Instruction manual
1
Contact the military commissariat. There should keep lists of distribution of draftees. However, they could send a young soldier from the military registration and enlistment office to the transfer post, and they may not know where they took him from there. However, when a recruit enters the dispenser, they must notify where he will go to serve further and give him the opportunity to inform his relatives about this. Unfortunately, in practice this is far from always the case.
2
If a lot of time has passed since the man left for the army, but the place of his service is still unknown, you can try to find a soldier by following his route at forwarding points. To do this, after finding out the place of the first transfer to the military registration and enlistment office, go there and demand a power of attorney by which the conscript was taken from the distributor. There should be indicated the military unit, the type of troops and the name and rank of the one who took the replenishment.
3
Then send a letter to this military unit.
4
Make sure your friend has the opportunity to contact you in advance. When escorting to the army, provide him with clean envelopes and stationery, because at the new duty station, there may be difficulties with purchases.
5
A reliable means of communication is an inexpensive cell phone. Parents must ensure that the young soldier is not left without communication. Find out the number in advance, replenish your friend's balance and wait for the call.
6
If you suspect that your friend may be sent to serve in a place of military conflict, you can contact the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers. They have the right to find out which of the young soldiers is sent to the "hot spots". Also, in this case, you can try to contact the Union of Veterans of Afghanistan or another similar organization that is in your city.
Do not lose hope, look for a person yourself and expect news from him. Sooner or later, your efforts will certainly succeed.
