Not really sure why they are even calling it National Service.

Apparently only 30,000 max would be allowed to do "Military Training".
Thats about 4% of current 18 year olds, the rest would do Community Service (or "volunteering" as they call it).

I bears little resemlance to what most people think of when you say "National Service".

Not that any of this matters, since they have about as much chance of winning as I do of winning the Lottery Jackpot this year.

(In fact, I'd say my odds of winning are far better atm).
