It is true though that the Gendarmerie is considered as part of the Armed Forces in European countries.
Don't know what's so special about our service years in the military, until recently, pretty much all of the Europeans male citizens were obliged to be part of the Military service for at least 1 year when turning 18, I'm no different but nothing really to be so excited about, just my opinion.
Very different for someone who has actually participated in military combat mission, those guys deserves my upmost respect.
