Every day when I walk home to my house I pick up the household mail. I, of course, peruse the address bar of each and every strip of paper, just to see if somebody out there know I’m alive and have sent me mail to tell me so (or maybe some useful stuff to boot). Today, however, I received a most unwanted letter from an institution that I hoped had filed me “long gone”, “dead and buried” or simply “To fat to fit in a truck”.
I got my letter of enrollment to the military. And I don’t want to go! First of all: I’m no fighter. Even though I’m pretty big and strong for a seventeen year old boy, I’ve never hit anyone (except my sisters, but they deserved it). I don’t want to lose a whole year, trotting around in forests and assembling guns. You might as well shoot me for all I care about the military.
Hopefully they’ll change the rules so I don’t have to go and get me a gun (pun intended, not enjoyed).

If you go for higher education, or is sick, you can skip it. That means that you postpone it long enough, so you get to old.

I risk being consriptedthis summer, too, so my sympathy’s with you. You’d have it anyway, of course, seeing as I don’t like conscription much, but…
And Sauen: You only get away because of higher ed if you’ve already begun when you’re called.

Funny, my brother would said he would get away with it when he started on his second year on Teknisk Fagskole, even though he had not taken the first yet.

Thanks for the sympathy, people. It’s appreciated. I won’t get conscripted for at least two years, so I guess I was overreacting.
And I am planning on taking higher education of a sort. Which sort of education hasn’t been decided upon as of yet.

Huh? I did not show any sympathy, did I? Don’t pretend I am some… some… human!

That would be wrong
