Does the application to AFU immediately oblige you to go to serve?
Legal nature of the recruitment application AFU. Updated: October 2026.
No, applying to AFU does not oblige you to serve. This is the start of communication with the recruiter so that you get answers and understand whether the service is right for you. Obligations arise only after signing a contract - and you sign it knowingly after going through the conversation, Military Medical Commission (MMC) and choosing a role. Details below.
What decisions are left to you
The request initiates the conversation, but the service starts only after all the steps:
- you choose the role yourself after talking with the recruiter;
- you pass Military Medical Commission (MMC) yourself (the service will not start without it);
- you sign the contract yourself - no one forces anyone else.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a recruiter "transfer" me to Military Medical Commission (MMC) without my consent?
No. The medical board takes place after your decision to proceed with the admission conversation. You can control the steps.
Can I apply and change my mind?
Yes. You have every right to change your mind before signing the contract without explaining anything.
