This year there is going to be another Dutch Army demo weekend of 29 and 30 of May.

Next year its going to be skipped one time because of a budget cut so its a must to go to this year. Because of these budget cuts there wont be a navy demo weekend in Den Helder this year.

It being held at the Johannes Postkazerne (army base) in Havelte. (Drenthe)

I wont be there, but make sure you make a closeup from the new camouflages, a nice square of fabric with the patern very well visible (goed glad gestreken).
I might want to give it a shot skining :D

Because i am interested in joining the airforce after my ''middelbare school''. But on the other hand, the army is still a dream as well.
Better get yourself a medical check-up before your exams mate, I've many pilot boys' dreams being crushed...
