Maybe the good news is that there's no more need for contact officers going to schools and universities in order to inform the kids and students about career opportunities in the Bundeswehr.
As it appears the kids might as well take a closer look at their country's armed forces themselves.......

The whole thing reminds me of an incident that occured a bit less than a month ago. Me and some colleagues had a couple of beers and (being drunk) we decided it might be a good idea trying to conquer the famous Tour de France mountain of Alpe d'Huez with mountainbikes. So we packed our stuff and drove to France.
During our trip through three countries (Germany, Switzerland & France) we almost made it past all borders without being controlled once. Well almost. When entering Germany coming from Switzerland our vehicle was stopped and our driver (veeery junior), who hadn't dealt with customs or federal police before, got very nervous.

female customs trooper: "Where you coming from?"
Junior: "Eerrrm, eeerr, eerrm, dude where we've been? eerrm ..... oh yeah, Alpe D'Huez, eerrm France!"
Now I thought she'd ask us to pull the car out of the line so they can take a look at it/us. Instead:
female customs trooper: "Business or pleasure?"
Junior: "Eerm, pleasure"
female customs trooper: "Ok. Have a safe ride home."

Now I'm everything but pro "police state" but seriously, if a driver can't remember where he's been, shouldn't it be normal to check the car and the passengers?
Even if one could assume that a very young driver might just get nervous when dealing with authorities, I actually got mad at her for not checking us.
