Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Reference:

FOR EVENTUAL MILITARY SERVICE (APPEL A LA DEFENSE)

Law 97-1019 of October 28, 1997 radically changed the requirement of National Service which concerns young men (born after December 31, 1979) and young women (born after December 31, 1982).

National Service now comprises two steps:

1) Registration

Before attending an ‘Information Day’ (known as Appel de Préparation à la Defense) young adults must first register. This must be done at age 16.
- To be registered if you reside outside of France, all you need do is register with the Consulate.

For more information on registering see the website of the Ministry of Defense.

2) ‘Information Day’ (Appel de Préparation à la Défense)

‘Information Day’ is held to inform young adults about national defense issues and the duties of citizenship. The event is held once a year at the Consulate. Young adults are notified of the date and arrangements for their participation provided they registered with the Consulate before December 31 of the year preceding the ‘Information Day.’

Young adults who have not attended an ‘Information Day’ before their 25th birthday may not:
- take the baccalauréat or any administrative examination
- obtain a French driver license

Exceptionally : Persons born in 1979 are not required to attend an ‘Information Day,’ but they must register with the Consulate.

For more information see the website of the Ministry of Defense.

For all information on registration and the ‘Information Day,’ you may contact the Consulate at 212 606-3636.

On June 8, the ship welcomed 63 French students who were participating the ine Journée d’Appel de Préparation à la Défense (JAPD), a short civics and military training mandatory for all high-school-aged French students. Students visiting the ship were welcomed by the officers and crew who spoke about the French Armed Forces and the career perspectives they offer. They also explained how the BEM Monge interacts with other vessels of the French Navy.
