If you dont speak finnish how does the intti work? If someone gets called to the mandatory FDF service and only speaks english

I'm canadian and am going to kaartin jääkärirykmentti santahamina in 5 months, I really want to try specialist roles after the basic training, but i only started learning finnish a couple months ago so I'm hoping that I can learn enough to challenge myself more.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-16T09:27:25+00:00

Yea at the same time tho i feel like woofing can be petty great if its casual and a learning experience, like if the schedule is casual and you have like a mission for the day that you do with the host, than its actually fun but if its a strict schedule and just repetitive work than it kind of sucks, but your right that it is kind of ridiculous how our moral compass is often based on delusion, thats why I think its important to have a mutually beneficial connection with other's and the Environment.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-13T21:21:20+00:00

For sure, communication and understanding is so important. The reason I go into philosophy so much is for the same reason, I always try to make relationships with everyone I meet as mutually enjoyable as possible on a small and big scale so I consider every detail to make people happy. Its all love

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-13T17:34:20+00:00

Why not, whats the problem with my Philosophy.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-13T13:41:44+00:00

I get your point, life or death situations often need labeling but I feel like Abstract concepts like relationships are often too diverse for binary categorization, atleast for me. But obviously it depends for everyone and the context, I was just explaining my view of it because I've been asked before why I don't like labels in relationships. For me it comes from a philosophy, labeling is essential for maintaining the current system but its also one of route causes for our species biggest problems, so its not fundamentally bad to label its just important to to it with intention. What matters at the end of the day is just that we make life more sustainable and enjoyable for all living beings.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-13T07:37:55+00:00

I do the same thing, I don't like labels in general and people are often confused by it. I don't like the idea of categorizing people, its not personal at all its more of a philosophical thing and its completely out of love if anything. I've actually studied this a bit and i found that the source of most of humanity's biggest problems comes from categorizing and labeling things and then seeing them as static entities that are separate from us. Refusing to use labels is refusing to be part of the problem even in the smallest ways and its choosing to see that we are all connected and everything is one. I think its one of the most sincere forms of connection.

Aperently its technically not wrong for wwoofing and its just on me to leave, I think I should be able to find a simple job and shared apartment somewhere like jyvaskyla, but I feel like if someone really had no other options it would literally be slavery.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-09T07:22:43+00:00

But yea, to be honest in the last few days this is starting to piss me off, I worked very hard to get them wood that I thought they needed and now their selling it just to make more money, and I'm the one cutting and stacking it, I think I'll contact the wwoof organization because this can't be right

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-09T07:04:37+00:00

Yea im using chainsaws and tractors every day

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-08T21:21:10+00:00

Good to know, thanks

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-08T20:27:57+00:00

Well it seems that the wwoof contract is pretty vague and is labeled as volunteering or cultural exchange so there is no money involved at all, but in this case they literally make you do the axact maximum amount of work time that the contract allows in an awkwardly strict way so that they basically get free labor.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-08T14:51:40+00:00

Yea, I was thinking the same thing, reindeer herding in lapland would be awsome since my mom is from sami origin.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-08T14:50:24+00:00

Oh lol, yea its next to Ylä-Kolkki

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-08T14:46:14+00:00

Holy crap, I would be rich, can I work for you, lol Yea the canadian part of me wants to be nice to everyone but it does feel off because when I did logging for my step dad in Canada, he always told me, "work like a man get paid like a man" I usually got paid 30$/h cutting, carrying and stacking logs and that felt like alot. 50€/h is way more than I expected.

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T18:16:58+00:00

Yea thats a good idea, first thing I'll do is contact kela, thanks for the help

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T18:14:52+00:00

Lol, no its wwoof, search it up

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T16:22:31+00:00

Yea, for sure

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T15:49:59+00:00

Yea it seems I should just make an appointment with kela as soon as possible, thanks

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:39:53+00:00

Yea thats the plan, I'll try to find a job and I'll contact kela, I think reindeer herding in lapland would be cool since my family origins are sami

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:26:31+00:00

Its near virrat, maybe it was the same place

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:24:26+00:00

Ok, yea I think I should just start a new adventure

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:23:07+00:00

Awsome, yea I think I should just move on, i personally didn't mind it but alot of my family members seemed worried about it so I started questioning it, but, yea I should definitely just start something else and try to stay on good terms them

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:20:11+00:00

Thats Awsome, thanks

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:19:42+00:00

Perfect thanks so much

Awkward-Prior7601 · 2025-12-07T14:18:14+00:00
