Military Starter Pack, 5 months and out

We’ve had requests for a kit like this – so we listened! Here are a few practical sets tailored to different military career aspirations and budgets. Perfect as a gift too!

Military service isn’t a punishment, and even the shortest term isn’t exactly a walk in the park. The Finnish Defence Forces train and build troops according to its needs, and everyone plays an important role, regardless of their tasks or service duration. That said – it’s also the kind of experience where humor often thrives!

Finnish conscription service lasts 165, 255, or 347 days, depending on training. Those trained for basic duties serve 165 days, while those in specialized roles or unarmed service serve 255 days. Officers, NCOs, and those in highly specialized roles serve 347 days. The non-military alternative, civilian service, currently lasts 347 days. So-called "total objectors" who refuse both military and civilian service get prison time - they don’t need a pack as they've got an all-inclusive meal plan and a responsible adult on-site 24/7.
