Sor Dor 9 - What Is It?

[Erawan]

Can anyone enlighten me as to what 'sor dor 9' is for? When is it supposed to be completed? I think it may only apply to male Thai nationals. I haven't been able to get a clear and concise answer on this one yet.

It's a piece of paper by the way... not sure if that really helps.

Hah! I fret not Pauly! I actually did go up for enlistment though, although I got turned down since I didn't have this 'sor dor 9'. I was the only person who wanted to join from my amphur as well - you would of thought they would of let the only willing volunteer join.

I've been told though, everything should be in place for next year though, so I can join then - whether I like it or not . I may have come to my senses by that time. I can always abscond though.

I just wanted to know what it was exactly. When why I supposed to have filled it out? I'm guessing it's purpose is just to say that I had reached the age of 18, didn't do the military cadet thing so by the time I'm 21, I have to go draw if I hadn't already joined.
