Hungary has conscription, training for 1 year, but it's quite easy to get out of. If you have any sort of illness that affects your performance and you get a doctor to agree then you can get out of it. Anything from bad hay fever to back pains will get you out of it and if a doctor is your friend you can probably get them to exaggerate a problem you have. You can also "postpone" the service if you go to university immediately after finishing high school and don't take a year out. Then they can still effectively conscript you if there is a war but you don't have to do the 1 year service that you'd do if you didn't go to uni. As you can imagine, this means there is a rush to get into even the crappest universities and most wierd courses just to study something and not have to do military service.
They are thinking about scrapping it though as it's too expensive and the country has no money.
