Rachel Papo is an Israeli photographer, who after serving her own compulsory two years went back to photograph the lives of 18 year old Israel girls serving mandatory military duty.

Living in New Zealand where there is no such thing as mandatory military duty it was surreal to look through these images and see such young girls with guns slung casually across their shoulders. And it was odd to occasionally see these subjects do something I had done at that age.

You can view her collection, titled after her own experience Serial# 3817131, and be weirded out all by yourself at serialno3817131.com
