Seeing how other ‘professional armies’ operate, I’m confident to say Finland is one of the most effective military training capabilities in the world. In addition to the fact that we might actually be one of the meading countries in peer-to-peer conflict doctrene. Even though most mightnot believe it, some finnish conscripts skills are at least on par, or even exceed their peers in some other western professional armies (of those who are not combat veterans).
I did grow very fond my old squaddies during my year in the military. Even to this day, ten years later I’m very close to someone of them. And occasionally when I go out on the piss in Helsinki, I meet some random people I used to serve with and few laughs about the old time and handshakes are exchanged.
I’m also lucky (in my opinion) that I’m the past 12 months I’ve been called for two military exercises and I’ve got another coming up in the summer. Tomorrow I’m actually also going to be promoted to Sergeant, which is kinda neat.
