10 Years in the Air Force. I was a Cryptologic Technician. Funny thing is I went to a Navy base for technical school, a joint base as my first assignment and an Army base for my last one. Never was stationed on an Air Force base.

Early 1990s i spent 454 days in total in His majesty's service, mostly spent on Sea-Survey vessel HMS Jacob Hägg and Icebreaker HMS Tor ( sold to Russia after decommission while sister ship Njord was renamed Polar Star ( http://www.polarstarexpeditions.com/ ) )

Sweden's military was built on conscription, and until the end of the Cold War nearly all males reaching the age of military service were conscripted. In recent years, the number of conscripted males has been reduced dramatically, while the number of female volunteers has increased slightly. Recruitment has generally shifted towards finding the most motivated recruits, rather than solely on the otherwise most fit for service, although there are exceptions. All soldiers serving abroad are by law required to be volunteers.
