Heh, you wont see a battleship around my parts, but we do have some nice boats down in the southern parts of Sweden, I know we have one called Visby. Anyways, my function in the army (once my basic training is over), is to guard the Air base where Im stationed atm, plus a lot of different storage facilities all over the mid parts of Sweden. I also act in a striketeam, educated in city warfare. Also, I will be acting as armed escort for convoys and VIP's.

And to answer some questions; Yes, I am proud of serving my country. Im also proud to be one of the last 50 or so to ever serve on this particular base, since the government has decided to cut down on the army here in Sweden. The particular base is called F4, and has been around since 1926, which means its Swedens oldest Airforce base.
I also saw this as a great opportunity to get in shape again, after my "sit down and answer the phone"-job. Ive already started to notice a great difference in both bodymass, muscles and fatigue, which is pretty good for just three weeks, methinks.
