what a princess!

|

The Swedish crown princess Victoria, who currently is taking a part in a military training program at Swedint in Södertälje (the place where all Swedish personell for the overseas forces are trained) ran the famous fälttest* ("fieldtest") on 4.45 minutes.

I'm impressed!

That's really good! A lot of the guys I made my military traning with didn't manage that!

Boy, I'm really impressed! For a infantry soldier, the time limit is 5.30 and I finnshed in 5.38 (which I don't consider too bad for someone like me). To apply for the military academy the time limit is 6 minutes and for staff service personnel (for example in the overseas forces), it's 7 minutes.

* Doing a fieldtest is running 1000 meter in uniform and with all the equipment a soldier needs including weapon. The extra weight is about 14 kg.
