Mandatory Service?

Mod Vincent  5.8 years ago

So i've been called to physical & mental testing for obligatory military service within the Swedish Military.

It's a new program for my generation (Born 2000) and i'm one of the lucky/unlucky ones depending on your point of view, i'll be going away July 20th to do these tests. After that i'm not sure. if i get accepted it's (i'm guessing) two years maybe.

I Don't know if anyone gives a donkey about this post but just wanted to let everyone know, and find some moral & emotional support as i'm scared as a fox on a hunt right now.

I Have lived an antisocial life the past four years with little connection outside of my comfort zone, it's an issue that i have to deal with myself and confront, therefor i reckon this is a great experience for confidence. Probably looks great on the CV as well!

I Don't know how much free time i will have, And i don't have a laptop :((

I Can understand if you find this post pointless, as stated above i wanted to share my thoughts & feelings towards this undoubtedly frightening thing.

    With your knowledge in aeroplanes you could just get a military job as an aircraft mechanic.

    Then you could build a plane and fly away.

    Military service is an honorable thing you should be proud of what you're doing, i loved my time in the armed forces albeit short due to an injury, good luck man

    If you’re more concerned about the social part rather than the actual military enlistment, you can always consult the internet on ways to improve your friendship-skills. My personal tip would be to always think before you speak (as to not say embarrassing things), and to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

    @CptJacobson @Notaleopard FYI, I'm not a soldier nor am I going to war. Don't be so overdramatic. I'm frightened because this is a social situation that I have never found myself in before.

    @CptJacobson
    The kids who did Booth camps are afraid of me even tho I dont even scare them
    They ask me what I did in my childhood and I said I holded and use a hunter's sniper rifle when I was 5 that my grampa allowed me to use also I only use blank shots or the ones the is not suppose to harm birds because we only need to drive them away from the fishing pond I still have the Scope as a remembrance but not the gun
    Even the bootcamp Guy stepped away from me for no valid reason
    Also this is one of the reason why I'm a bit loner lol.
    @Othawne
    Good luck out there!
