Re: National Service in the British Military
We had YOPS (or was it YETIs?) serving with us. Most eventually signed-on at age 18, but one lad, the bane of his SNCO's life, just tore up his uniform and walked off the base.
Then there was YTS, followed by "volunteering" as a part of the Baccalaureate course. Most in our twins' year refused to work in Care Homes or Special Needs Schools, so ended-up Charity Chugging inside supermarkets (too cold and wet outside for the poor dears).
