Categories of service for service

There are 5 categories of "eligibility" conscript. Category A - good. This absolute conformity, the young people, who were recognized as fit, are called into the army. Category B is good, but there are minor restrictions. As in the previous category, these guys are called for urgent service, but in those kind of troops, where less intensive physical load. B - limited fit. Those who fall into this category are not recruited for service - they are given a military ticket, while young people are enrolled in the reserve. D - is not fit for military service temporarily (usually a conscript is granted a delay of 6 months to 1 year). This category is appropriated to those who are sick at the time of the commission, are on treatment in a hospital or undergo rehabilitation after a previous illness or injury. Category D - not good, can not be drafted into the army (a military ticket is issued, and the draftee is released from service).

Some features of assigning a category of eligibility

This category D and B. In addition, it should be said that those recruits, in relation to which the medical commission issued a conclusion - "limited-fit", are not subject to re-examination. Those who receive such a category are given a so-called "white ticket". In fact, the document is, of course, a single sample, that is, the color and appearance of it is absolutely the same as that of the certificate that confirms the suitability for military service. However, it is the "white ticket" that avoids the actual draft, and it should be understood that in case of mobilization or conduct of military exercises, young people of category B are obliged to come to the collection point and go to their destination. With a list of diseases, according to which a category is assigned, can be found in a special document called the "Schedule of Diseases". The list is quite extensive, for each specific disease doctors determine the degree and only after that a verdict is issued.
