At the end of your tzav rishon you will receive a medical profile. If you did not receive it then request to find out, it is not a secret, it is your right to know. If needed you are allowed to protest your score on the spot or until the end of your service. It is preferable to take care of it as early as possible. Your medical profile will determine which units you are eligible. If you raise your profile after you have already been placed in a unit it is very difficult to switch units even though you have a new profile.
The following is a list of the medical profiles and different conditions that will lower your profile:
97 – The top score! Even though you get a 97 there still could be a slight mention of a condition that will not lower your profile but disqualify you from serving in the elite forces. For example if you wear glasses. With a 97 you can serve in any unit.
82 – Small medical issues for example color blind or glasses with a number higher than – 1.75 but lower than a -6. With an 82 you can serve in any unit.
77 – NEW! This contains problems such as excessive sweat, allergies sneezing. This profile was created to enable more soldiers to serve in field intelligence which is a 04 rifleman. A 77 profile will also allow you to serve in Artillery (tothanim) and Tanks (Shiryon).
72 – A 72 profile is a combat profile. Some common medical issues that lower you to a 72 are problems with the back or knees. If your eyesight is higher than -6 but lower than – 8 you will also receive a 72. With a 72 the only infantry unit you can serve in is the karkal unit. In addition you can serve in artillery or tanks.
64 – Asthma, overweight or too tall. A 64 profile and under is a non-combat profile.
45 – Serious problems you will receive a job that does not have any stress.
25 – Profile given to volunteers that would like to draft even though they have been determined ineligible.
24 – Temporarily unfit to serve. For example if you just went through surgery and have not yet recovered. But still not exempt from the IDF.
21 – Exempt from the army however you can still volunteer if desired.
