But they're trusted enough to become citizens. Which means they can bear arms.

They're just no longer to swear that they will.

My guess would be something more along the lines of conscientious objector. They mention religious reasoning as well.

But the article makes it sound like you can instead vow to help out in a non combative role. Which to me seems pretty legit. Not everyone is for for combat, but messengers, orderly's and transport (just to name a few) are all equally valuable roles in a situation that this oath has been envisioned for.
