The beginning of the war period for young people of Russia is 18 years old, guys who have reached this age are called up for military service. However, before being sent to a particular type of troops, conscripts go through a military commission that determines how fit a soldier is for service.
When called up for military service, a series of events are carried out, one of which is the passage of a medical examination. It is on it that the commission of medical specialists determines the so-called "degree of fitness" for service. Depending on the conclusion the doctors will make, the young man will either be called up or found unfit for military service.
Service eligibility categories
There are 5 categories of "suitability" of a draftee. Category A is valid. This is an absolute correspondence, young people who are recognized fit are drafted into the army.
Category B is valid, but there are minor restrictions. As in the previous category, these guys are called up for military service, but in those branches of the army where there is less intense physical activity.
In - is limitedly suitable. Those who fall into this category are not called up for service - they are issued a military ID, and young people are credited to the reserve.
D - temporarily unfit for military service (usually a draftee is granted a delay of 6 months to 1 year). This category is assigned to those who are ill at the time of the commission, are being treated in a hospital or undergoing rehabilitation after a disease or injury.
Category D - not suitable, cannot be drafted into the army (military ticket is issued, and the draftee is exempted from service).
