	Drafted to the Air Force 1968 - 1970

February the 2nd 1968, a new way of life began for me - I was drafted to the Danish Royal Airforce.

When I was at the draft board I was asked for what part of the military I wanted to be drafted to - and my wish was now complied.

I was not especially happy about being a soldier, so from the beginning I just do as little as possible.

At the end of the training school I was asked if I wanted to join the sergeant school, which I said I didn't wanted. Even so I was ordered to join.

Again I did as little as possible. I was happy because I didn't succeed the examinations at the end of school. But... The lieutenant colonel - the commander of the school told me, with a smile, he had changed my marks, so I could pass the examinations. I became a sergeant.

I believe it was a decision already made at the draft board.

Fortunately I was transferred to a place - The island of Bornholm - where the soldiers, from the top to the bottum, did the job in a civillian way.

I liked the special service the airforce men got.
