Welcome back! Hope your stint in the military wasn't too tough. Couldn't have been, you're in one piece!

The first half of the year was quite ordinary military service, including combat training, drills, camping in cold winter weather and other not so pleasant things. Afterwards it's surprisingly funny to reminisce how cold and unpleasant it was then, though.
The latter half of the year was much more interesting and enjoyable since I managed to get to a special training. Mostly I installed and spliced optical fibres but I also installed some CAT5/6 and telephone cables.
After all, in a way I lost a year of my life, but in exchange I got almost an endless amount of stories. In addition now I have a common topic with every Finnish man, and believe me, a group of Finnish men can spend hours to recalling the 30 years old military service events
