New army intake

New army recruits started to check into boot camps in Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos on Monday.

Upon arrival, conscripts are given the option to state which specialty they prefer during their 24-month service and if they wish to take the exams to serve in higher ranks.

Last check-in day is Friday.

The conscripts will undergo basic training for about three weeks and will be sworn in on July 31 and after a 48-hour leave will be sent to their units.
