The husband of my wife's best friend has been conscripted.
Apparently, back in the Soviet Union days when he was in university, you could opt to take a course through some sort of "military department" in lieu of actually performing military service. Needless to say most people chose the course. Unfortunately, this has come back to haunt all of these people as now they are considered as having had some military training and are being conscripted in the first wave.
