After missing out on the vacant Force India race cockpit for 2008, Christian Klien has been summoned by the Austrian army to do six months of mandatory military service this year.
The 24-year-old was on Thursday ordered to report for duty at Vorarlberg, the western province that houses his home town Hohenems. His hair was cut, his back was straightened and the surly curl to his lip was replaced by a bright eye and a strong chin.
After basic training in Texas, he will be sent to work as a Jeep driver in Freiburg, West Germany, far from the nearest recording studio or movie lot. Klien's's manager, the old carny who called himself Colonel Tom Parker, wangled a two-month draft deferment so Klien could finish filming 'King Creole' for Hal Wallis and Paramount Pictures.
