    Default Swedish soldiers graduate, return to civilian life

    If they didn't decide to do international service that is. Anyway, here are some pics from the ceremonies that took place this week. Not much military but good photos nonetheless.

    Most of them are self-explanatory so no captions this time.


    Artillery Regiment

    Under the new system from 2005 it's 11 months on two semesters of basic training and 3 to 5 months additional, depending on selection.

    Good looking bunch of young soldiers(or are they recruits?)

    Interesting to see no fat kids in the bunch.....I would have thought Sweden suffered from "excessive Big Mac syndrome" just like the rest of the west.

    Are the uniforms the EOD folks wearing standard issue or is that EOD related kit?

    Hahaha we have some of that Big Mac syndrome but those recruits come to their assigned regiments after the selection/screening/conscription process.. which happened to them earlier that year. (When they test for heart failures, check BMI, muscular strenght, hearing, overall mental and physical fitness etc...)

    Yea EOD related kit not standard (although partly shared)
