Sounds like a Sven and Ole joke.
Norway's mandatory military service is intended to toughen up the Arctic nation's young men and women.
But six of its young military police recruits who were forced to go for a freezing, naked run – and consequently caught frostbite – appear to have been pushed too far.
In an incident swiftly condemned by the Norwegian army, six novices at a barracks in Setermoen – some 160 miles north of the Arctic Circle – were sent for an unscheduled jog in the early hours of Monday morning.
They were forbidden from wearing any clothes or footwear, despite temperatures of -20C (-4F).
Unsurprisingly, all six required medical treatment for frostbite on their return to the base.
…It was not specified on which part of their bodies the six recruits were suffering from frostbite.
