Fair enough.

Wow, I didn't realise countries still practiced conscription.

PS.  Get your ass back to England.

I did not realize a country such as Norway would have a conscription act.

Referring to forced service in the armed forces, the term "conscription" has two main meanings:

forced service, usually of young men of a given age, e.g. 17 – 18, for a set period of time, commonly 1 – 2 years. (In the United Kingdom and Singapore this was commonly known as "national service"; in New Zealand, at first compulsory military training and later national service); in Norway, Safeguard Duty / 1st time service.
forced service, for an indefinite period of time, in the context of a widespread mobilisation of forces for fighting war, including on the home territory, usually imposed on men in a much wider age group (e.g. 18 – 45). (In the United Kingdom this was commonly known as "call-up").

The good ole US.  Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, though.

ATTENTION, UNDOCUMENTED MALES
& IMMIGRANT SERVICING GROUPS!

If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It’s the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to the Selective Service System, P.O. Box 94636, Palatine, IL 60094-4636.

Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it’s too late!


The Selective Service System is an independent federal agency operating with permanent authorization under the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.). It is not part of the Department of Defense; however, it exists to serve the emergency manpower needs of the Military by conscripting untrained manpower, or personnel with professional health care skills, if directed by Congress and the President in a national crisis. Its statutory missions also include being ready to administer an alternative service program, in lieu of military service for men classified as conscientious objectors.

Today, the Selective Service System continues to satisfy its statutory obligations while providing the only time-tested mechanism to backup the all-volunteer military when needed.

welcome to the club of people who chickened out of the army. We also have conscription here but I managed to avoid it. There is no point in wasting my time on the swiss army.

Yeah, if you don't say yes, you get sent to jail.

I'm going to study in the US or the UK (or maybe Switzerland) right after High School... If I get called in, I'll find an excuse (scolarships ftw.)

Norway have an army?

I thought all Scandinavians did was make porn and flat packed furniture?

Yeah, unfortunately we have an additional year of conscription..

What sucks is that because Im really fit I will have to go..Time to pig out on junkfood for the next year.

That is not correct, pretty much everyone that wants to do school instead and do army afterwards, can do that. I should know, i did it myself, and so did many of my friends. Got into school, and did my mandatory military service after i was done. So, unless you plan on just sitting on your ass until you go back to the UK, then you should be safe.
