I am on the cusp of getting a job, and I don't have a libreta militar, I don't know if they'll require one, I'll find out soon enough. But in general, what kind of companies require it? I really want to work where I could be working so I don't want to serve.
Has anyone one PBH ever served in the army? People treat it like it's a low institution in Colombia but I am sure it's not so bad if you pick the right place to be in. (Does anyone of this place BTW). Personally I don't want to go because I would like to work, so are there any ways of postponing service so that I could work legally, in case they do require it? ARGHHH!!! Women have it so good in Colombia.

Gator says on May 7, 2006, 08:30: I assume You are a Colombian National? if not the military requirement does not apply also there are age regulations and if you are a permanent resident of another country the card it not required.. I suggest to try and visit a Colombian consulate if you are not presently in Colombia. Also you can check out the army's web site.

Aji1 says on May 7, 2006, 08:41: Military Service In Colombia I have two brother in-laws that served in the Colombian Army. One did 2 years stationed in Bogotá. Unfortunately he never lost the luxury of having mama close by. He is chupando teta somewhat to this day. My other brother in-law made a career out of it. Politics kept him from making Colonel when he retired at twenty years. He spoke highly of it and had fun in it. I don't think he wanted to retire when he did. Of course he had rank and was over a lot of lower rank grunts. It was my understanding you had to have the libreta militar on you when out in public in case you were checked by military police. I have myself seen them checking twenty something’s at a transmilinio station myself. I have another brother in-law that managed to escape serving at all. I am not sure what the deal in Colombia is, if serving is by a drawing or what. If you have a cedula extranjero with permission to work I think you are ok after you go stand in various lines for three days and get some document saying the same. Good luck with it.
