What are the thoughts on National Service & a year in the Services just out of school? I think it is a great idea, make kids grow up & be responsible. Both male & female.

I am from a military background as both of my parents were in the army and I followed in their footsteps. I had a fabulous time, made lots of friends and traveled. It helped me to be responsible and make good life choices. I worked with National Service men and some liked it and some didn't but most that went in as boys came out as men. I think National Service is a good idea for both sexes.
