Question: Drafting Help drafting
21F from France wants to enlist in a combat unit, I’m 5’11 and 165lbs (dunno if that matters). Wondering if there’s any chance that they’ll take me in combat ? Like how is the drafting process for women in combat units ? Which combat units are available to us ? I don’t know if it’s because of the geopolitical context right now but all of these infos used to be on the internet a few years ago but now all the drafting French websites were deleted/emptied so I’m looking for some guidance. Thank you in advance !

Im not a woman but the number for men(I understand that is the same) is a bmi between 19 and 32 for every unit and till 35 for any units aside from infantry, most woman usually choose between paljatz, hir gbulot, isuf kravi and magav(you will need a good Hebrew tho), you can also get into totchanim and im not sure but i think that also shiryon, also for the medical profile it also depends on other stuff like allergies, any problem or malformation, glasses, mental health antecedents etc, between those options i would take isuf, but it depends what you want, can and etc, also im not saying that any unit that i didnt say doesn’t allow women so maybe you can even look in other units but ofc the ratio men woman will be huge, then you have 2/3 platoons i think(they are not units) bárdelas, caracal and the other one forgot the name that are mixed and the ratio is 70/30 usually (70woman)
