Good luck and enjoy the time..
In Norway every man has to go to.. and now they are talking about making all the girls as well has to go.
Its the same here, u need a valid reason like studies, apprentice in work or illness..
I did my time in the army, and my time was 23 hours from I left til i was home again.... I was determine to get home again, had no intention to be in the army, so i told the Dr that i pee in my sleep and thats it, i got to go home again..
I regret it today.. when at work and i hear everyone else talking about what they did in the army and how fun they all had, i wish i could have experienced it..
SO what i try to say is, enjoy the time, and make the best out of it! Donno if its the same in Finland, that you can get your education in the army or get licenses.. if you can i recommend you to try to get some license..
And thanks for taking your time to letting us know mate..
See you when your back!
