===Military oath=== {{main|Finnish Defence Forces military oath}} All [[Conscription in Finland|Finnish conscripts]] are required to give the [[military oath]] or affirmation. The oath or affirmation is given in the end of the basic training using the formula: {{blockquote|I, (name), promise and affirm before the almighty and all-knowing God (''in affirmation'': by my honour and by my conscience) that I am a trustworthy and faithful citizen of the realm of Finland. I want to serve my country honestly and, to my best ability, seek and pursue her edification and advantage. I want everywhere and in every situation, during the peace and during the war, defend the inviolability of my fatherland, her legal system of government and the legal authority of the realm. If I perceive or gain knowledge of activity to overthrow the legal authority or to subvert the system of government of the country, I want to report it to the authorities without delay. The troop to which I belong and my place in it I will not desert in any situation, but so long as I have strength in me, I will completely fulfill the task I have received. I promise to act properly and uprightly, obey my superiors, comply with the laws and decrees and keep the service secrets trusted in me. I want to be forthright and helpful to my fellow servicemen. Never will I due to kinship, friendship, envy, hatred or fear nor because of gifts or any other reason act contrary to my duty in service. If I be given a position of superiority, I want to be rightful to my subordinates, to take care of their wellbeing, acquire information on their wishes, to be their councillor and guide and, for my own self, set them a good and encouraging example. All this I want to fulfil according to my honour and my conscience.<ref>[http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2007/20071443 Decree on conscription (''Valtioneuvoston asetus asevelvollisuudesta'' (1443/2007).] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515004221/http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2007/20071443 |date=2008-05-15 }} Retrieved 2008-01-09. {{in lang|fi}}</ref>}}
