In recent years some Israelis have begun to use Profile 21 as a means of avoiding ], which is universal in Israel. This usually takes the form of deliberately failing medical exams so as to appear unfit for military service. Most often, recruits or soldiers pretend to be mentally ill, due to very few individuals receiving Profile 21 on a non-psychological basis. |

Soldiers who have already been recruited by the IDF may see a psychologist, called ''Ktzin Bri'ut Nafshit'' ('''''k'''a'''b'''a'''n'''''), who is authorized to refer the soldier to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is then able to recommend Profile 21. |

There are a number of problems in civilian life for soldiers who are deemed unfit for military service with Profile 21. Previously, most employers, especially when hiring employees without experience, looked to the employee's service records to evaluate their work ethic and potential. In 1994 such behavior was made illegal, however, a soldier exempt from the army on Profile 21 receives an exemption certificate instead of a discharge certificate, allowing employers to find out whether they have been classified as such. Persons with Profile 21 with mental illness as the reason may not acquire a driver's license for a public vehicle in Israel (e.g. an ambulance), and may have trouble acquiring a regular public license. They are also denied certain services. |
