Greetings from the Finnish marines! info


Hi,

This forum looked nice so I thought I would join.

Well what should I say about myself, I'm a CoastalJaeger (Finnish Marine) and have been that for 3 months time and I still have 3 months service time left so I'm going to be a basic private the whole time in the military.
By the way we are the only ones in the Finnish military who can get the green beret.


Sadly I don't have any pictures of myself yet but I have some of our NCO's so I thought I'd post them so people would get a picture of how we look and so on...






Sadly I won't be able to post so much at least in the coming 3 months because I'm only out on the weekends and not every weekend and I'm going back today before 12p.m.

Well that's it about me...

At ease...

Interesting photos coastaljaeger.

How did you come to join the Finnish army? How long are you going to be a marine?

Well first of all every male Finnish citizen must join the military either, aiforce, navy, marines or army and you have to be there for a minimum of 6 months and maximum is 12 months, in 6 months you can become no more than a basic jaeger but in 12 months you can become either 2.nd Lieutenant or Sergeant.

For me the case is 6 months so I'm going to become a basic private or (jaeger as it's called in the Finnish Military)

And I chose the marines because I wanted a challenge and they have the third toughest education in Finland. The only ones that are tougher are the divers and paratroopers. And then again I have some pressure on me because both my brothers are Marines and they both have the green beret...
