Prisoner of Germany?
Posted at January 10, 2005 21:34 (UTC) from Dresden, DEToday, I dealing with the first companies and authorities regarding my new address since I am going to move to the UK. When I called the authority which is responsible for organizing all the compulsory military service stuff, they told me that I have to file an application to leave Germany for longer than three years.
This is the German military service law which demands everybody aged between 18 and 45 to file such an application. If you don't do so, you trespass against the law! To me, it sounds unbelievable.
It's like being a prisoner of Germany and you only may leave it for longer after you have filed an appropriate application. Especially in my case, it's even more unbelievable since I have already done my compulsory military service, even four months longer.
