Re: Pentagon lifting ban on American female troops in combat MOS

Definitely sounds like your promotion system is different than ours - but probably more Americans are career military than Norwegians? (Example: my husband is enlisted on a six year contract, but that's one of several time lengthen options people go in on, and depending on the field people rank up through training over time and most NCOs have been in for multiple enlistments/tours of duty.) Good for your dad and grandpa - if the standard's anything like it is here that isn't easy!

I suppose since they're not recruiting as much (except for women? That's what I got from what you said above.) they really don't have to puff up and promote things online so much lol. ;)

Actually, I was only really aware of Israel doing something similar as far as drafting (but different, since they draft both men and women due to them being located in a location of constant conflict) to what you guys do, so this is really very enlightening. :)

I am pretty sure it is, but probably more similar too, "sergeant school" is basically what you do when you volunteer for military service in Norway. And then you go up in rank depending on service, just like you guys.

Both my dad and grandpa had to do it though. Both of them used to enter ahRP shooting contest.

Everyone gets a letter (it's a two part thing, the first refistration is online, the ones who make the cut go on to step 2) the year they turn 18 (which have been going on for years, women have to show up if they are born after 1992), and if the get to step 2 they meet up for a physical/medical and then if they make the cut they are drafted for a year of service in the military (marines, army and so on)

There are quite a few countries doing the same actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription
