By the regiment K3 in Karlsborg gave food poisoning to over 100 people and on another occasion they were served moldy bread.
In Gothenburg the conscripts were given so little food that they starved and lost up to six kilos in weight, according to a report from the Duty Council.
hunter soldiers lose six kilos in weight, however, this does not mean that they are starving, according to the Armed Forces, even though a perfect physique is required to begin the training.
– It is not strange to lose weight when you eat on a fast times and exercise daily. The important thing is that the soldier is followed up so that you know why he has lost weight, says Johanna Frejme, head of communications at Amf 4.
The soldiers in rainy Gothenburg also reportedly lacked rain clothing, which limited the so-called amphibious regiment's ability to operate when it's raining outside.
– It's not good, of course, that we in the amphibious regiment don't have clothes that can withstand rain, says Frejme to SVT.
