• There are no other persons legally required to support these citizens - and who is obliged to support is indicated in articles 80,85,87,89,90,93,94,95,97 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation - If there are other persons besides you legally required to care for your relative, even if they live in another city and do not care for your relative, then you lose the right to receive a deferment from the draft
• They are not on full state support - full state support is being in a home for the disabled or pensioners, being in orphanage, training in Suvorov and Nakhimov schools.

The gestation period must be at least 26 weeks.

Documents required for registration:

Which is better, respite or release from the army?

Note for all deferrals: They only work until their expiration date or until the reasons for which you received them disappear. And then you will be called again. In addition, military registration and enlistment office staff often persuade conscripts to choose a deferment even if they have health problems.

This is done so that you become a "fallback option" for the draft board. You are left on the draft lists so that in case of a shortfall and failure to fulfill the draft plan, there will always be people who can be drafted into the army (sometimes by force).

Remember that if you receive an exemption from the army, for example, for health reasons, then you will definitely not be called up. You need to find non-conscription diseases and confirm the fact of their presence with documents.

In contact with

Young people who do not have serious problems in good health, are required by law to serve in the army. However, many have their own plans for life, which must be implemented immediately, other reasons that do not allow them to serve in given period time.

What can serve as a reason for deferment from the army

Almost all young people who have reached the age of 18 are interested in the issue of deferment from the army. It's not that they don't want to serve, or they're afraid. There are good reasons for this. Some seek first to obtain a higher education necessary for life, others have health problems, or need to be near a sick relative who needs care.

Reason for respite from the army granted to conscripts by law, may become different reasons. For example, family circumstances. Family circumstances that are a reason not to go to the army in a specific period of time include the following situations:

• the presence of a young child, a wife who is in late pregnancy;
• the conscript alone raises a minor child when the mother does not provide material, physical assistance;
• the presence of a young child with a disability who is under three years old;
• having more than one child;
• guardianship of siblings who require material, other assistance, in the absence of other relatives;
• the presence of relatives requiring continuous care for medical reasons, in the absence of other relatives.

A situation may also arise when two brothers were called up for military service at once. In such a case, one of them may have the right to delay the call, and go to serve at the end of the service with another brother.

Reasons for deferment from the army may also be related to the state of health of the conscript himself, the need to obtain a higher education, as well as to some persons who have the need to continue their professional activity. If during the medical examination the recruit was found to have health problems, he will be released from the obligation to do military service for a period of one year, after which he will have to undergo a second examination at the military registration and enlistment office. If it was possible to delay the draft, the conscript is obliged to annually bring to the military registration and enlistment office the relevant documents confirming such a right.

Health status - important indicator, taken into account when passing a medical examination before military service. There are several diagnoses that allow you to delay the campaign in the army, or completely free a person from military service. With a diagnosis rhinosinusopathy respite from the army may also take place. A patient with rhinosinusopathy, as a rule, has difficulty breathing through the nose, frequent headaches of severe intensity, often symptoms similar to those of sinusitis. Based on this, we can conclude that rhinosinusopathy really prevents conscription, as it requires serious treatment. In addition, for a complete cure, it is necessary to adhere to the doctor's recommendations regarding lifestyle.

When is a delay

When is a deferment from the army given? This question interested most conscripts. As we said earlier, a young person who:

• plans to get an education, studying at daily form learning;
• according to the results of a medical examination, he was declared temporarily unfit for service;
• has family circumstances requiring his mandatory intervention, physical and financial support;
• received a profession related to civil servants, is an employee of the authorities.

Getting a higher education is milestone In human life. A call to service can interfere with the implementation of training plans. Therefore, in various forums on the Internet, you can find similar questions: “After graduating from the university, I decided to go to graduate school. Is there a deferment from military service in this situation?

Deferment from the army for graduate studies may occur, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

• postgraduate students are granted a three-year deferment;
• in order to receive a deferment, it is necessary to enroll in full-time education;
• the educational institution must have the appropriate accreditation;
• if a graduate student gains access to a thesis defense, he is entitled to an additional deferral of one year.

Usually, correspondence postgraduate studies does not give the right to reprieve from the army. Therefore, young people who do not want to serve in a particular period of time must either enroll in full-time education, or provide other motivation as a good excuse.

One of the good reasons not to join the army is get a deferment for the care of a grandmother. It should be remembered that for this it is necessary that certain conditions are met:

• care of the grandmother should be carried out exclusively by the grandson, without state assistance;
• documentary evidence is required that the grandmother needs continuous care;
• there should be no other relatives, or they do not have the opportunity to care for the elderly.

If the conscript has hypertension - respite from the army he certainly deserves it. But there are frequent cases when the conscript himself is negligent about the state of his health, and is silent about the increased pressure. Then there is a risk that the disease will not be recognized during the passage of the medical commission, and the young man will go to pay his debt to the Motherland.

Important! Medical professionals rush to announce:« In difficult conditions for the body of military service, available on this moment stage of the disease can flow into the next - more severe stage ». Based on this, we can conclude that the army and hypertension are incompatible, since there is a risk of developing serious complications leading to dire consequences especially for stroke.

Deferment from the army for studying abroad interests people no less often. As a rule, studying abroad does not give the right not to serve the Motherland, but it is possible to avoid being drafted legally. To do this, you will need to deregister at the place of residence. The military registration and enlistment office may request the reason for deregistration, for which you will need to present a pre-prepared certificate of enrollment in foreign university certified by a notary. After completing the training and returning to their homeland, it is necessary to register again at the place of residence.

We have mentioned the main points that can become a reason to postpone military service for a while, but be careful: so that you are not considered a draft evader, provide documentary evidence to the military registration and enlistment office to postpone service for a certain period.

Deferment from the army 2017-2018 — actual topic for young people and their parents who want to postpone the draft period or avoid it altogether army service. There are many ways to do this: from illegal ones - in the form of monetary "promises" to employees of the military commissariat - to completely legal ones, which we will talk about.

Who won't join the army?

The procedure for performing compulsory military service, as well as the grounds for exemption and deferment from it, are regulated by the Law "On military service and military service"(FZ No. 53 of March 28, 1998). Article 23 defines the following categories of citizens who, having received a summons from the military registration and enlistment office, will remain in the family circle:

1. Citizens recognized as partially fit for conscription into the army: they will receive a military ID upon reaching the age of 18. At the same time, limited fitness for military service must be confirmed by the decision of the military medical medical board. The conscript is being examined at the military commissariat at the place of residence. At the same time, he must have a medical card or other certificates confirming the presence of a chronic disease: diseases of the nervous or cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, lack of weight, lack of a certain number of teeth, etc. A complete list of such diseases is described in detail in the Appendix to the "Regulations on the military medical examination" (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04.07.2013 No. 565). It is required that a certificate confirming an unsatisfactory state of health be obtained from the military medical commission, and in individual cases in a state or municipal clinic or hospital.
2. Citizens who prefer alternative service. An application for alternative service must be submitted to the military registration and enlistment office at the place of permanent registration. The reason why the conscript needs this particular type of service, and not the army, should be clearly and convincingly stated. This can be argued, for example, by their moral principles or religious considerations. The term of alternative service is 18-21 months. At this time, a young person is employed in their specialty (often far from their place of permanent residence), labor contract, he receives a small salary (For more details, see Alternative service - what are the terms and order of passage?).

   Usually alternative service involves the performance of unskilled and low-paid jobs: failed soldiers work as orderlies in hospitals, at industrial and construction sites, etc. For young people with higher education service as a clerk, librarian, archivist is possible.

3. Citizens who have served in the armed forces foreign state , with whose government Russia has concluded an international treaty.

On a legal basis, brothers and sons of conscripts who died in the army, as well as citizens who died during military training, can be exempted from military service. The law provides for the right to exempt from the army those who have the degree of candidate or doctor of science. Citizens who are serving sentences in prisons, colonies, who are under investigation or who have an outstanding criminal record are not taken into military service.

How to get a deferment from the army?

It is possible that a completely healthy young man will want to join the army in the future, but now he wants to study at a university or technical school, start a family and build successful career. In this case, it is better to use the right of deferment. Deferment from the army 2017-2018 is regulated by Art. 24 of the Federal Law "On military service". Postponement rules apply to:

1. Citizens with a temporary illness. In such a situation, a deferment is granted for a period not exceeding 1 year.
2. Citizens who care for their sick relatives, and there is no one else to do it, i.e. if the conscript is the only support and breadwinner in the family.
3. Citizens raising children without a mother or who are guardians (custodians) of their underage brothers and sisters - provided that there is no one else to raise small relatives.
4. Citizens who have a child and a wife at least 26 weeks pregnant.
5. Citizens who have entered the service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fire safety, Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.
6. Citizens with 2 or more children or 1 disabled child who is not yet 3 years old.

The deferment also applies to persons elected to the legislative bodies of the federal and regional levels (deputies), as well as to those registered as candidates for elective office.

Young people who do not want to serve often use another legitimate reason for deferral - studying at universities. But this applies only to students of budgetary and commercial departments of full-time education. The main thing is that the university has state accreditation. The deferment period cannot be longer than the period of study: for specialty programs it is 5 years, bachelor's degree - 4 years, master's degree - 2 years, postgraduate studies - 3 years. The right to deferment is also reserved for those students who took academic leave or were expelled from the university at will.

However, the right is reserved only if, due to academic leave the deferral period will increase by no more than a year, and upon deduction and subsequent restoration, the period should not increase at all.

It happens that a student at the time of graduation is already 27 years old (the maximum age when a man is subject to conscription for military service). For example, if a young person received a bachelor's degree, after which he entered the full-time department of the magistracy, and then decided to continue his studies in graduate school. In this case, it is automatically released from urgent appeal to Army.

Postponement is also possible for students of vocational schools, colleges and other secondary specialized educational institutions. Since 2017, such a deferment is granted for the entire period of study. In this case, the teaching is not only light, but also a guaranteed "freedom" for several years.

Is it worth trusting offers like "I'll help you get out of the army for money"?

There are many ads on the Internet suggesting conscripts to avoid the army. The cost of the issue can cost a tidy sum. Often scammers just take the money and leave their customers with nothing. The guarantee that a young person will not be called up for military service is practically zero. At the same time, serious punishment is provided for an attempt to illegally evade the army - a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles or in the amount of income for a period of up to one and a half years, arrest for up to six months or prison or forced labor for up to 2 years (Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). To this, punishment for bribery can also be added (Article 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

If a young man has legal grounds for a delay, he must take the initiative and bring all available documents to the military registration and enlistment office. If he is a student, a certificate from the educational institution is required; if there is a dependent pregnant spouse, two or more children or disabled relatives, a certificate of family composition and the conclusion of social protection authorities are sufficient.

If the conscript is sick, then an extract from his medical card and the opinion of the attending physician. He will undergo a medical examination on a general basis, and if necessary, a young man can be sent for a medical examination in a military hospital.

What is the danger of cheating?

We strongly do not recommend that you try to simulate a disease or any of your “peculiarities” (pretend to be mentally ill people, homosexuals, etc.): psychologists work in the medical board of the military registration and enlistment office who are able to recognize a lie almost from the first minute of your inappropriate behavior.

If you have documents on hand that give you the right to deferment or exemption from the army, then if the conclusion of the specialists of the district military enlistment office on fitness for service is unsatisfactory, you should appeal against such an act in the military commissariat of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation or in court. In this situation, it is advisable to use the services of an experienced lawyer who is able to defend the legal position of his principal. Assistance can also be provided by human rights organizations that work on a free basis and try to publicize cases of violation of the rights of conscripts.

The period of military service for some citizens is of key importance. This may be due to education or the presence of a disease. All the nuances regarding the call are considered at the legislative level, they imply the possibility of obtaining a deferral and a list of categories of citizens who are entitled to these deferrals.

When can you expect to reschedule the call?

The postponement does not release from the civic duty to protect the Motherland, it allows you to postpone the time of conscription, giving the young man the opportunity to solve a certain number of problems. According to the law, a conscript enters the ranks of the Armed Forces immediately after he becomes an adult, however, the contingent of personnel is quite uneven in age. This fact just explains the deferment, thanks to which you can get into the army up to 27 years.

All objective reasons for granting a temporary exemption are determined by law and classified into several groups.

• Getting an education. The first deferment may be needed at school. A young man can not only get a certificate, but also continue his education, having received a profession. If education is continuous and the status of each subsequent education increases, then the state will allow a citizen to reach the end of education.
• If a disease that is being treated is detected, as well as during the recovery period after the operation, the young man, of course, will not be taken into the army. At the meeting military commission a decision will be made to grant a temporary exemption. Its duration depends on the degree of the disease.
• Under the wording "by family circumstances» several standard cases are considered. This is the birth of a second child, guardianship or.
• The deferment from the army is used by representatives of the authorities of the federal and regional levels, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fire protection and the Federal Penitentiary Service.

Deadlines for deferrals

There is no unambiguity regarding the delay period, since they are not strictly established, but depend on the specific reasons for which this delay was granted. This question interests everyone according to personal motives. Some plan to reach the deadline so that in the year when they turn 27 years old, they will receive a military ID. Others plan only a short-term release.

How you can get a deferment from the army is described in each article upon request, and to find out the conditions for transferring the call for six months, each case should be considered in detail.

The first deferment is given at school. Often a graduate reaches adulthood before he receives a certificate. But no one will call on a citizen who has very little left to receive a secondary education. The grace period is limited to October 1st. And if during the summer a young man enters a university or a secondary school, then it will be prolonged.

The rest of the options for temporary release from the army provide for the deadlines set by educational institutions for mastering the training program. It becomes clear that it is so easy to manipulate. It is unlikely that anyone will go to college to sit at home for six months.

A more common way to get a delay of 6 months is to require an additional examination, in connection with the identified disease. This process can be delayed until the end of the draft period. By the way, conscription into the army has certain time limits, it starts twice a year and ends on a certain date. This means that for a six-month period of free life, it is enough to hold out by any means until the end of the draft campaign.

In principle, you can hide in a closet from a person authorized to serve the summons, since it is handed over personally and signed, but we immediately reject this method, because it will only cause discontent among the military registration and enlistment office staff, and play hide and seek throughout the entire draft period - this is irrational.

Need to study important document, which is called . It is positioned as an annex to the law on military duty. It is this document that guides the members of the military commission, assigning a certain category of fitness. It contains a list of diseases for which a delay is granted until the next call. The purpose is diagnostics, research, treatment. If the desired effect is not achieved, then the conscript may be given another delay with the same conditions.

Finally, there is another secret that will not allow you to completely avoid army life, but guarantees six months of freedom. However, it should be noted that, thus, we do not give recommendations on violation of the law, because sometimes there are situations in which it is necessary to obtain a transfer of service for a minimum time (six months), but not a single article is applicable to a particular situation.

It is necessary to complain about health during the commission. Choose such symptoms so that you are not accused of a brazen simulation. False testimony is likely to be disclosed, besides, you will not be able to provide documentary evidence that the disease has been progressing for a long time, you went to the doctor, were treated. As a result, the verdict will mean a referral to the service.

At this point, it is necessary to declare disagreement with the decision of the commission and start proceedings in judicial order. Of course, you will have to pay a state duty, but you can buy time, because during the conduct of a court case they cannot be drafted into the army. Of course, you will lose the court, but you will win your six months.

Comments:

Deferment from the army is a pressing issue for many conscripts. If you carefully study Russian legislation, it turns out that there are plenty of opportunities for granting a deferment from the army. So, for example, a conscript can receive a deferment when he presents supporting documents that he is studying at a university. But if a young man studies in educational institution over deadlines normative development of programs, it is illegal.

According to the law, a conscript can receive a deferment from the army for health or family reasons. But here, too, there are many nuances. The deferment from service in the ranks of the Armed Forces for health reasons has a limited period. It is received by conscripts whom the medical commission operating at the military registration and enlistment office recognizes as temporarily unfit for service. But this delay lasts no more than 6 months. Deferment from the army for family reasons can be given to those who care for infirm, disabled relatives, but also on certain conditions.

Choose the right place to study!

All currently existing deferrals from service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be divided into 4 groups, depending on what are the reasons for their provision:

• education;
• family circumstances;
• health;
• professional activity.

From military service, the deferment granted for study has been repeatedly subjected to various adjustments. As a result, now it is given to all conscripts who study in educational institutions on a full-time basis. The only thing is if educational institution does not have state accreditation, the young man will not receive a reprieve. Full-time graduate students and those who are defending their dissertations are also provided with it. The law does not delimit or infringe on the rights of those who receive full-time education on a budgetary and commercial basis. It is important to know that if a young man has the title of Candidate of Sciences, he is exempt from conscription legally and he will be issued a military ID.

There is the concept of "delay for 1 call." It is used in relation to temporary exemption from military service, which is granted for the period of the draft campaign. Its term is short, but it is of particular value for those who enter universities, postgraduate studies, complete medical examination, whose results are provided to the military commissariat when a conscript claims to be recognized as unfit or partially fit for military service.

A deferment for one call is in demand, but it is associated with so many complexities and inconsistencies in the existing legislation that young people and their parents prefer to turn to professional lawyers in order to assemble a package of all kinds of documents on their own. In the legislation, there is no concept of deferment for 1 call-up, but there is only a list of grounds for temporary exemption from military service. But, knowing this list, a suitable reason for the delay can be found. The optimal reason is the state of health, and the justifying document of the reason for not appearing at the draft board is a sheet of temporary disability.

But the problem lies in the fact that the military registration and enlistment offices often require the appearance of a person, even if he is sick. What to do in similar situation, because the document is provided only after an extract from medical institution? Contact the prosecutor's office. The advice also applies to those cases when a conscript is in serious condition or a close relative or adoptive parent has died. Cases when departments of the military registration and enlistment office break the law and “take away from the funeral” young people to serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces are not uncommon. To confirm the death of a close relative or adoptive parent, an applicant for a deferment must present:

• death certificate;
• family documents.

If these grounds are ignored in the military commissariat, it is better to contact the prosecutor's office without delay. And one more nuance: along with disabled citizens and those whose close relatives have died, a delay for 1 call is granted to those who have force majeure circumstances or have good reasons. These formulations became the ground for all sorts of abuses of deferrals from one call.

For family reasons

The Law "On military duty and military service" clearly defines the list of grounds for temporary exemption from military service for family reasons. If a young person is caring for disabled relative and the latter has no more relatives to take care of him, a deferment from the army for family reasons must be granted.

At first sight this problem the decision is quite simple: the conscript presents documents on the degree of kinship and that the relative is unable to work. Do they give a deferment from the army if care is required for the adoptive parent? Yes. But the problem lies elsewhere. Not all young people who are entitled to receive temporary exemption from the “school of courage” have documents of a medical and social examination confirming that a relative is sick. Oral evidence or a certificate from the street committee of the military registration and enlistment office will not be taken into account. And in practice, it often turns out that a conscript is taken to serve in the army, and at home he remains disabled native person who has no one to look after. There is only one conclusion here: to draw up in a timely manner Required documents at ITU.

Who is temporarily exempted from military service?

The law provides for a deferment from the army for the wife's pregnancy. But it is important to know that it clearly stipulates the condition: the wife's gestational age must be at least 26 weeks. Immediately it must be taken into account: the marriage must be officially registered. If the young are civil husband and wife, what is modern Russian legislation is considered as cohabitation, the young man will not receive exemption from the “school of courage”.

When an inductee has a child, this is not a reason for delay, unless the circumstances are exceptional. Temporary exemption from military service is granted:

• single fathers;
• those who have two or more children;
• if the child of the conscript is less than three years old;
• when a child of a citizen is recognized by the ITU as disabled.

Documents are required to confirm any of the above circumstances. It is important to know: the law also provides benefits to conscripts who are guardians or trustees of minors. This category of persons liable for military service receives a temporary exemption from service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation not for six months, but until such time as the ward becomes an adult.
