Those who live abroad perform the service abroad at a consulate, skip the ball lottery, and complete the service as “availability reservists”. The ones who get a white ball serve in a Batallón del Servicio Militar Nacional (National Military Service Battalion) composed entirely of one-year SMN conscripts. In certain cities, such as Veracruz and Ciudad Madero, the lottery system also includes a blue ball; whoever draws it must serve in the Naval Infantry MS Battalions. In 2003, President Vicente Fox Quesada reformed the law to allow for voluntary military service to be performed by females of military age. Volunteers (females) always serve as “framed” and get a certificate of achievement in place of a discharge card. “Framed” conscripts are trained in basic combat with fire weapons, in one infantry Battalion either of the Army or Naval Infantry.
