Women In The Norwegian Military Forces (Anders Jacobsen's Blog) It seems to be common belief that if a Norwegian girl is unmarried at the age of 30, she s obliged to enroll for military service. http://www.jacobsen.no/anders/blog/archives/2002/08/12/women_in_the_norwegian_mi
Extractions: ... because the Internet changes your life... Main August 12, 2002 Women in the Norwegian Military Forces Over the weekend I heard something really amusing. It seems to be common belief - at least in some circles (of girls) - that if a Norwegian girl is unmarried at the age of 30, she's obliged to enroll for military service. To me, it sounded more like some hen party joke that had developed into an urban legend, but to be sure (and not to offend too much) I promised to research it. I found no info online. What I did find, however, was a reverse, conclusive statement: Norske kvinner er ikke plagt alminnelig verneplikt. P frivillig basis kan kvinner ske opptak p Forsvarets skoler, ske om f gjennomfre frstegangstjeneste med muligheter for befalsutdanning under denne, og ske om verving. Norwegian women are not subject to compulsory military service, but may apply for voluntary service. (Source: norge.no - Kvinner i Forsvaret If you have information to indicate otherwise; leave a comment :-) If you too have head the rumour - leave a comment too - it would be interesting to hear how widespread the rumour is?
