I guess I'll answer a bunch of questions here:
Why get a Lee-Enfield rather than a Mosin Nagant?
Well why not get both?
But the Lee-Enfield has 10 rounds which is double the legal limit for rifles in Canada, but is still legal because it's historical or whatever. So that'll be my first rifle.
Why am I here if I don't want to serve?
Well I don't really know if I want to. Sweden hasn't been in a war in a bazillion years so I'm not so worried about being blown to shreds. What would stop me is if it interrupts my education, like going to university or even graduating high school if the age is 18. I would however like to improve my Swedish (It's good but not fluent), and I'd like to get all tough and whatnot and learn some skills. It could also be a sort of pride because my dad served and I'm sure my grandfather did too.
As for a career in the Canadian Military, I don't think I'd want to. I'd rather be a pro photographer (Yeah kind of a dream, but I'm not too bad with my mom's SLR) so maybe some day I'll be an embedded journalist or something.
Now a few short questions:
Is it possible to choose or influence what you're assigned to? My dad was a rifleman and said he didn't have any say in what he was put into. Would it be totally random or do they pick something that best suits you? (I'm about 5' 4" and 96lbs so maybe in a tank for me)
Will they call me and ask if I want to enlist or do I have to go and tell them?
Where would I serve? We have a house near Skövde (My uncle lives in Gothenburg too) and I think people serve there, but who knows..
