Who Needs a Gym?

It was the warmest day of the year Monday. Heading home I spotted this guy walking towards me in Jordbro. He was sweating profusely. The reason for that was his backpack that weighed around 45 kilo (99 Pounds). This is Fredrik. He works as a specialist instructor at the Amphibious Regiment at the Haninge garrison at Berga. He has had that job for around two years. Fredrik did his military service at the same regimen ( as a diver), and decided that he wanted a career in the military. I visited the regiment last summer and have a few photos in a flickr set. Fredrik figured that a brisk walk from the regiment to his home in Handen would be a tough workout, I think that was a correct assumption.
