So there was news a few months ago that military draft would change back to 1 year, but it now looks like that will only affect those born after 2004. This means that I’ll be able to naturalize and only have to do 4 months service. I had originally planned to naturalize and stay as a NWHOR until I turned 36/37, but now I can just get full citizenship as soon as the one year wait is up, and max do 4 months service.
It looks to not be 100% confirmed yet, but this is really good news.
I think those born before 2004 had to do 1 year anyway. The change to 4 months only affected those after a certain year (can’t remember which year).
For example I was born in 1992 so I’d have to do 1 year of service after naturalizing even though most people I would be doing service with will only do 4 months.
So it’s probably just saying those born after 2004 will have to do 1 year service but those born before 2004 had to do a year anyway. There probably aren’t many people born before 2004 who haven’t served except for those naturalizing
After 1994 only had to do 4 months.
So I guess moving forward it will still be 4 months if you were born between 1994 and 2004. That includes me. Have updated the thread title
Ohhhh gotcha. They made it complicated!
Lucky you
