154 conscripts at Göta ingenjörregemente Ing 2 in Eksjö mucked up today. Nine of the soldiers will continue their studies on the officer programme to become specialist officers, tactical officers or reserve officers.

45 will continue to work in some form of soldier position. More than 30 percent of the applicants are women, which is also a record. The company commander thinks it is positive to have more women in the armed forces. "Diversity creates the conditions," says Sebastian Winther, major.
