As any male Swiss citizen, I’m required to complete military service, starting with eighteen weeks of basic training, known as “recruit school” (Rekrutenschule, or RS). Those eighteen weeks split into general basic training and training specific to the function you’re assigned.

I was assigned to become a radar soldier. A radar soldier’s job is to monitor the airspace for potential threats and, if necessary, give the order for the cannons to take that threat down.
