that was the last test after three weeks in training

Oh .... thank you.

Three weeks sounds a bit short. Did the CP get the 'rush' course?

Just curious, what is the normal length of time for a woman conscript serving the first time in the armed forces?

i´ll try to find the other pictures soon.

three weeks was for a special traning maybe someone else can tell about the course

Thank you Josefine.

i look forward to seeing the pic's ... an interesting selection of pictures so far on this webpage.

Yes it was a "short training". Normally you are in the military for 15 months. But this was a special course I think....

hrhcp · #26 10-13-2003, 01:27 PM

OT, Yennie
have you done military service yet?

Yennie · #27 10-13-2003, 05:31 PM

haha, noway I´ll do that :P
Girls don´t do military service in Sweden. Boys have to, but due to "money cuts" in the military, many boys are allowed to skip it nowadays.

Yennie,
has it always been that way, no service required for girls?

Yennie · #29 10-14-2003, 06:52 AM

Hmm, I think it have always been that way. But I´m not 100 % sure...
I´m only 20 years old so I dont have that much knowledge of things like that =)

hrhcp · #30 10-17-2003, 09:59 PM

So, Yennie ... women volunteer to serve in the Swedish military ?
Whereas men are conscripted.
Quite a dichotomy .... eh ?

I don't think CP would be the only woman in the military.
In your opinion, roughly, how many women were 'volunteered' to serve at the same that there were pictures of the CP doing her thing?

Yennie · #31 10-18-2003, 07:02 AM

how many? oh, I have no idea. But I have two, three girlfriends who are doing military service right now....
but other than that I don´t know...

Why are her fingers so red? Is this pseudo-blood?

hrhcp · #37 11-02-2003, 10:38 PM

I think you are right. (its a better idea then my first which was finger nail polish

)

From today: Victoria and her father are visiting the Viking 03 exercise (an military exercise).
Someone should give them a coat!

Dennism · #39 12-08-2003, 12:01 PM

This is the second time in the past couple of days where Victoria, surrounded by men, has looked cold. As a man, of courteous ways, I have to be saddened by this.
Sure, in this case, everybody's eyes may not be on her but still a woman looks cold. The right thing to do is to offer her a coat. And I hope that she will become a godmother to this baby or anything baby. It would be a nice gesture.

I guess that´s the side effect of emancipation. You want to be head of state like a man, so you have to freeze like a man

But it´s sadly a fact, that women are freezing all the time, while men can even stand it just to wear a T-shirt in winter.
