According to the provisions in Clause 1, Article 5 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP:
The drafting postponement and exemption during peace time shall comply with Article 41 of the 2015 Law on Military Service. To be specific:
1. The following citizens shall have their conscription postponed:
a) Citizen whose health is unsatisfactory for active military service according to the conclusion of pre-enlistment check-up board.
b) Citizen being the only breadwinner who directly takes care of his relatives who lost working capacity or under working age; citizen being the only breadwinner in a family suffering serious damage to humans and property due to dangerous accidents, disasters, epidemics confirmed by the People’s Committees of the communes, wards, towns (hereinafter referred to as “communes”).
c) Citizen who is a child of sick soldiers, people infected with dioxin and suffering labor capacity reduction from 61% to 80%.
d) Citizen whose biological siblings is a non-commissioned officer/active duty enlisted soldier or a non-commissioned officer/enlisted soldier performing service in People’s Army.
dd) Citizen who subject to emigration or evacuation in the first 03 years to extremely disadvantaged communes according to the socio-economic development project of the State decided by the People's Committees of provinces or higher levels.
e) Citizen who is an official or a youth volunteer assigned to an extremely disadvantage socio-economic area according the law provisions.
g) Citizen who is studying at a compulsory education institution or receiving training or university level at a higher education institution or training of college level at a vocational education institution for a training course of a level.
According to the above regulations in Vietnam, conscription will only be temporarily postponed for citizens who are receiving formal college level at a vocational education institution for a training course of a level.
Comparing with the case of you studying in College in the 2015-2018 class, therefore, you are temporarily postponed from being called into the army during this time. You have now graduated, so you have completed a training course of a training level in Vietnam.
However, now that you are studying university transfer, you will not be able to postpone your conscription. Therefore, when you are called to enlist, you must strictly comply in Vietnam.
Above is our consultation regarding our support request.

Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP recruiting and calling citizens into the army, there are regulations on drafting requirements, specifically as follows:
...
4. Cultural requirements:
a) Draft citizens who finished 8th grade or higher in descending order. In areas where the drafting quota cannot be guaranteed due to hardship, request the competent authorities to consider and decide to draft citizens who finished 7th grade.
b) Communes in remote and isolated areas, in areas with economic - social hardships according to regulations and law; ethnic minorities below 10,000 people shall draft no more than 25% of the citizens who finished primary education and the citizens who finished lower secondary education are drafted to fill the rest.
Thus, based on the provisions of law in Vietnam, citizens are called to join the army when they have an educational level of grade 8 or higher. In difficult localities that do not meet military quotas, they must report to competent authorities for considering and deciding to select the number of citizens with a 7th grade educational level. In your case, you have completed middle school but failed to graduate, that is enough to meet the educational requirements to be called into the army according to regulations of the Law.
You can refer to more information about military recruitment standards in Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP recruiting and calling citizens to join the army.
Above is our advice on the issue you are wondering about.

g) Citizen who is studying at a compulsory education institution or receiving training or university level at a higher education institution or training of college level at a vocational education institution for a training course of a level.
Thus, it can be seen that studying lawyer-training course is a post-graduate training course, so it will not be subject to the above mentioned military service postponement in Vietnam.
Best regards!
