Is there some other type of camping in Finland?

The other type is camping in cold summer weather... I suppose

Honestly, most of them look no older... soldiers look pretty young... Still though, his uniform looks pretty "stock". Not much field time on it, but then again you normally break out your garrison uniforms for those pics. Sigh... Those were the days...

We have actually three uniforms, one for holidays, one for garrison and one for field time. The field uniform is terrible looking, and it's designed at year 62 (well, they look like most of them are made then too and used ever since  )
I took that picture a week before going to the reserve and I had returned already almost all of my stuff. Only had a holiday uniform and few necessary items.
David, the long hair was because I was going to home soon and the regular didn't care any more...

No, there are also chilling and rainy fall weather
Actually it's sometimes +30C at the summer but it's rare. Anyway, +30C isn't much better than -20C, since you can't take the uniform off and lounge under the tree. Ever tried to run wearing an uniform and a combat vest when it's a sunny and a hot day? I can say you'll be dripping with sweat.

Re: Hi guys, I\'m back!
Just a stab in the dark, but that looks like Finlands flag on his left shoulder. So, just maybe, he was in the Finnish Army. Just a guess. Am I right?

Re: Hi guys, I\'m back!
Welcome back, though to be honest I doubt the sanity of anyone willing to volunteer for military service, and pity those conscripted

As Fyron said I'm from Finland and here military service is compulsory for every man. So I wouldn't use the word join here since I didn't have choice.

I second that. I really wondered why those few women in the military were there, voluntarily.
