A total of 94 people, 73 men and 21 women, have started this year's military voluntary training programme, which began on Friday at the Martin military training and mobilisation camp. In order to become soldiers, the applicants will have to master all the basic skills and practical habits within 11 weeks. In addition to physical and psychological training, the programme includes engineering, tactical, topographic and medical preparation and shooting. Thanks to the changes in the law, the remuneration for the training has increased to over €1,100 per applicant. After completing the programme, the graduates will automatically become members of the military reserves.
