Pfft, mortars... pussies! We all know who're the real gods of in-direct fire.

A few questions for DolUmBerIst:
-Why did you drop out/were kicked out?
-Where did you serve and in what unit?
-Did you go to NCO- or RCO-school?
Ps. Stop playing Diablo 2 already!
Well, I started my service regardless of the fact that I still had E-papers due to some health problems. During the first health check we had it came to light that I couldn't stay.A few questions for DolUmBerIst:

I served in Kainuun Prikaati/KuoP/HK, for a whole nine days. So, no I didn't go to NCO- or RCO-school but that was my aim.
And I'm not playing Diablo 2 anymore! Though it shall always have a special place in my heart.
Will you be able to fix these health problems and go back into service? Or are you penalized for going into service with those problems? I atleast think you should be able to go back in.
One should be able to go again once your medical issues are cleared.
Good, that's how I thought it went.
On that note, what medical issues would the Finnish Army reject you for? Sorry I can't read much Finnish, so I can't use the FDF site.
I think back and leg problems are the most common ones.
Where are you from?
My mom is Finnish, and I've visited Finland ~3 times now, but my dad is American and I live just north of NYC. I have Finnish citizenship, and I can understand a few Finnish words (mostly army stuff) and I plan to move there when I'm older. I liked it much better than here the few times I was there.
Also, that leg thing may happen to me, my dad got turned down in 1968 from the draft because of a leg problem.

Hi there fellas, after a year or so of stalking mp.net, I thought it would be a good time to register. Unfortunately I don't yet have much pics to contribute, but armed with a decent camera next week, I'm hoping to capture some of my refresher training experiences in Portti 08 -exercise, starting next Monday, June 10th. Be sure to check the link below (finnish only)
About myself: Served in Jääkäriprikaati/Jaeger Brigade, Sodankylä, between Jan 06 and Jan 07 as a recon FO. Hi to all who possibly recognize me
Portti 08 (June 10th-16th) is a joint-exercise of northern Finlands garrisons, consisting of roughly 4000 men and 700 vehicles. The exercise will be held in Kainuu-North Karelia area (Valtimo-Sotkamo road). Majority of the personnel are conscripts and staff, but ca. 200 lucky reservists, including me, get to answer to the call of duty

My heart stopped twice during that parade. First when I saw the CV90 column and then also when the MLRS rolled by with our camo.
YLE ****ed the filming angles, again. I also wanted to slap the commentator with the baret.
And no 122 PsH 74s, MT-LBUs or ZIL-131s. Can't admit to the nation that this is supposed to be our mechanized arty.Bonus points for BMP-2s.
Welcome aboard!
Yeah, our CO said that to us too.
