Greek singer Antonis Remos found fit for army service, called to present himself

Athens, 17/5/2005 (ANA)

Sources within the Army General Staff revealed on Monday that well-known singer Antonis Remos has been found fit to carry out his army service by the Airforce Supreme Health Commission.
The singer had been relieved of army service at an earlier stage, based on his claim of suffering health problems that placed him in the lowest health category for army conscripts.

Following a review, however, Remos was placed in the highest health category for conscripts and will now be obliged to present himself for service at the Airforce Training Centre in Tripoli.

If the singer is found to be over 35 under army rules, he will be obliged to serve 45 days and can then buy off the remainder of his national service for 810 euros a month.

i had no idea this rule was in effect. he could certainly afford it. according to the military your age changes on the first of january each year. so hed have to be born in 1970.

Remos was born in 1970. Even if he does have the option of paying out, I doubt 12,000 Euros is going to dent his bank balance...
