The first group of women recruits to join Greece’s Armed Forces under a new voluntary military service program reported for duty on Thursday, marking the launch of a pilot initiative aimed at expanding opportunities for women in the military.
A total of 72 recruits arrived at a training center in Lamia, central Greece, specially adapted to accommodate female volunteers, where they will begin basic training, local media lamiareport.gr reported.
The program is open to women ages 20 to 26 and provides for 12 months of voluntary service in the Hellenic Army.
The incentives include
- participants will receive additional points in public-sector recruitment competitions, including applications to become professional soldiers or civilian employees of the armed forces
- priority recruitment of graduates as civil servants (nurses, nursery teachers, administrative staff, etc.)
- access to benefits for Armed Forces personnel (military hospitals, clubs, etc.).
Why is it voluntary? All women should be drafted, as any other gender. Or pay $40 000 euro fine!
So you censored my comnent on law?? Really, I despair. The fact that religious organizations do not have to obey the same laws as the rest of us may be of some interest to your readers.
enough. your concept of “law” is distorted then it’s not up to the Prime Minister to decide on Church issues.
What do you know about law? Nothing, seems to be the answer.
bye and good luck
