    Both Swedish and Finnish these days. Swedish is the only official command language within the brigade excluding coastal jaegers that speak mostly Finnish.

    UudPr (Nylands Brigade) is a part of the Navy these days and the rest of the Navy is either bilingual or Finnish only (excluding those who co-operate with Coast Guard. They speak mostly Swedish).

    That is what is all about in being a bilingual country. Some areas are bilingual and some are not. Almost every people is bilingual but it is another question if you want to speak the 'other' language or not. Fertile soil for political wackos.
    If you go in the east or north you have no much use for Swedish and speaking Finnish is not so common in the coastal areas. Not to speak about north where they speak Sami language. I think it is the same with Sweden and Norway in the Lapland.
    I live in a bilingual city and i'm all for it. A richness. An important part of our culture, history and everyday life.

    I have one neighbor who refuses to speak Finnish and another who refuses to speak Swedish. If/when they have something to say to each other, then it's me, wife or kids who have to serve as a sort of a translators between them. Personally i think they just want to make their own life too difficult and complicated.

    That is a bit of complicated, lol. Have to get another beer.

    Hi guys,

    I am currently doing a pre-apprenticeship course in Mechanical Engineering (Fitting and Machining) and I am looking to get an apprenticeship when I finish my course in about 9-10 weeks from now. I'd love to hear from any guys who work in the industry, also boilermakers / fabrication people as well because I am currently trying to decide whether to go the engineering route or perhaps more fabrication side of things and if so light fab (sheet metal) or heavy fab (boiler maker etc.)

    I live in Australia by the way. Any advice would be appreciated =]

    PS. Before I decided to do this course I was studying Commerce at University, and before that I have worked in various Sales roles and as a Production Manager in the Digital Print and Media Industry, it's taken me a while to work out what I actually want to do, well I'm still working it out but I've narrowed it down to something in the Engineering/Fabrication industry.

    Cheers,

    john
