Girls in the army

For Finnish men the military is compulsory. But for girls it is optional, so often the case is that the girls who join military are a little more motivated than the guys. They get really into it, in sometimes humorous ways. A friend of mine was telling me how during firing practice one of the girls just went ahead and put her weapon on full automatic. Something that isn’t really recommended for first time shooters. 

        When talking about girls in the army i try to be as politically correct as possible. But it can’t be denied that more often than not girls struggle to keep up with the rest of the guys, and they tend to sustain more minor injuries such as sore hands and fingers from shooting, and sore feet from marching. There was this one time though when one of the girls couldn’t walk, not really sure why i think she had a bad blister or something. Anyway one of the other girls carried her on her back, it was really sweet and quite cute :3  . 

       I think girls sort of have a different view of how the army is, perhaps a more idealistic view. This one girl i know she keeps saying ”toveri” Comrade. People who use the word comrade, tend to believe they are a part of something important. At least that’s my opinion. Aside from having a strong spirit of camaraderie, girls provide some extra motivation for guys, weather one is trying to impress them, or do better because girls are doing it too, I think any self respecting guy should feel they should do just as good or better than girls at any kind of physical stuff. Unless the girl in question is one of those body builder types, or some kind of athlete, or expert at doing stuff in general.

      Oh one more thing, in civilian life there is always a queue at the girls bathroom, in the army its the other way around. Thats all i have to say about girls in the army for now keep reading.
