What are your military duties? The Swiss males are obligated to military service, under certain conditions can can they do an alternative civilian service, military service for women is voluntary. Whoever does not pay the compulsory military or civil service charges must pay a fee.
First to come to the civil service as an alternative to "real" military service. Civil Service takes longer than the normal one, and there still are lots of regulations in power in order to discourage/prevent people from switching to Civil Service.
Second, the length of the service has come down. So that I can only give you a short idea about what I had
> basic military service (RS) = 4 months
> after that, each year 3 weeks plus 3 days for about 12 years
> after that, for about a decade, one week each 2nd year
