Registration and sending to the service is impossible without passing all stages of a military medical examination. At the medical board, doctors check the conscript for the presence of diseases, and then determine the degree of fitness for service.

• "B-1",
• "B-2",
• "B-3",
• as well as "B-4".

Conscription Medical Commission

Medical military medical board includes 7 doctors:

• therapist;
• ophthalmologist;
• psychiatrist;
• surgeon
• otorhinolaryngologist;
• neuropathologist;
• dentist.

In accordance with the Regulations on the military medical examination, medical workers are only engaged in examination, that is, exclusively ascertaining the presence of diseases in a conscript. Their responsibilities do not include prescribing treatment or making diagnoses.

During the examination, the members of the medical board rely on external characteristics and medical documents prepared by the conscript:

• medical card from the clinic or an extract from it;
• blood and urine tests;
• fluorography,

Other documents will also be required, where diagnoses, therapy, examinations are indicated.

At the end of the examination, each of the doctors prepares his opinion and assigns his group of fitness for military service. Based on these scores, the chief physician decides on the final category.

If the members of the military medical board disagree, the conscript will be assigned the “lowest” fitness group. For example, if 6 doctors determine the category "B", and the seventh doctor - "C", then the head physician writes the category "C" as the final one.

In the future, if the draft board confirms this group of validity, it will be included in the military ID.

Example

While studying at an educational institution, Andrey B. was diagnosed with flat feet of the 3rd degree, however, during the drafting procedures, the conclusion was not confirmed. The draft medical board approved the young man's fitness group "B-4".

Army eligibility categories

There are 5 key categories of suitability. They are established according to a special document - the Schedule of Diseases. This act indicates the diseases, their degree, anthropometric data and other necessary information, which makes it possible to determine which of the groups corresponds to the quality of the conscript's health.

Key Categories

Group "A" - fit for military service. There are no restrictions on the type of troops in which it is recommended to serve.

"B" - fit for military service with some minor restrictions. They refer to the selection of recommended troops, which are marked with a number after the letter that determines the degree of fitness.

"B" - fit for service, but limited. The young man receives a military ID, but at the same time he is sent to the reserve.

"G" - temporarily unfit. For certain diseases, a temporary deferment is granted. At the end of the deferment, the recruit undergoes a second medical examination. If the state of health improves, the conscript will be sent to serve. If the state of health does not improve, the young man receives either a second deferral or a military ID.

If the commission is not sure about the authenticity of the medical documents or it has some questions about the candidate’s state of health, the young man is sent to a medical institution for an additional examination.

The examination is carried out to verify the diagnosis of the candidate. Diagnosis of the disease will be free of charge. If there are requirements to pay for medical services, you can safely write a complaint to the army commissariat or, alternatively, to the prosecutor's office.

Category "B"

The fitness category "B" is established subject to significant deviations in the current state of health of the candidate, which will not be an obstacle to military service. The described group is quite wide, it includes most of the diseases from the Schedule of Diseases. In this regard, the definition of the indicator of purpose was introduced. He divides group "B" into four subcategories with indices 1,2,3,4.

• chronic diseases not in exacerbated forms, as well as mild forms of allergies - deviations that do not entail serious malfunctions in the installations of the candidate's organs.

Description of shelf life B-3

This category of health is of the greatest interest to conscripts, since it is the widest and contains literally all conscription diseases from the Schedule of Diseases. This category is assigned for minor dysfunctions of various organs, treated diseases and residual effects of past diseases or fractures. A candidate with category "B-3" is fit for the army, but with restrictions on physical overload.

What troops are called up with the category "B-3"?

• crew members and drivers of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and installations for launching missile units and installations;
• guard units and other explosives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
• specialists of fuel and lubricants units, as well as other chemical units;
• maintenance and control of anti-aircraft missile systems.

The category of service "B-3" in the army does not make it possible either during conscription time or in the future to serve in the special forces and elite troops: the marines, airborne infantry, border troops and airborne forces. The legislation puts forward specific requirements for the candidate's state of health.

Health indicators for the health group "B-3" in the military card

Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

1. Height over 155 cm.
2. Visual acuity without correction 0.5/0.1.
3. Whisper speech 6/6.
4. Violations of color perception - no.

Anti-aircraft gunners, parts of fuel and lubricants:

1. Growth up to 180 centimeters.
2. Visual acuity without adjustment 0.5/0.1 units.
3. Speech (whisper) 5/5.
4. There are no violations of color perception.

Drivers and crew members of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, launch installations:

1. Height up to 180 cm.
2. Visual acuity: 0.5 / 0.1 - for drivers and 0.8 / 0.4 - for the crew.
3. Whispered speech: 6/6 for drivers, ¼ or 3/3 for crew.
4. There are no violations of color perception.

If the candidate does not agree with the conclusion of the military medical commission, he has the right to challenge it in a judicial or administrative procedure.

It is necessary to file a claim with the court before the day approved in the agenda for sending. When compiling it, one should adhere to strict formatting standards, otherwise the statement of claim will not be allowed to be considered.

How to change the expiration group in a military ID

During the medical examination, candidates with a borderline diagnosis often receive groups B4 or B3 instead of group C. In particular, this problem is relevant in the second half of the draft - at this time, the military commissariats are puzzled by the implementation of the plan for staffing the troops.

There are several solutions to this problem.

1. If you have not made a health examination report, you should ask the doctor for a referral for an additional examination from the military registration and enlistment office. It should be borne in mind that it is not uncommon for recruits to be assigned not the entire list of examinations. This may affect the results of the study on setting the fitness group. For this reason, it is required to know well the list of mandatory examinations to confirm diagnoses. It is also necessary to be careful when studying the notes made by the doctor on the form of the act and in the medical record.
2. If, after completing an additional examination, the military registration and enlistment office is going to establish a draft category, appeal this decision to a higher draft commission. To do this, you need to write an application with a request to be sent for a full-time control medical re-examination.

Video

From this video you will get more information on the category of group "B".

After passing the military commission, they put the B3 category on the military ID.

What does this mean, and what troops are they taking with it?

Or is there still a chance to "hang" from the army and stay at home?

Health groups

The military ticket indicates the soldier's fitness categories. They determine the young man's ability to serve in the Russian Armed Forces. An attempt to change the category is punishable by law. What are the features of each of the categories:

1. "A" indicates that the soldier has no health problems. It can be distributed among the special troops. destination.
2. "B" indicates that the young man has minor illnesses. But they do not exempt from the army.
   

   It is important to note: with group "B" also fall into the elite. A young man can serve in the Marine Corps, Airborne Forces, Aerospace Forces. He can become a scout, paratrooper or signalman. But these, so to speak, “chosen ones” will have load limits.

3. C guys are not called up in peacetime. Conscripts immediately fall into the reserve.
4. But "G" and "D" mean that the young man will be sent home. Moreover, the category "G", unlike "D", is temporary. For example, a young man is studying at a university and has a deferment.

Where can recruits with the subcategory "B3" serve?

Please note that in addition to the category of suitability, there are also subcategories. The soldier needs to know the decoding of these designations.

Each fitness group indicates in what form and type of troops of the Russian Federation a soldier can serve in the military.

For example, soldiers with the subcategory "A3" have slight vision problems. The conscript is fit for service in special. troops with subsequent selection.

• drivers;
• BMP crew;
• parts of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (not special purposes);
• motorized rifle units;
• anti-aircraft parts;
• anti-aircraft missile units;
• military supply units.

As you can see, a soldier with the mark "B3" is assigned to the military registration and enlistment office in the infantry. The guys are becoming the main force of the Russian army.

What job can you get after the army

Conscripts serve a year. After the army, the soldier returns home, and he faces the need to get a job.

Many young people believe that after serving, they can easily get any job. How disappointed they are when, upon returning home, they discover that not everything is so simple.

It is important to understand that after the army with the category "B3" there are advantages when joining the police. Working in the bodies, you can get additional education in your specialty and replenish the officer corps.

Please note that if you have a military ID with the entry "B3", but did not do military service, then this is a very bad indicator.

Subcategory "B3" does not exempt the young man from service. If a young man has a military ID, but he was not in the army, then there are doubts about the authenticity of this document. So in this case, there is little chance that he will be hired for a prestigious job.

The mission of every young person is to protect his family, country, homeland. Realizing this, the young man will at least serve in the army, receive certain skills in military affairs and be transferred to the reserve. Such a school of life is useful to everyone.

She forms a real man out of a boy, able to prove his loyalty to the fatherland and courage in practice. And the Motherland does not forget this. A conscript soldier is given good opportunities to get a job in the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation.

When examining a conscript, only five categories are distinguished, so that it is easier to distinguish between them, they are indicated by letters. The digital index indicates the suitability of the conscript for military service. For example, the B3 fitness category indicates that a conscript can serve on an equal footing with other military personnel, and no special restrictions on service are foreseen, but it is unlikely that you will be able to get into elite troops.

What does the letter "B" in the category indicate?

The category is established during a medical examination by a special commission, which determines whether the conscript is fit for military service or not. Any letter indicates restrictions on military service. The letter "B" indicates that the conscript has some deviations associated with minor health problems, but this does not mean at all that he cannot serve the Motherland and join the army. As a rule, category B3 among recruits may indicate that a young person has minor dental problems, hemorrhoids or other diseases that are not serious, but this does not prevent him from serving.

Category B3 can be given even to people who have a predisposition to asthma, but this fact is taken into account when they are assigned to the service. The conscript can still go to the army. At the same time, for example, he will not be sent to a warehouse with chemical products, but he can be a driver. If a person has problems with the musculoskeletal system or minor visual and hearing disorders, then he can also be given category B3 in the army. What troops are available to him? Yes, almost all that are included in the B3 category, except that he will not be able to be a driver. But he can feel calm in the warehouse.

If there are minor problems with the circulatory system or heart, then this category is also issued, and the conscript can fully serve in the army in special units.

What does the number "3" indicate?

The commission not only determines the letter, but also puts a digital index on the military ID. For example, a letter and a number indicate when the B3 category is given in the army, which troops may be available to the conscript. Most often, this means that the young man is suitable for military service, but there are still some restrictions in certain branches of the military. For such conscripts, special troops and positions are selected, therefore, when distributing to the service, all this must be taken into account. The letter designation and digital index are also displayed on the military ticket.

What military professions are available under category B3?

Naturally, every recruit who has been assigned a B3 fitness category is interested in what position he can hold and in which troops he will be sent to serve. Young people who fall under this category will be able to count on the following specialties:

If the conscript does not agree with the established category, he will be able to challenge the conclusion of the draft commission, even if the B3 category is on the military ID. In any case, even after serving in the above units, you can then get a job in law enforcement agencies. Of course, if a conscript wants to serve in the elite troops and then continue military affairs, then a challenge to the category and its increase is required, but this can only be done through the courts. Until the court resolves the dispute, a conscript cannot be drafted into the army.

Norms of medical examination for category B3

A conscript who receives category B3 must comply with the following medical examination standards:

Of course, each profession has its own requirements, so they must be taken into account by the commission when distributing young people for military service in the army.

Features of category B3

Many are interested in what category B3 gives in the army, which troops correspond to it. It should be noted that a young man who has received this category can safely serve in the army, but there will still be some restrictions on his service. A conscript can freely serve on guard, as well as in other parts of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The category can only be set by the commission, so it will not be possible to determine it on its own, but in any case, the decision can always be challenged. Category B3 can be increased and, conversely, lowered, but it will be possible to do this only through the court.

How to challenge category B3 in court

A special commission, which includes expert bodies, will be able to re-check whether the B3 category in the army was correctly assigned to the conscript, which troops are suitable for his service. It is they who carry out the control and examination of the young man. Not only physical health, but also mental health will be taken into account, and on the basis of this, a conclusion is made what kind of activity the future fighter can be involved in. In order for the court to order a review of the category, it is also necessary to provide an objective reason. As a rule, such requests are made if it is necessary to reduce the category in order to be able to receive a deferment from service, in some cases, complete release.

Many who go to serve in the army seriously think about the question of where they will take them with category B3, but there is no need to worry much, since even with this category the choice of troops is quite extensive. As you can see, category B3 does not severely limit the conscript and leaves him with almost all the same opportunities that other conscripts have. For example, many young people, having served in the army, then go to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It will not work to get into elite units with this category, so this must be taken into account when passing the commission and immediately express disagreement with the category established by the commission.

To serve for the good of the Motherland is the duty of every man. Young men are attracted to the call, who have reached the age of 18.

Who determines the eligibility category?

The recruiting campaign begins from the service of the summons, and then the passage of a special medical commission.

It consists of seven specialists: a psychiatrist, a therapist, a surgeon, a neuropathologist, an otolaryngologist, an ophthalmologist and a dentist.

The commission issues a conclusion on the assignment of a certain group, taking into account the state of health.

Five main classes of fitness for military service

The members of the military medical commission determine the category based on the Schedule of Diseases, which shows where, according to the state of health, a young man can be sent to serve. There are five in total categories of fitness for service in the armed forces:

1. "A" - fit for service. There is an opportunity to become a military elite troops. There are no restrictions on the selection of branches of the armed forces.
2. "B" - fit for service in the army, but there are certain contraindications to physical activity due to health. After the name of the category, a digital index is used - an indicator of the selection of the type of troops, taking into account the existing deviations in the composition of health.
3. "B" - partially fit for service. After the presentation of the military card, the man is sent to the reserve. "G" - temporarily unusable. At the end of the examination of the young man, the commission makes a decision and appoints a delay in connection with his illness, as well as the possibility of further treatment. At the end of the line, a second military - medical examination is performed, after which the category of fitness is determined or a military ID is awarded.
4. "D" - not fully fit for service. The young man is removed from the register, and is never called up again.

There is an opinion among young men that having received category B3 in a military ID, may be completely unfit for service. Although this is just a fantasy.

What does category B3 entry mean on a military ID?

On the basis of a medical examination, a decision is made to assign category B3 to a conscript if he has minor health problems.

According to the disease schedule these include: hearing problems, asthma, problems with the musculoskeletal system, skin diseases, allergies and a number of other diseases that are not a direct contraindication to serving in the armed forces.

After the relevant documents are filled out, information about the state of health is individually transmitted directly to the place of service.

List of acceptable professions with category B3:

Worker in a warehouse with fuel and lubricants. Driver of an armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle. A serviceman may hold the position of operator or crew member of special military equipment.

It is allowed to serve in the missile and anti-aircraft troops. Perhaps the passage of the army in the internal service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

By what standards is the category B3 determined?

During a medical examination the following aspects are taken into account.

The ophthalmologist determines the visual acuity and compares the results with the boundary value - 0.5:0.1. Determine the color difference.

Exclusion of color blindness. The degree of understanding of whispered speech is investigated.

There is a clearly defined limit on the growth of the conscript: not less than 155 centimeters and not more than 180 centimeters.

Attention and again attention!

Only the military commission has the right to assign a category of fitness with its inclusion in a personal file and a military ID. It is she who makes all the necessary entries in the relevant documents. After all the necessary paperwork is completed, the young man is asked endorse the document.

Very often, when filling out a military ticket, mistakes are made that can adversely affect the receipt of a driver's license or permit (license) to carry weapons, further military service.

Can the committee's decision be challenged?

Sometimes there are disagreements about the appointment of a category and the choice of a service branch. If there is a question of reducing the category with the possibility of further deferment from service, or from its complete release, then with such a claim it is worth go to court.

It is there that it is worth providing all the necessary evidence that would become indisputable evidence that it is worth reviewing and amending the definition of the category of fitness for military service.

As a rule, young men, as well as their relatives, are very interested in the results of the examination conducted by the medical board, which they must undergo at the age of 17. It is at this age that recruits are examined before being registered with the military commissariat. Then they are assigned categories, on the basis of which they determine exactly where they can do military service.

In total, conscripts are divided into five different categories:

• A - the complete absence of any problems with well-being;
• B - satisfactory health, slight restrictions;
• B - limited fitness for military service;
• G - temporarily unfit for conscription into the Armed Forces;
• D is unsuitable.

Recognized as "fit"

In general, the medical commission has the right to grant, among other things, exemption from military service. It all depends on which category the young man will be assigned to.

Category B is associated, albeit minor, but limitations. It includes 4 groups - from 1st to 4th. In general, a recruit assigned to this category actually has normal health, which will give him the right to serve as well as the rest. True, he will not be able to enter those types of troops that are considered elite. These, in particular, include the Airborne Forces or the Marine Corps.

What military professions are available to the third group in category B

Troika in this case is, in fact, an indicator of restrictions on certain military specialties, types of troops and positions.

Young men who fall into this category are taken to the following specialties:

• provision and storage of automotive fuel;
• drivers of infantry fighting vehicles, air defense systems, armored personnel carriers;
• a member of the crew of the above machines;
• anti-aircraft missile forces;
• internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Whatever the results of the medical examination, if they are in doubt, the recruit has the right to challenge them in the same way as the conclusion of the draft board based on such data. Lawyers recommend that it is the verdict of the draft board that should be appealed, because as a result, further procedures for the recruit are suspended, and until the completion of the review, he cannot be drafted into the Armed Forces.

The medical examination data for this category are as follows:

• vision - within 0.5: 0.1 - 6: 6;
• hearing sensitivity for whispered speech from 1:4 to 6:6;
• color weakness of the 2nd and 3rd degrees was not detected;
• no dichromacy;
• height from 155 to 180 centimeters;

Other categories

In that situation, if the conscript was assigned category B or D, in the future he may have certain difficulties in the process of employment. He, most likely, will not be able to apply for service in such departments:

1. Law enforcement agencies.
2. Federal Security Service.
3. Penitentiary Service.
4. Ministry of Emergency Situations.
5. Foreign Intelligence Service.

However, not so long ago, the Regulations regulating the procedure for conducting a military medical examination were put into effect. Currently, there is an opportunity to re-examine. True, this is provided for those who were classified as category B, that is, recognized as partially fit.

In peacetime, such citizens are not taken into the troops, but they are nevertheless transferred to the reserve with the issuance of a military ID. That way, if there is a war, they will still serve in the army.

Since 2005, the mandatory re-examination has been abolished. Diseases in which the conscript may be in this category are as follows:

• tuberculosis;
• oncology;
• mental problems;
• incontinence;
• dystrophy;
• height less than 1.5 meters;
• poor eyesight and hearing;
• pathology of the nervous system, etc.

If the conscript believes that his health has improved and wants to change the category, he has the right to re-test. In this case, special marks will be added to the military ID. This will allow, if necessary, to go to work in law enforcement organizations, etc.
