This is good news.... his time with Finland counts as army service. Two birds with one stone for the Jazz and Lauri. Still super cool he didn't duck out on this.

Oh wow, does this mean he'll complete everything this year?

No, he has a minimum of 165 days to do and that would take him into the end of October - which he obviously won't do.

And unlike the Twitter post says, he didn't really "complete" anything. He took the oath along with everybody else at the end of the boot camp period - but the service continues pretty much as until now. Just now more focus on specific skills they're taught in the Sports School (recon, signals etc.) for the next 6 weeks.

Thanks.

How much longer will he have after he is done this year? (I apologize as I think this has already been discussed)

Isn’t service mandatory though? Still cool and all but I don’t think he can duck out.

I think he can get an exemption but may be misremembering.

I don’t know but all I’ve ever read is that it’s mandatory

How could it be mandatory if you live in the US?

The time he spent playing on the Finland national doesn't count. I thought that is one of the exceptions..

That's exactly what my mom says about JFC posters.
