In Finland we have to serve military or do the civil thing which is 13 months iirc. Jail is one option too..
I think military is the best from the 3 options [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

For those of you taking the piss out of the Finnish military, they fought on the German side in WWII against Russia. In 1944 Russia invaded Finland. This was when the Russian military machine was awesome. The Finns fought them off and won their independence. Pretty impressive stuff.
