One of the duties and obligations (Pflichten) of German men (from ages 18-23) is to commit at least 9 months of their time to either ''Zivildienst" (Civilian Service), or "Bundeswehr" (Armed Forces). Through the Zivildienst, men can do social work, such as hospitals, retirement homes, emergency medical services and possibly environmental protection, agriculture and public administration. Through the Bund, men can serve the federal country and pursue a career in it. They can also join the Luftwaffe (Air Force). Women can volunteer in these things.

*UPDATE: Since March 1, 2011 military service is no longer mandatory.

Here are some of the rights of Germans, once they turn 18:

+ They can be married.

+ They can get a driver's license.

+ They can continue on to a Universität after they complete the Abitur.

+ They can vote.
