If you can't manage to do any of the above in a year then chances are you're not up to much so a years old school national service is just what they need. A wage, an education, a roof over their head, 3 meals a day and most likely some life changing life experience.
The krays did national service. Ive drunk with a few lads old enough to do it last time and the one thing they learnt was how to skive. The forces didnt want them last time and doubt if they would this time.mancitymick said:tweetstreet said:If you leave school and don't go onto further education a job or an apprenticeship with a year i'd say a year of this is a good idea.

Times have changed from when we had it last time. There is no way i want some dis-functional scroat who could not care less for authority at School come and work with me in the forces. We will have to build a bigger DQ' in Colchester

Would they get a issued with a tommy gun?tidyman said:As I tried explaining in the previous thread about this, this idea, as shit as it is, is a national citizens service and has very little in common with what we associate with military national service.
There is an option for some people's service to be incorporated within the armed forces but for the vast majority it will just be a years minimum wage working within their community.
From what I understand of it, a clearer title would be, national compulsory community service for non criminals.
