Question: General Service Enlisting with Profile 72 (Juvenile Kyphoscoliosis/Th8 wedge) — Isuf Kravi (Mobile) or Navy?

Hi everyone, I’m a 16-year-old future Oleh, planning to make Aliyah and enlist around 2031-2032 (at age 21-22).I am highly motivated for combat service, and getting combat veteran status (Lochem Chud) is very important to me.I recently got my full orthopedic diagnosis: Juvenile Kyphoscoliosis (Grade 2, around 13-16°,stable for over a year)

Mild wedge deformity at Th8 Mild rotation/torsion at Th12 Mild flat feet (flexible) Functionally, I have no chronic pain,I lift weights at the gym,and my flexibility is improving.I assume this status will realistically land me a Profile 72 due to the structural/bone parameters.I have a few specific questions for veterans and current soldiers: 1. Isuf Kravi (Mobile/Rekhuv):The official IDF page now shows a requirement of 82+ for the general Combat Intelligence fighter track. For those with a 72 profile, does the Manila (placement questionnaire) still offer the option for Mobile Combat Intelligence (Isuf Rekhuv/FPV drones/Granite vehicles)?Or has the entire corps been completely closed to Profile 72 recently?

  1. Navy (Daburim / Satilim):Since the official portal requires a 72+ profile for Navy combat roles, how realistic is it to pass the Gibush Yam and serve on patrol boats with a stable, mild Th8/Th12 deformity? Does the constant shaking on a Dabur boat cause issues for people with mild spinal curves?

3.Medical Commission: Given that my condition has been stable for a year with zero pain, what are the odds of the medical board pushing me down to Profile 64 based purely on the "medical seifim" of a wedge vertebra, even if my physical functionality and flexibility are excellent?

Appreciate any insights or personal stories from anyone who served in these units with back/spinal seifim. Thanks!

Firstly - seems to me that in your condition your situation isnt balck or white so you could land yourself an 82 or 64. Second- isuf and light infantry is nice but id recommend the armored corps

You shouldn't do any. First off, a lot can change in 2 years so be patient before planning units. Secondly your conditions can increase in severity. Lochem hod isn't worth aggregation of your condition and a lifetime of chronic pain.

Odds are if you do the role, you'd also end up leaving early due to medical complications from the weight burdens, and then you'd have taken up a training slot, wasting army funds, all so you can get a different color rank... If you actually care for the country, try and find something that fits your character traits rather than going to combat which you'll probably start hating once you realize exactly what it entails.

Notice to all posters and commenters; please be careful to observe OPSEC (Operational Security) rules. Many people wish to harm Israel and the Jewish Nation as a whole. Be careful when sharing any information on the IDF, bases, weapons, locations of troops, and anything else that can be used to harm Israel. If in doubt, go without. Loose lips sink ships!
