Due to the same reasons he was sent to the serve obligatory military service at the Auxiliary technical battalions (PTP) in 1953. For his medical education he could teach the first aid there; due to the events in Hungary and emergency service at the border he spent three years. After returning home he was placed in the State psychiatric hospital in Jihlava, where he met his future wife, who worked as an emergency nurse there. He was sentenced to prison for seven months for organising events with his catholic friends; he was banned to return to Jihlava and went to Ostrava with his wife to work in the mines, but later he taught in a school training centre.
