Candidates who are unfit for health reasons, or whose personal file does not contain medical documents according to the specified list, are not allowed to competitive entrance examinations (clause 12 of the Procedure).

The procedure for entering a military school is very complicated. Before you go to the place of study, you need to look at the military registration and enlistment office together with your parents. Why with your parents, if deep down you already feel like an adult seasoned military man? The fact is that in the history of the educational institution there could be periods when almost completely kids were accepted there - this has been the case since then. And the leadership does not consider it necessary to abandon the idea of ​​coordinating with your parents not only the issue of your admission to a military school, but also the issue of your further compulsory education at a military university! And all this is not just in a conversation, but in a special report that parents must write. The position "now you will go to Suvorov, and then we'll see" is unacceptable.

At least in the year preceding admission, and better - even earlier, try to study well and not spoil relations with either the class teacher or the school principal, because you will be asked for a report card with grades for the last year of schooling and a testimonial from the school with signatures and official stamp . In this case, you need to indicate what language you studied at school, but do you know why? French, which is quite common in Russian schools, can become an obstacle to admission! For example, only those who studied English are taken to secondary educational institutions of the naval profile, and those who studied English or German at school are taken to the military music school.

When deciding to enter a military school, the most fundamental issue is health. You need to go through a detailed medical examination. Examinations may require the most unusual - from radiography of the paranasal sinuses with a description and pictures to one hundred percent sanitation of the oral cavity, followed by the issuance of a certificate of this. For a complete list of required documents, look at two sites - the military educational institution you want to enroll in, and the military educational institution closest to you (it is possible that the military command will reconsider your choice, guided by the geographical principle). It happens that everything is mixed up in this list - medical certificates, anthropometric data of the candidate (from height to shoe size and headgear), photographs with a place for a seal in the lower right corner, a certificate from the parents' place of residence indicating family composition and living conditions, documents on possible benefits and much more. In general, there are enough benefits here - and at the same time, even more documents are required from orphans (they are taken without exams) - almost a court decision on the establishment of guardianship. Mothers of the children of fallen soldiers (such children have the priority right to enroll) should also devote a lot of time to preparing the necessary papers.

Based on the mass of submitted documents, the selection committee will decide whether to allow you to enter the entrance examinations. And if the negative decision in this case is still subject to appeal, then the results of the tests themselves are no longer there.

Competition in a secondary military educational institution can be 4 people per place.

Admission campaign deadlines

Until June 20, personal lists of candidates admitted to the entrance examinations are submitted by the admission committee of the school to the central selection committee.

Until July 1, the central selection committee generates personal lists taking into account your place of residence (but regardless of which school you have chosen yourself) and sends them to the selection committees of schools on time for competitive entrance examinations (including using field committees) .

The higher VVK (VLK) informs the applicant and the VVK (VLK) about the results of the study of the submitted documents and the decision taken, the conclusion of which was appealed.

Service in the ranks of the Russian army for the vast majority of the male population is mandatory and is provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation - as the fulfillment of an honorable duty to ensure the defense capability of the state. It imposes certain requirements not only on the moral and ethical qualities of military personnel, but also rather stringent requirements for the state of health. Increased physical activity, stressful situations, participation in military exercises or hostilities, assignment to serve in regions with special climatic conditions - may be unbearable for some military personnel. Therefore, the state, first of all, cares not only about the number of those called up for service, but also about their health.
For these purposes, all those who are subject to conscription into the ranks of the Russian Army, before putting on uniforms and taking the oath, are carefully selected for health reasons. For this, draft medical commissions work at military commissariats, through which all conscripts, candidates for admission to military universities and persons who decide to conclude a contract for service in the RA pass at least 2 times.

The procedure for passing the military medical commission
For the first time, the medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office at the place of registration (residence) is passed by conscripts who received a registration certificate at the age of 17 years. To do this, they are sent a summons with an invitation to appear for a medical examination at a set time.
Civilian specialists recruited from medical institutions for the period of conscription into the army work in the medical commissions at military registration and enlistment offices. Their composition is unchanged and includes:
- Dentist

Neurologist;

Therapist;

Psychiatrist;

Optometrist;

Otorhinolaryngologist;

Usually conscription en masse produced spring and autumn. The rest of the time, military medical boards examine applicants for military universities and persons concluding a contract for military service. The involvement of civilian specialists allows maintaining impartiality and objectivity in assessing the health of candidates for military service, since doctors are not interested in giving a biased assessment of the candidate's health.
The term for passing a military medical examination is 1 day and consists in an examination and instrumental examination by a number of specialist doctors, each of whom personally examines and examines the candidate and issues a separate conclusion on the state of health with a determination of the degree of suitability for service. After passing through all the specialists of the draft commission, the chairman makes an opinion on the degree of suitability of each candidate individually.
It should be remembered that the conclusion of even one of the specialist doctors about the unsuitability of a candidate for military service makes it impossible for him to serve as a whole. And the degree of suitability according to the results of the examination by all specialists is determined by the lowest suitability indicators determined by at least one doctor. In case of doubt or insufficiency of objective data on the candidate's state of health, he is sent for additional examinations to a medical institution at the place of residence (registration).

Eligibility for Service Candidates

There are 5 eligibility categories:
- A - suitable without restrictions;

B - good with certain restrictions

B - limited fit;

G - temporarily unfit;

D - completely unfit

The fitness category is not a sentence, and upon re-passing the military medical examination, the category may be changed depending on the improvement or deterioration in the candidate's health.
Unconditional conscription for fixed-term military service is subject to conscripts who are defined categories "A" or "B", the remaining categories imply either a delay of six months or a year from conscription so that the conscript can undergo the necessary treatment and restore health, or complete exemption from service with the issuance of a military ID (category "D").
For candidates for contract service, the degree of suitability is more critical than for conscripts, since it depends on it whether a contract soldier will be able to serve in the troops that he has chosen as his occupation for the next 5 years.
Equally important is the category of suitability for applicants of military universities. Future officers are subject to increased requirements for health reasons, and for some military specialties associated with increased physical exertion, an absolute state of health is necessary.

Repeated and regular military medical examinations

Conscripts for urgent military service undergo a second medical examination in the same composition of medical specialists immediately before being drafted into the army. During the repeated medical examination (draft), either the degree of fitness previously determined is confirmed, or it is changed to another. In accordance with this, the recruits are distributed among the teams and sent to the troops.
For conscripts who were assigned categories "C" or "G" at the primary medical commission, a second medical examination is assigned after 6 or 12 months. In the event of an improvement in the state of health, the fitness category changes to "A" or "B" and they are subject to conscription into the army. If the category has not changed, a deferment from the call is again granted. Thus, for 10 years from the age of 17 to 27, some citizens liable for military service are not called up for military service due to the inconsistency of the fitness category with the health requirements for a military man. Sometimes the re-passing of the medical commission at the end of the deferral period is referred to as "control".
Regular military medical commissions are held only contract servicemen, military university entrants and officers (ensigns, midshipmen).
The composition of doctors remains the same, only they are examined not by civilians, but by military doctors from garrison hospitals as part of the annualmedical examinations.
For some military personnel (military pilots, drivers of military equipment, submariners, employees of the special forces) - passing a medical examination is mandatory before completing each combat mission or after it is completed.

Military medical commission for women

Women are not subject to conscription for urgent military service in Russia. However, about 300,000 military personnel in a wide variety of military branches are women. They occupy officer, staff, technical positions. Some even serve in special forces.
In general, the medical commission in terms of the composition of medical specialists and the procedure for passing it for women does not differ significantly from that for men.
Taking into account the physiology of the female body, gynecologists are included in the military medical board.
Of course, the requirements for resistance to physical activity for women are significantly reduced. The determination of the degree of suitability may depend on the state of pregnancy or the recovery period after the birth of a child. However, neither one nor the other prevents the passage of a military medical examination, the determination of the category of fitness and the enrollment of women in military universities or recruitment in a specialty.

Appealing the results of the military medical board

Depending on the goals of passing the medical examination - conscription for military service or vice versa - the decision to link their lives with military service, candidates may have completely different motives for disagreeing with the conclusions of the military medical examination.
For those who do not want to serve, the main task is to achieve the category "B" or "D" and, thanks to this, evade the service.
For a candidate who dreams of becoming an officer or a military specialist, on the contrary, it is to achieve the definition of a higher category in order to devote himself to serving in the chosen troops.
If a candidate for service does not agree with the conclusions of the military commission, he has the right to write a report addressed to the chairman of the commission and in the direction, or independently undergo an independent medical examination in a civilian (sometimes specialized) medical institution.
However, such a conclusion, although it is taken into account when determining the degree of fitness for military service, is not mandatory for doctors of the military commission if objective data on the state of health at the time of the examination indicate the full health of the recruit or, on the contrary, his critical condition.
There is also a judicial procedure for appealing the conclusions of the military medical board. This is often used by unscrupulous conscripts who want to receive a deferment from service or completely evade conscription.
The burden of proving the degree of fitness for military service falls entirely on the conscript who appeals the conclusions of the military medical commission in court. He bears all the costs of an independent medical examination, fees for lawyers. The Ministry of Defense does not make any compensation payments for incorrect determination of the fitness category.
