All men - citizens of the Russian Federation bear military duty, which consists in performing military service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the country. In case of evasion of service, the man faces criminal liability.
Constitutional duty
Military service - performance of a constitutional duty. According to the Federal Law "On Military Duties", draft citizens of the country aged 18 to 27 years who reside on its territory are subject to draft. Non-residents are not subject to draft and are not even included in military records. Since January 1, 2008, the service life has become equal to one year.
It is possible to carry an alternative service. But its term exceeds 12 months and is equal to 18-21 months. Such a right is granted only in the presence of special evidence.
Persons who have graduated from military departments become officers and are credited to the reserve.
When a young man turns 17, he must undergo a medical examination. The commission of doctors examines the young man, identifies diseases, pathologies and issues a verdict on whether he is suitable for service or not. If he is fit to serve, then an attributed certificate is issued to him. At 18, the young man receives a summons from the military enlistment office. Next, he will go through a second medical commission. Possible reasons for the delay are identified. Higher and secondary vocational schools provide a reprieve for a young person during their studies, this rule does not apply to external students. If there is no evidence not to serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the guy is informed of the date and time when he will need to come to the military enlistment office with things.
Call day
On the day of the draft, the guy must come with everything necessary to the district military registration and enlistment office. All conscripts are sent by bus to the central collection point. There is another medical commission. Only healthy and strong young men should fall into the army. Further, representatives of military units communicate with conscripts, talk about army everyday life, what you need to prepare for and what absolutely can not be done. Everyone is given the form of privates. Things that cannot be taken with you to the unit are seized and sent by mail to the home address. If the private soldier for some reason did not receive the distribution in the unit, then he lives for some time in the recruiting center.
It happens that after the third medical commission, a young man is medically declared unfit for service, and he is sent back home.
