I have been participating in the local militia for a year. Some days ago, I had a long trip with a group of friends. It was our original plan that we would travel for 14 days to many different places. However, it was only 5 days before I had to go to the training course of the militia. I don't want to cancel this trip, so I intend to skip this training course. I want to know if I am punished when evading the civil defense training course. Thank you.

Thank you for concerning FDVN’s legal services. Regarding your consulting requests, after studying the relevant legal documents, FDVN Law Firm would like to give you the following advice:
