Bundeswehr invites young people to exciting campaign days!

The Bundeswehr has launched a new initiative to interest young people between the ages of 16 and 19 for military careers. As part of this measure, the Bundeswehr organizes special campaign days that offer a variety of activities, including camouflage exercises in the forest and obstacle runs. The participants are also offered the opportunity to visit the "Eurofighter", such as Die Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

Tümer, a 16-year-old participant, expressed his dream of becoming a pilot, inspired by his experiences in the school country in the Harz, where he saw three jet hunters at the age of 14. He takes part in the "Discovery Days" of the Bundeswehr, which serves as a trial course for interested teenagers.

Bundeswehr Discovery Days in November 2024

The "Discovery Days" are a specific event that will take place in southern Germany from November 18 to 22, 2024, as announced on the official website of the Bundeswehr. This event is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 20, with minors need the approval of their legal guardians.
