        Is military service mandatory in Norway or is it voluntary?

          It’s a weird mix of both. It’s mandatory conscription for 12 months after secondary high school, butttt the military haven’t been able to take in that amount of people since the 90s. So now they are so selective it’s effectively voluntary. People who want to go can’t if they don’t pass a bunch of tests.
