List of diseases that are not accepted into the army in 2017

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 accepted 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 2015-2017.

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.

- diseases of the musculoskeletal system - severe scoliosis, grade 3 flat feet and others;

- gastrointestinal diseases - all types of ulcers, polyps, etc.;

- diseases of the urinary system - nephritis, pyelonephritis, urolithiasis;

- endocrine diseases - diabetes, obesity;

— pathologies of the organs of vision;

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 not be noticed. 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?

Comments:

Modern conscripts are often interested in what diseases prevent them from joining the army. Often these are pronounced pathologies, such as mental retardation, various degrees of schizophrenia, visual or hearing impairment, or the absence of any limb.

A short review

If there are no obvious pathologies, but there are certain diseases, then the conscript is required to undergo medical examinations. They will allow you to decide on the prescription of treatment or determine how severely a particular body function is impaired. In the first case, a deferment is always expected, after which the young person is required to undergo a re-examination.

Dismissal from the army due to illness can occur if a soldier has:

  • impaired speech intelligibility;
  • enuresis;
  • fecal incontinence;
  • heart problems.

Such problems cause contraindications to service, as they can worsen a person’s health. But if the doctors of the medical unit have doubts about a particular case, they assemble a special medical commission, which makes a final decision on medical discharge.

List of diseases that qualify for exemption from the army

There are a number of diseases that, depending on the type and form of their course, can give a conscript a deferment.

Severe infections. If a young man is diagnosed with active tuberculosis (pulmonary or extrapulmonary), HIV or leprosy, then his entry into the army is prohibited. As for tuberculosis or syphilis, such diseases are treatable, therefore, after completing the prescribed course, the conscript is required to undergo a re-examination.

Young people who are found to have:

  • intestinal infection;
  • bacterial or viral disease;
  • rickettsiosis;
  • gonococcal or chlamydial infection;
  • mycoses provoked by fungal spores.

After completing the course of treatment, if the disease does not disappear, the person is released from service.

Neoplasms. If during an examination by the commission a malignant or benign tumor or metastases were discovered, the conscript is sent for rehabilitation therapy, since this is a direct contraindication and exemption from service. If for some reason a young man refuses treatment for a neoplasm, then he will also not be allowed to join the army.

After completing the course, the conscript is required to undergo a re-examination.

Obesity of the 3rd, 4th degree. This creates a threat to human health, therefore, instead of being drafted into the army, such men are sent to faradization, during which a deferment will apply. If therapy is unsuccessful, a document stating that you are unfit for service is issued.

Diabetes mellitus. Regardless of the class and form of the disease, such a patient will not be called up for service. This disease cannot be completely cured, it can only be corrected, and, alas, there are no opportunities for this in modern army service.

Diseases of the endocrine system. If there are problems in the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, parathyroid and reproductive glands, adrenal glands, gout, eating disorders and hypovitaminosis, then this will impose restrictions on the service.

In cases where the body mass index is less than 18.5, the conscript is sent for further examination to an endocrinologist, who, in turn, prescribes therapy.

Mental and nervous system disorders as a contraindication

Mental disorder. This reason is the most common today among those wishing to evade service. But in reality, it is quite difficult to portray mental retardation, schizophrenia, personality disorder and other similar diseases. But if the conscript is actually sick with one of these things, then he will not be accepted into the army, and besides, his parents and the local psychiatrist are notified. If a person knows about his mental disorders, then he must provide the medical commission with a certificate from the psychiatrist with whom he is registered.

Addiction to drugs or alcohol. In this case, there must also be a certificate of registration at a drug treatment clinic, and the diagnosis is re-confirmed after examination in a hospital.

Epilepsy. This disease is unacceptable for the army in any of its manifestations, except symptomatic. This disease is caused by damage to the brain.

Diseases of the nervous system. This parish includes:

  • multiple sclerosis;
  • paresis;
  • paralysis;
  • disease and injuries of the brain and spinal cord.

In this case, the conscript will not be suitable for the army.

If such a pathology is temporary (for example, after surgery), then the young man is given a deferment of six months or a year. After the specified period has passed, he is obliged to come for a re-examination.

Disease of the organs of vision. In addition to blindness, contraindications to the army are strabismus, severe myopia or farsightedness, pathology of the upper and lower eyelids, and glaucoma. In the case where the eye disease does not cause decreased vision, the conscript is considered fit for service, but with certain restrictions.

Disease of the hearing organs, disturbance of the vestibular apparatus. As for ear diseases, this means chronic bilateral or unilateral otitis media, perforation of the eardrum, and deafness. If the disease can be cured, the conscript is prescribed a course of treatment, followed by a second medical examination.

No matter what disorders there are in the vestibular apparatus, a man does not end up in the army. But here it is immediately worth noting that motion sickness while riding in transport or seasickness have nothing to do with this.

Diseases, contraindications in the army

Heart diseases. Medical diversions are considered to be grades 2,3,4 of heart failure, defects, coronary disease and other similar processes that aggravate the functioning of the “engine”. If a young man is diagnosed with functional class 1 heart failure, then he will go into the army, but will have “minor restrictions” in his activities.

Hypertension and vascular diseases. When, during an examination by a medical commission, young people with blood pressure of 150/100 are discovered, they are immediately sent to the hospital to determine the diagnosis. If hypertension of the 2nd or higher class is detected, then the path to the army is closed.

When diagnosing blood vessels, we take into account how disrupted the blood flow is and how much this affects the functioning of internal organs. If hemorrhoids are in the last stages of development, then this will be a contraindication.

Respiratory diseases. If there is unhealthy discharge from the nose, it is difficult to breathe, or the conscript has a history of lung diseases that were accompanied by breathing complications, then such a young man will not be accepted into the military ranks. If there are minor violations, then there will be a note about restrictions on activities.

Bronchial asthma. This disease, regardless of the degree and severity of the attacks, sends the conscript to the “reserve ranks”.

Dental diseases. This item also includes diseases of the jaw and digestive system. If a man does not have more than 9 teeth in the upper or lower jaw or has another jaw disease that leads to complications in breathing, smelling, chewing and swallowing food, and also negatively affects the intelligibility of speech, then in this case treatment will be prescribed, which will automatically grants a deferment or releases from service. The same applies to severe forms of colitis and enteritis, fistulas and pathologies of the esophagus and intestines.

For a young guy, military service is mandatory. However, the Ministry of Defense annually approves a list of diseases, the presence of which conscripts are exempt from military service. What diseases will be exempt from military service in 2018?

Useful information about diseases for which young men are exempt from military service in 2018

  1. Military service requires a good level of health; troops require endurance, physical abilities, and psychological stability in crisis situations;
  2. In 2018, as part of the annual practice, an updated list of restrictions on the recruitment of military personnel with health problems is being formed;
  3. The list implies the division of all conscripts into several categories: those suitable for service in certain types of troops, some are completely exempt;
  4. The list of diseases 2018 contains more than 730 items;
  5. If one of the diseases is present, the potential conscript receives a certificate of exemption, a military ID with a prescribed health group;
  6. A common reason for a conscript being denied admission to the service is spinal curvature (the acceptable threshold is 17 percent);
  7. To be granted an exemption, you must undergo a medical examination yourself in advance.

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes the reasons for the postponement or complete exemption of the male part of the population from military duty. In 2018, the list also underwent some changes. Therefore, it will be useful for a future potential conscript and parents to learn about all the nuances of the issue under consideration.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, young people with certain types of diseases are not conscripted into the army. This is due to the specifics of military service - the use of firearms, maintenance and management of military equipment, and handling of secret documents.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

But, in order to make sure that the young man belongs to one or another group of people, you need to study the list of diseases with which young people are not accepted into the army in 2019.

Regulatory framework

The main regulator of the issue regarding the possibility of not joining the army is Federal Law 53 Art. 23 of 1998, edited in 2019, in which the health characteristics of the young man are cited as the reason for not being able to serve in the military. According to this statement, fitness categories were formed, according to which the suitability of a young person is determined.

In addition, there are separate by-laws that establish additional rules regarding conscription into the army:

Schedule of illnesses

This is a document according to which a medical examination is carried out in order to determine the categories of citizens. It is this document that contains a list of diseases that prevent young people from being recruited into the army.

Interesting! According to the experience of medical workers, 97% of young people of military age are carriers of non-conscription diseases, but at the same time consider themselves absolutely healthy.

The schedule was drawn up taking into account the severity of diseases, the presence of which is not acceptable in harsh army conditions. The list of diseases is constantly updated; in 2014, a new edition was published, which is fully valid for the period 2015–2017.

Important! The presence of category D diseases completely eliminates military service.

List of diseases for which they are not accepted into the army

If a conscript has one of the listed diseases, he will not face conscription.

Medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office

Medical examination is a mandatory procedure for every young man in order to determine his fitness category. This procedure is carried out by a commission consisting of doctors who are specialists in a narrow field of medicine. They are usually invited from state clinics.

Important! At the same time, they do not establish a diagnosis or conduct an in-depth examination - their main task is to find out the general condition of the conscript’s body through various measurements, weighing and studying the results obtained.

In addition, they must study the received documents containing the conscript’s medical history, the conclusions of other specialists, and study the results of existing laboratory tests. After all these stages have been completed, doctors compare their findings with the schedule of the disease and indicate in the young man’s documents whether he is fit or not.

If a situation occurs where doctors cannot come to a common denominator, then the young man is sent for a medical examination to a government agency.

Interesting! In these cases, illnesses that previously existed or were suspected by the commission often disappear.

After receiving the results of the medical examination, the commission makes a final decision.

Important! You can appeal both the commission’s conclusion and the medical examination, but appealing the final conclusion is much more important.

Temporary deferment

A deferment is a temporary suspension from conscription into the army, which lasts no more than 2 conscriptions. After the end of this period, another examination by the commission is carried out and a final verdict is made.

In this case, the reason for obtaining a deferment must be confirmed by the conclusion of the doctors of the state clinic and be included in the list of illnesses. In addition, the conscript should not have a deferment for other reasons, for example, due to study.

Among the diseases that can provide a delay are the following:

  • infectious diseases in the acute phase or complications after outbreaks;
  • neoplasms and blood diseases that arise as a result of previous operations or as a consequence of complications;
  • acute condition associated with disruption of the endocrine system;
  • nutritional and metabolic disorders;
  • mental short-term illnesses caused by brain damage;
  • disorder of the nervous system as a result of previous operations or a crisis;
  • organs of vision and hearing due to surgical intervention, which requires a recovery period;
  • problems of any direction with the circulatory system of the 1st degree;
  • digestive system, respiratory organs and skin – temporary functional disorders without relapse for 3 years;
  • genitourinary system, postoperative condition and testicular hydrocele.

There are also some congenital problems that do not pose a threat to human life and do not cause disharmony in the functioning of the entire body.

If the conscript does not agree with the conclusion of the military registration and enlistment office

In the case where a young man has received a summons, but he does not agree to serve, since he has good reasons for this, he must act as follows:

  • come to the commission at the appointed time and pass it;
  • if the commission has made a conclusion about its suitability, it is necessary to obtain an extract from the compiled protocol;
  • then go with a complaint to the court or regional draft commission;
  • in addition, it is necessary to write a statement to the prosecutor's office, the internal affairs department, the military commissariat, stating that the commission's decision has been appealed, and forced sending or an attempt to open a criminal case will be illegal. In this case, it is necessary to attach a copy of the receipt for payment of the state duty and a copy of the claim to the court;
  • in case of persistent actions, the applicant will receive a message from the commissariat about the cancellation of conscription during this period;
  • if the court decision is not in favor of the applicant, you can appeal to higher authorities;
  • After the end of the conscription campaign, it is necessary to obtain a certificate of the unrealized decision to enlist in the army.

Questions about conscription into the army sooner or later arise among young people, as well as their parents. Someone does not see prospects for themselves (or their son) in military affairs. Other people, on the contrary, want to direct their (son's) career into this honorable industry. But it's not just about desires and preferences. Suitability is important! In order for the draft commission to be able to make its verdict on whether the conscript is fit for military service or not, the guy needs to undergo a serious medical examination. Based on health indicators, the possibility of serving in the army is determined. Also, based on health conditions, the type of military service suitable for each specific conscript is selected.

Poor vision and various ophthalmological disorders can serve as a reason for issuing a “white ticket” or a legal deferment from the army. But there are also eye diseases for which people are taken into the army, although with some restrictions on service.

It is worth understanding that the mandatory health parameters that are taken into account when determining a person’s suitability or unsuitability for military service are described in detail in the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval of the Regulations on military medical examination, No. 565 (2013).” All eye diseases and pathologies associated with the functioning of the visual organs are described in articles 29–36.

According to this resolution, it is customary to distinguish several main categories of fitness for military service:

  • A - fit for service, as he is absolutely healthy.
  • B – fit for military service, but with minor restrictions, as there are minor health problems.
  • B – fit with limitation.
  • D - temporarily unfit (gives a temporary deferment from military service), there are diseases that require a quick recovery and restoration of main functions.
  • D – not suitable, as there are absolute health restrictions.

It is important to note that the listed groups of restrictions can be supplemented by numerical designations that allow the conscript to be suitable for a certain type of military. There is a clear list of troops in which conscripts with health limitations can serve.

What diseases do people take into the army?

If a conscript has vision problems, this does not mean that he will definitely not join the army. It all depends on the degree of neglect, the nature of the disease and the presence of complications. There are eye pathologies with which a young man will be accepted for military service, but with some restrictions.

For example, significant and minor restrictions on service are imposed in cases of mild and moderate changes in the anatomical structure, position of the eyelids, orbits and conjunctiva. If such diseases are not of a pronounced nature and are not burdened by complications, then group B or C can be established. Minor or moderate disorders in the area of ​​the lacrimal ducts, eye sockets, and eyelids are also noted as mild restrictions.

  1. Simple uncomplicated blepharitis.
  2. Seasonal allergic lesions of the conjunctiva.
  3. Follicular conjunctivitis with the presence of single follicles.
  4. True or false wing hymen.

Listed above are only some variants of pathologies associated with damage to the eyelids, conjunctiva and lacrimal ducts with which military service is permitted. A complete list of such diseases and restrictions on them can be seen in article No. 29 of the above-mentioned document.

Impaired refraction and accommodation of the eyes does not always provide an absolute limitation for military service. For example, myopia or farsightedness of any eye for category “B” should be expressed within the range of 8.0 diopters – 12.0 diopters. Myopia of any eye degree from 3.0 diopters to 6.0 diopters is included in group B-3.

If we talk about color vision impairment, it can be noted that color weakness of 1-3 degrees allows military service with minor restrictions. It follows from this that color blindness is not always a contraindication for military service.

Impaired visual acuity is not always a limitation either. For example, an acuity of more than 0.4 in both eyes is considered a reason for only some restrictions, but does not exclude the service as a whole. Visual acuity parameters are taken into account with and without correction. To objectively assess the results, additional control research methods can be used.

Some chronic eye diseases do not impose strict restrictions on military service. For example, if the process of pathological changes does not progress and exacerbates no more than 2 times a year, then the assessment of readiness for military service is carried out taking into account changes in eye function.

The presence of benign neoplasms that do not interfere with the optical function of the visual organ is not a contraindication for service in military structures.

Retinal detachment is a rather serious pathology. However, in case of unilateral damage or in cases where the pathology of traumatic origin suggests suitability with restrictions. Young people suffering from glaucoma of one eye, the initial stage or pre-glaucoma are classified as category B.

Lesions of the eye muscles, characterized by concomitant strabismus with the absence of binocular vision, not accompanied by diplopia, are classified as having minor limitations.

From all of the above, we can conclude that people are recruited into the army with mild eye diseases. If the impairments caused by certain pathologies are mild or moderate in nature and do not imply the possibility of blindness or other dangerous changes, then the conscript is classified as “fit with limitations.”

It is also important to pay attention to the category that involves a deferment from military service “G”. It includes diseases that involve temporary disorders (curable) or pathologies that arrive at the stage of progression or exacerbation, but with a favorable prognosis.

What diseases are not accepted into the army?

Particular attention should be paid to those types of visual impairment that are not accepted into the army at all.

As a rule, absolute unfitness for service in any army is determined by category “D”. This group includes all diseases characterized by serious irreversible changes in the tissues of the eye and disturbances in optical function. This category also includes all pronounced anatomical pathologies of the lacrimal canals, eyelids, and conjunctiva.

Glaucoma above the initial stage is also a reason for legal exemption for compulsory military service.

We can highlight a list of the most common ophthalmological diseases, which, with appropriate characteristics, define group “D”:

  • High degree of myopia (above 12 diopters).
  • Severe retinal detachment of non-traumatic origin.
  • Glaucoma (above the initial stage) of both eyes.
  • Chronic conjunctivitis, which occurs with complications and exacerbates more often than 2-3 times a year.
  • Severe congenital pathologies associated with eye deformation.
  • Absolute blindness.
  • Astigmatism of any eye with a diffraction difference of more than 6D.

Simply put, any ophthalmological disease in progression or characterized by serious complications causing dysfunction of the optical apparatus is a reason for obtaining a military ID without military service. If such diseases develop during service, the guy may be discharged.

The reason for assigning a conscript to group “D” may be injuries, surgical operations and diseases leading to serious impairment of eye function. To establish an accurate diagnosis, you will need to undergo a serious medical examination. Only a specialist in the field of ophthalmology can accurately determine the level of certain damages, disorders and changes.

It is worth understanding that it is impossible to simulate serious diseases of the ophthalmological apparatus. With a detailed examination, even a novice ophthalmologist will be able to detect deception. Modern diagnostic equipment and effective examination techniques do not give a chance for serious and minor vision pathologies to go unnoticed. But also all current methods of studying eye health make it possible to see real disorders in the designated area and exclude far-fetched or erroneous diagnoses.

Useful information for conscripts and their parents

Unconditional diagnoses that define a conscript as “unfit” include only diseases associated with impaired accommodation and refraction. Other diseases may imply only mild or significant restrictions on military service.

To ensure that the commission does not have additional questions and does not have a reason to send the young man for additional examination, special attention must be paid to the main diseases that give the right to ignore military service.

  • When diagnosing retinal detachment, a specialist must determine the exact cause of the disease.
  • In cases of injury to the eyeball and adjacent tissues, the ophthalmologist must clearly indicate the degree of damage and the nature of subsequent changes in the functionality of the visual organ.
  • When diagnosing glaucoma, it is necessary to obtain a clear description of the severity and stage of the disease.
  • In case of chronic conjunctivitis, the disorders provoked by this disease, the nature of its occurrence, and the number of exacerbations should be described in detail.

Any disease in the stage of progression or exacerbation provides a deferment or complete exemption from military service. Of course, specialists know this. It is important that the doctor describes in detail the recommendations, including those that directly indicate the need for a gentle lifestyle.
