#### Mandatory service

Military service is mandatory for all Federal citizens between the age of 18 and 33, although citizens may be exempted on religious, physical or psychological grounds. However, citizens that choose to be exempt are investigated to avoid draft evaders.

Mandatory servicemen serve for three in combat positions and four years in support positions. After completing their mandatory service, mandatory servicemen can either be sent into the reserve service for eight or ten years or choose to become contract personnel.

Mandatory servicemen are paid 3,000 credits a month compared to the 9,000 credits a month a contract personnel gains.

#### Contract service

Contract service is designed for civilians and servicemen that choose to serve in the armed forces, for a short or long period and further their military careers. Contract servicemen usually began as civilians or servicemen that have completed their mandatory service.

Contract service is based on a contractual agreement. The service contract defines how long the contract servicemen's service would last and towards the end of the contract period a discussion may rise on whether the contract servicemen would like to prolong their contract or become reserve servicemen.

In return for the contract service, contract servicemen are given triple the wages of a mandatory serviceman, and when serving for a long time, they're entitled to a pension.
