is it that they only have to do 5 months service when they have been to university?

yes, that's right

thank you, i was just making sure because my boyfriend finishes uni in 2008 and hasnt been in the army yet, 5 months is better than 15 months. Do they get called straight away or can it be months before they called?

well, my boyfriend signed up himself he wants to get it done quickly because its better.. after the army he can do whatever he wants to. What education does your boy have? Mine has a technical engeneering edu. and thats why he will not be a soldier, he will take care of the technical stuff instead No, they dont call them directly (what i know), they can go out of the country first if they want to, but we decided to wait 5 months before getting the visa, it will be alot easier after the army.

history and geography

my boyfriend has been in army over a month now and its been well hard but sooner he does it sooner we can be together. but i have a few phone calls so thats cool

78days to go 78days till he comes home........hehe....sorry i just spoke to my fiance and he has 78days till he finish army, i miss him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!! i hope all others who have to experience this will see their men soon!

i just know that for me, the longer we are apart the stronger my love for him grows because it makes me realise how much he means to me! but i cant wait to see him again....its only been 2 and a 1/2 months since i last saw him and i definately know that he will be worth the wait!

my friend just went to the army last week and didnt have chance 2 see him this year....last time i saw him was 11 months ago so now i have 2 wait another 15....which is guttin!!!! xx

How many days off are they actually allowed to have? My husband will supposedly get 7 days after the first three months but I don't know how much more he will get.

I've heard someone say a month in total, but I know that my brother in law went through his military service just three years ago and we was only allowed two weeks off in total, which would then be added in the end (so that some of his friends who had not taken time off at all could go home two weeks before him).

How many days is it now?
