Conscription? Wow. I hope it's just wargames during those six months.

Enjoy the... wargames I guess. Or the protection of the Arctic Circle. Or whatever they want you to do. :\

Finland is already freezing so the temp difference can't be that much different. Or it could be, hell I don't know.

But yeah, good luck out there, and at least it's not for a terribly long time. And hey, there doesn't seem to be much going on in Finland or that region that needs military action so you should be fine.

Thanks to all.

It's only -18 celsius, not so bad! There's going to be lots of skiing though

And I live quite south of Finland, so it's not really THAT cold here.

To be honest, it's not Finnish Army. It's more of Finnish Defense Force. We're not actively having wars anywhere. (although we have a few peacekeeper units in Iraq)

Yeah, I would never want to join the army anywhere. I'd get extremely bored and I'd be too scared.

Good luck though, I hope everything goes well.

I wouldn't do well in the army, I have a huge issue with unquestioned authority. Plus I'd be likely to haul off and smack just about anyone who got in my face ____________________

Do you feel like more of a man now!?

Also, are the officers/generals/whatever as bad and evil as we all think they are?

Hell yes I feel more of a man now

I've got my own AR (Assault Rifle), which I have to care, clean and most essentially, shoot.

There are certain "harder" generals and all, but my company (that being Armored Indirect Fire Pattern(not sure about this in english)) has quite easy-going sergeants and lieuteneants. Although we still have to follow the preset rules (such as how to introduce yourself before speaking, how to speak, when not to speak and so on).

I still have your $50. Perhaps I should just Paypal it over, or do I need to see about getting those cards and find some way to send them?
