A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you?

Here's how it worked for me:

I picked a really low number, the military person said that I'm almost guaranteed in with my low number but if I wanted a choice of where and when I wanted to serve I could pick which base to do my service at.

And then I was noted down as a "voluntary" because I did pick a base, and then the military releases stats saying they aren't forcing anyone anymore.

I picked the shortest amount of time (4 months) and where there were the least amount of waiting time to get it over with.

It was not traumatic and some of it was kind of interesting, but the pace of teaching is really slow.

I struggled with more of the physical things, and some others were struggling more with other stuff, it's interesting to learn group dynamics like that and apply it when training.
