  There is one woman going through flight school at the Ljunbyhed flotillia now
to become fighter pilot for the Swedish Airforce. I assume that it hasn't been
any great changes in procedure, because the military meteorologists that has 
gone through basic flight school on Ljungbyhed has included a large percentage
of women (the batch I know of had >50% women.)
  
  I'm not sure about the situation in the army, but I know that the last part
of the navy, the subs, were opened not long ago.
