Did my duty for my country between January 9th 1996 and November 29th 1996.

I served at first with infantry (branch: guerilla warfare(?!)) and later on as medical officer student and cadet, finally getting the rank of second lieutenant.

Joined the NATO-SFOR on 4th January 1997 In Bosnia Doboj, rank for the mission at the time captain. On 16th December 1997 I left NATO forces and joined UN troops in Macedonia near Skopje. A month later received promotion to Major for one year´s service in the Balkans.

I enjoyed most the "war games" and getting to shoot with all kinds of weapons. As well I learned what horrible things weapons are. And in Bosnia I learned what cruel weapons mines are.
