military commissariat at the designated time;
• the summons must be delivered personally to the conscript against his signature;
• In case of failure to appear when summoned, the legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability.

Passing a medical examination

After receiving the summons, a strict medical examination will follow; all future privates of the Russian army will certainly undergo it, except for those with a legal deferment. The medical commission, after a thorough comprehensive examination, will make a decision on whether the conscript is fit for full service in the army. In total, current legislation provides for 5 categories of fitness for military service:

• fit;
• suitable with minor restrictions;
• has limited validity;
• temporarily unfit for military service;
• unfit.

It happens when the commission cannot make an unambiguous decision due to various controversial circumstances. In this case, the conscript is redirected to an inpatient or outpatient examination at a licensed medical institution.

After complete treatment and the decision of the doctors, a new conscription period is set. The next important step in joining the army will be a medical report. A qualified draft commission will make its final verdict on the conscript.

According to this conclusion, the future date is sent to send:

• for military service;
• call him up for alternative civil service;
• grant a deferment;
• carry out exemption from conscription;
• enlist in reserve;
• according to legal grounds, grant freedom from military service.

Russian legislation provides for enlistment in the reserve upon reaching 27 years of age. From now on, a man is not subject to military service, regardless of his state of health.

Duration of service and time of organization of conscription into the army

The conscription dates in the future 2018 provide for two calls - a spring one, which starts on April 1 and ends on July 15, and there is also an autumn one, which will last from October 1 to December 31 inclusive. According to the law, it is only possible to draft into the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation during these periods.

Important!

There are several important exceptions to the rules - citizens of military age from the Far North will receive their summons from May 1 to July 15, as well as from November 1 to December 31.

Those who live in rural areas and are engaged in harvesting and sowing work have a full right to implement the conscription in the autumn - from October 15 to December 31.

The main branches of the military where they can be called up for service

In 2018, a potential conscript can join the following branches of the military:

• ground troops;
• air Force;
• Navy;
• strategic missile forces;
• space forces;
• airborne troops.

The specialty that the conscript possessed and his state of health are important. Traditionally, only the strongest and most physically resilient young people with a strong psyche and good health are accepted into the Airborne Forces.

Who will not be accepted into the army in 2018?

A citizen will not be required to join the army in 2018 if he:

• has a permanent job in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• works in the Federal Security Service;
• belongs to the Ministry of Emergency Situations workers.

There is a most important limitation - if a citizen nevertheless decides to resign from there, but at that moment he is under 27, then he will definitely receive a mandatory summons from the military registration and enlistment office!

The following will be avoided from conscription into active military service:

• adult men with one or more convictions that have not been expunged for many years;
• Citizens under investigation for a crime or on trial will avoid conscription;
• serving their sentence in a penitentiary institution.
• A university student will not serve if he receives full-time education;
• graduate students;
• the appearance of a second child in a legal marriage;
• Fathers who, due to insurmountable circumstances, are forced to raise a child on their own and without support are not subject to conscription;
• guardians of elderly citizens who have sick relatives as their dependents:
• The ranks of the Russian army will not be filled by young men who have very serious health problems.

Important!

There are several other categories of citizens who may not legally serve in the army - foreigners who served in the armed forces of another state and future military personnel who lost their older brothers during military clashes in hot spots. They will take you into the army if you have been expelled from a university and are studying by correspondence.

Diseases for which they are not called up for service

The diseases for which people are not accepted for military service are quite numerous. They can be divided into several large subgroups.

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system with which they are not accepted into the army - scoliosis of the 2nd degree with a deformation of at least 11 degrees, flat feet, called bear foot in the 3rd stage, deformities and other diseases of the hands or feet - for example, the absence of several fingers, arthrosis and arthritis of the second degree or higher, affecting the legs.

Diseases of the organs of vision

Poor vision is an important barrier to military service: cataracts, retinal detachment, severe myopia more than -6, progressive farsightedness, glaucoma, eye injuries or the absence of one eye.

Cardiovascular pathologies

If a conscript has hypertension - pressure exceeding the threshold of 150 to 90,
chronic vegetative-vascular dystonia, which is quite severe - periodic fainting and constant dizziness, the presence of heart disease and ischemia. We have listed the most important deviations that occur in real practice.

Hearing problems

The presence of chronic otitis media and complete deafness can become an insurmountable obstacle to military service.

Digestive system diseases

Difficulties with the digestive system may well lead to a delay in military service. Such a reason may be a hernia that limits intestinal patency, pancreatitis in its chronic form, stomach and duodenal ulcers, hemorrhoids. Gallstone disease is a serious disease that interferes with service.

Problems with the genitourinary system

Conscripts with chronic enuresis, urolithiasis and hydrocele, sexual dysfunction and hyperplasia are not accepted into the army.

Other chronic diseases

An obstacle to serving will be stuttering, which seriously distorts speech, diabetes mellitus, and obesity above the 2nd degree. Patients with chronic hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, and cancer are also not useful in combat service. Mental problems are a serious reason for exemption from the army:

• the appearance of obsessive states;
• pronounced phobias;
• chronic schizophrenia;
• pathologies of the respiratory system.

The presence of chronic alcoholics and drug addicts in the army is contraindicated, but it will be strictly necessary to confirm the presence of constant persistent addiction, which is confirmed by relevant documents!

You can find a complete list of diseases with which you will not be accepted into the army in 2018 (list of diseases) at the link.

What categories of citizens are granted a deferment from military service?

A deferment for a potential military personnel is just a temporary opportunity to avoid the obligation to serve in the army. Along with its completion, you will have to repay your debt to your homeland. The following are the official grounds for not going to work for a strictly defined period:

• state of temporary unfitness for service;
• caring for a sick relative who currently has no one to look after;
• presence of a disabled child under 3 years of age;
• pregnant wife more than 26 weeks pregnant;
• PhD students defending their dissertation;
• deferment due to study at a higher or secondary educational institution;
• deferment for a schoolchild who must receive time to enter a university or college.

Important!

The deferment will be carried out only if the necessary documents are available - a diploma of education, a certificate of admission to graduate school, a medical certificate indicating the presence of serious health problems

The number of deferments available is unlimited - you can get them not only after graduation, but also when the student transitions from the bachelor's to the master's degree system. You can only take advantage of a deferment for conscription when studying at an officially licensed institution!

Various forms of military service

Since 2017, the state has provided conscripts with the opportunity to independently choose the form of fulfilling their military duty to the country. Can choose:

• alternative service for a period of 21 months;
• contract service with full monetary and clothing allowance;
• serve conscript service for a year.

By 2018, you can independently choose which military service is more attractive to you.

Important!

It is planned to gradually reduce the proportion of conscripts in the army, gradually replacing them with professionals. By 2020, more than 85% of its personnel should serve in the army on a contract basis.

Features of conscription into the army in 2018

According to the constitution, men from all regions of Russia are subject to military service, but there are several features of conscription.

Conscripts from Crimea serve only on the territory of their peninsula, and in the Chechen Republic for several previous years, young men were not conscripted due to some local specific features.

People from Chukotka, the Yamalo-Nenets District and Yakutia must serve, but conscription there is adjusted, starting only on May 1 and ending on July 15. In terms of its duration in 2018, the service life will remain the usual - 1 year.

Sickness schedule 2018 for conscripts | Official document

Many young people associate the summons for urgent conscription with fear. Others, on the contrary, cannot wait to go to defend their homeland. Parents are also worried.

In any case, anyone who is worried about conscription would do well to refer to the Schedule of Illnesses in 2018 - this is a document for conscripts that describes the classification of categories.

Let's try to figure out who can avoid serving on the basis of this document.

What is the document based on?

This Schedule is an appendix to the corresponding resolution 565 (dated July 4, 2013), officially it is called “Regulations on military medical examination” and regulates the process of conducting a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office. This is the main hope of those who want to avoid urgent conscription, receive a military ID or a temporary deferment.

For those who want to serve on a contract basis, the Schedule will be even more useful - on its basis the conscript will become familiar with health restrictions.

The document includes about 2 thousand different diseases, which are classified according to the causes of occurrence and severity.

Download Disease Schedule

Each reason is strictly substantiated and studied by doctors who worked on the Schedule of Military Diseases. In fact, this list of diagnoses helps determine conscripts who will receive a military ID for health reasons.

Before the service, it is better to familiarize yourself with this list. For those who do not want to serve, it would be useful to obtain documentary evidence of illness - this should be done in advance.

Suitability categories

The list contains fitness categories A-D, and any of them includes subsections where the features of human life are written. This, in turn, influences the commission’s verdict and determines the type of troops for a potential recruit. Let's look at these categories in more detail.

Category A

Category B

Attention: in addition to the physical condition, doctors also pay attention to other characteristics (see below).

Other categories

• IN. Persons with category B have the right not to serve in the absence of military action, but the basis for receiving such a category must be a serious illness. During a war period, however, a citizen will be called up for service.
• G. A deferment is possible on the basis of some medical indications with the condition of recovery over a certain period of time, after which a conscript with such a diagnosis will need to undergo a medical examination again.
• D. Complete exemption from military service, even in wartime.

A deferment for category G is granted for a maximum of 12 months, after which doctors must make a final decision - whether it is suitable or not. In other words, after the deferment expires, the category must be replaced with another.

Those who are not subject to conscription under any circumstances: persons with HIV infection, diabetics and citizens with missing limbs, etc.

How to read the Schedule of Diseases

The 2018 document is presented in the form of a scale table with sectors corresponding to diseases. To find a disease, you must first read the general diagnosis. Any ailment belongs to one of the systems of physiology - it is for them that the categories are encrypted. The total number of groups is 16.

Reading order of the Schedule

1. Find your medical record, then you should find the body system that is affected by the disease (bone, eye problems, dystonia, etc.).
2. Find a specific section.
3. Go to this section and familiarize yourself with the ailment that is indicated in the diagnosis.
4. Go to the point that is determined by this disease.
5. Look at the table, which describes in detail the causes of the disease and certain categories.

Remember: the table contains three columns with letter designations, they are intended, respectively: for conscripts; for reserve citizens; for those who go to serve on a contract basis.

Let's look at an example

For example, a conscript is diagnosed with an eye disease, problems with the retina, and the disease is caused by injury. Your cipher is searched as follows:

1. We are looking for a section that is determined by the diagnosis. In this situation, this is point 7, which is responsible for eye ailments and diseases of other organs.
2. The paragraph contains 8 articles (29-36), you should carefully read their names.
3. Article 31 is precisely responsible for retinal detachment.
4. Let's get acquainted with the article, it identifies all the situations in which the disease may appear.
5. In our case, this is a post-traumatic etiology for both eyes. The first column corresponds to the sign B. See above for what this means.

When passing the commission, doctors pay attention to medical confirmation - if the card does not contain information about the causes and course of the disease, the disease may simply not be taken into account when awarding the category.

List of diseases exempt from the army in 2018 - official website

On July 15, the spring conscription into the army ended in Russia. The next call, the autumn one, starts only in October. However, the time between conscriptions should not be wasted by those who hope for complete exemption from the army due to health reasons.

In order to find out whether you can qualify for exemption, you first need to know what categories of fitness for service exist and what diseases give the right to a deferment or complete exemption from the army.

The official website of legal information and the current version of the special government decree will help you find out the current list of diseases exempt from the army in 2018.

What law establishes the list of diseases that provide deferment or exemption from the army in 2018

Such a legislative act is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 565 of July 4, 2013. Its current edition contains the latest amendments made in April 2018.

The main section of this resolution is the so-called schedule of diseases, which is the very list of diseases that interests us.

The list is a table consisting of five columns:

1. Disease number in the schedule - all diseases are numbered in a special way; in some cases, medical specialists use only these numbers.
2. Name of the disease - sometimes after the name the degree of the disease itself is specified; the category of fitness also depends on this degree.
3. Category of suitability for service for those who belong to the first column.
4. Fitness category for those belonging to the second column.
5. Fitness category for those belonging to the third column.

What are the three columns by which potential or active military personnel are divided? The point is that the health requirements of a conscript, conscript soldier, contract soldier or officer are different.

In our case, we are only interested in the first column, or the third column in the list of diseases. It is in the first column that conscripts are included, and they are guided by it during the initial military registration.

Having become an active conscript soldier, a person falls into the number of those who belong to the second column. It lists all active military personnel who are not officers. Officers belong to the third column.

Thus, the last two columns of the table in the schedule of illnesses are not interesting to conscripts, we will not focus on them.

How to use the illness schedule

All diseases on the list, including those that provide exemption from the army in 2018, are divided into 16 large groups. Conscripts will be interested in 15 of them.

One of the groups, strictly speaking, includes not diseases, but health conditions, and exclusively for women. We are talking about pregnancy and childbirth and everything connected with it.

This group in the illness schedule is intended for women voluntarily serving in the army, including officers.

In total, the schedule contains 88 diseases. If we exclude the purely female line 79 of the list (pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period), there remain 87 diseases that provide certain relief or complete exemption from service.

There are five grades of fitness for service in total. They have a letter designation:

• A - fitness for service,
• B - suitability with minor restrictions,
• B - limited validity,
• G - temporary unusability,
• D - unfit for service.

If we talk about diseases that are completely exempt from the army in 2018, then we are talking about those conditions that are marked with the letter D.

To figure out whether the health status of a particular conscript allows him to hope for complete release from the army, you need to open the official website of legal information (for example, “Consultant”) and find there the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 04.07.

2013 N 565. By opening the schedule of diseases, you will find a list of diseases by category. By selecting the desired category, you can find a particular disease and find out what degree of fitness those conscripts who suffer from this disease have.

The government decree is drawn up in sufficient detail and contains many explanations. This also helps to avoid double interpretations of the illness schedule.

If you see in the list that opposite your illness in column 1 there is the letter D, and all the explanations indicate that we are talking about exactly the severity of the illness that you have, there is a high chance that you will be completely exempt from the army at the medical commission.
