Maybe that’s partly why he cut it in Africa — knowing it was all coming off again in a few months and didn’t matter very much.
 
During the first week of basic training, Crown Prince Christian and his new fellow soldiers will be put to the test.
They have to pass a basic physical test, muscle test and a running test.

I am sure there will be updates. However, I truly hope Christian is allowed to be allowed to do his training like a normal conscript along with the others, even with being the heir. There is no reason to follow him around with a camera and post constant photos and videos of everything. That, ultimately just makes his military service look more performative than anything and for PR.
 
I too find it likely that there will be a press day at some point. Probably towards the end of bootcamp, when the recruits know left from right, have become more lean and have learned to dress, so they look smart and act like soldiers.
After all Christian is a godsend for the regiment as a living recruiter.
Any recruit in reasonable shape should be able to complete the physical demands. Even though it's a combat regiment, the purpose is after all to have as many who are suitable to complete bootcamp as possible.

The purpose of conscription in DK is partly to maintain an affiliation with the military and the general population, but also as a recruitment drive. You get the conscripts to have a sniff at military life, in the hope that those who like it will sign up as a professional or sign up for future deployment abroad. While at the same time weeding out the rambos, who think the military is like a movie and who are thus not suited.
In my time we went through bootcamp and then we stayed on getting a function, in my case in an NBC recce unit. And depending on the unit the conscription could last a year or nine months. At the end of that period we were trained well enough to go to war. Not as an elite, but well enough. At the end of our conscription we were send home to be a part of the mobilization force and called up a couple of times for a few weeks of training.
Denmark will be returning to that system over the next couple of years as we expand our military with more regiments, call up more conscripts and weapons and material is delivered.

We are not quite there yet, so Christian and his comrades will still only be required to go through bootcamp. Those who volunteer for the Horse Squadron, will stay for some eight months more, where they learn to ride in formation and take part in parades and such. - Actually it will very much be up to the horses to teach the recruits.
Because most hussars horses will be seasoned cavalry mounts who know perfectly well their position in the formation and who know how to ride in formation. The horses also know the signals from the trumpets (hussars use trumpets, not horns or bugles) and obey the command instantly, which is more than their silly riders do...
I can well imagine the horses gossiping about their riders in the stable and complaining about the conscripts getting more and more stupid and hopeless.
 
According to Billed-Bladet, Crown Prince Christian will take a first aid course during his four-month basic military training. Christian and his colleagues will undergo this training, which includes a series of practical first aid exercises. He will learn how to treat and save injured people.

Det ser drabeligt ud: Kronprins Christian og kammeraterne kan få brug for det i felten

Der er meget, man skal lære som ny værnepligtig, og for kronprins Christian og hans soldaterkammerater er der blandt andet førstehjælpskursus på programmet.

The military get up suits Christian!

This picture in particular is very intriguing 👀 Mandatory female conscription will take effect from 1 January 2027. Isabella graduates in the summer of 2026. As I understand it, there are usually enough volunteers that you don't have to serve if you don't want to and Isabella should obviously follow her heart but she would not only be the first female member of the DRF to conscript, I reckon she would also serve as a great role model for women with the new equality in conscription.
 
Looks like it was some kind of family day where all of them had family over. Lovely initiative. I am sure it means a lot for both the soldiers in training and their families.
 
It was indeed visiting day for relatives at Slagelse Barracks.

Rørende kram: Kronprins Christian fik besøg af familien

Kongehuset har netop offentliggjort, at kong Frederik, dronning Mary, prinsesse Isabella, prins Vincent og prinsesse Josephine har været på besøgsdag på kasernen i Slagelse.

What lovely pictures and lovely day for all. They looks just like any other family in the mix.
Love the pictures of Christian with this sibling, showing Vincent his notes and letting Isabella try on his helmet.

And regarding the name on his uniform.
"- "Trekroner" must be his name at Slagelse Barracks. In the Guard Hussar Regiment, you have a name based on where you come from, and Crown Prince Christian is called "Trekroner", says Ulrik Ulriksen.
The closest Trekroner to Crown Prince Christian's childhood home is the artificial island Trekroner in Copenhagen Harbor."

That's exactly what it is.
After about a month, when the recruits begin to look and act like soldiers, their families are invited to have a look and admire the result.

(..)
And Christian's recruit-name is Trekroner. That's a fort out in the water in Copenhagen harbor, so I doubt the hussars will need Christian to lead them there.
(In the guards hussars, the hussars are known by the town, city, village, parish they come from.
(I see Polyesco and Billed Bladet beat me to it.)

Yes, these photos are absolutely lovely. CP Christian’s growth spurt is pretty obvious beside his younger siblings. I loved the photo of Josephine trying on her brother’s helmet! I hope that Christian is enjoying his army training so far. He looks quite happy and content.

It's Isabella trying on the helmet. Very cute moment.

More from family day at the barracks.
