you'll all miss the "å", I'm sure...

[wålf-kun]

Instead of just disappearing I though I should make a notice;

I probably won't be on for quite some time - I'm soon to enrol in the army to serve my 12 months of compulsory service, and thus I presume I'll be a goner for a year or so... I wish most of you very healthy and happy lives!

(Also - someone should revive "count to 2000")

PS - yes, I know Åsna will still carry on the proud heritage of the Scandinavian Alphabet

[!]

, that stinks (the whole army deal). Hope you learn valuable stuff there though (send me the ps3, you wont be using it anyways )

[Aniki]

too many army people, ya'll fight too much for your countries
good luck, be safe and bring me a souvenir. (yes it was a horribly mean joke referring to him bringing me back a severed arm, foot or leg - No, i say that to all people)

[hinarei]

oh, fer the love of...

Just you get back in one piece, wååååååååååååååååååååååååålf!

Hope it's a character-building experience, and that the time just flies by and you're back here before you know it. Don't forget about us!

I wonder if you will have any chance to answer in case I should write e-mail to you...

A whole year! In Finland today, that would be the maximal conscript service time, for to-be officers, NCOs, and some branches receiving specialized training. I wonder how it is in your system.

Sure, feel free to e-mail me. I'll check my inbox as often as possible, but I won't promise any quick answers.

12 months is minimum if you serve in the Army, Air Force or Navy. You could serve just 6 months if you join the "Heimevernet", but that's rather rare... If you want to be anything above private you'll usually have to serve at least 2 years.

So? hows it going? are you serving yet? about to start?

In service as of tomorrow, up till now I've just had vacation away from me compy.

And thanks to for all the caring words; never to worry though, my service primary involves running around in some deep Norwegian woods and firing at cardboard targets (alternatively watcing the Russian border, but that's rather lame as well, I've heard)...

Man, and I usually hear people compare our system to such countries as Germany, saying that Finland is a f*****-up old-fashioned militarist country, because the service times are still so "long" and those opting for the civilian service alternative are (still) widely frowned upon.

I think we used to have a compulsory two-year military service, but that was like several decades ago.
