A couple of weeks or so before the deadline on submitting interest to join the National Guard’s new volunteer service scheme, it seems that women are not really responding to this initiative in any significant numbers, if at all. According to the latest data, just one woman, in the district of Larnaca, as reported, has filed an application.
There has not been any other statement on the number that has come forward, with Friday October 24th being the final day to submit interest, if you are a citizen of the Republic and aged between 18 and 26.
A small number, according to the National Guard press spokesperson, have phoned in seeking clarification on a number of issues.
Women must submit their Interest form along with a copy of their identity card at eth.str.ginekon@army.mil.cy or visit the local National Guard Enlistment offices.
Τhe enlisting process has been set for October 30th and 31st at the Limassol Training Camp.
