Re: National Service
Sorry too young. I even avoided the CCF at school. No jumped up Vth former was going to tell me what to do.I did enjoy the school assault course though-well I was young and fit back then. The only disadvantage of not joining the CCF was not being allowed on the firing range-pity cos I had a good eye.
Get some in?-whitewash stones?-I bet it was loads of fun-not
Am I hurting you?-I should be, I`m standing on your hair,-get it cut

Re: National Service
My husband was one of the last to do compulsory national service - he went into the RAF and he says he had a great time and enjoyed it - taught him self discipline and made him grow up into a self reliant person. He thinks it would be worth re-introducing it. Anyone else think so.

I say bring it back and teach the young ones some discipline, how to respect others as well as putting some pride into their lazy backsides.

Re: National Service
Even the forces have changed now and its quite specialised I wouldn't fancy one of the rabble defending us. Although I do think there should be national service type camps for those who won't work, to make them realise the country and world doesn't owe them anything, its up to them to contribute.
