Värnpligt

[Dave T.]

On the FHL microfilm #1043370, page 419, is a Household Examination record, 1891- 1899, Hakarps parish, Jönköping Län.  I could not find this record on Genline, so I do not have a GID to give you.  At Line 1 of this record is my great grandfather, Karl August Bergström.    
Across line 1 under the column heading Värnpligt are some numbers that I do not understand and a single word that I cannot make out.  This must be related to military service.  Can someone help me with the meaning of all this, and where can I go next for more information about it?

Värnpligt (värnplikt) was military service. The older word was Beväringen, it was a forerunner to the National Service System. Every male between the age of 21 to 25 was required to serve in the military.
 
If the numbers look like for example 101 42/92, that is his conscription ID number: soldier number 101 in training company number 42, year 1892.  
 
According to Hans Högman's pages http://www.algonet.se/~hogman/swegen.htm during 1886-1901 the Jönköping regiment had training company areas number 40-47.
 
The single word might be for example inskr/inskriven (registered), kasserad (unsuitable as soldier), frikallad (excempt), or something else...
