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.

It is an interesting concept, but it does not reflect australian values. I.e. freedom of choice. Australia is all about treating people with respect and achieving what you want in life without hurting anyone in the process. Making it compulsory would teach teenagers discipline, and how to follow orders, but it may also encourage them not to think for themselves, or expose them to things that no young person should be exposed to. The training in relation to fitness and medicine etc would be wonderful life education that would benefit society.
It's got it's pros and it's cons definitely.
