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 agree,national service should be brought back in. I was raised as an airforce child,loved every day of my father's years in it,he did quiet a few campanes over he's career,early 1940's,korea,vietnam retired when he didn't want to,war injuries.Had he's own parachute club in camden in the 1950's,I really loved that. You always saw respect and that's what the youth of today lack. Yep all those unemployed people out there should go into national service,learn a trade,it's not only soldering,you can learn other trades in the service as well,and they'll make more money than on the dole.
