Instead of relaxing over the summer holidays, nearly 10,000 men and women have signed up for a month-long, paid "Vacation with the Army" programme, launched by Poland’s defence ministry to promote military service among young people as the country beefs up its security. Participants spend 27 days in a unit, after which they are paid €1,400 and awarded a rank and can continue service or become part of the reserve personnel. “You have to push yourself to the limit. No one has fainted yet, but the day has only just begun,” says Michal Piekut, 29, a master’s student in internal security at the University of Warsaw.
