    Theres definatly SOME good to it. Hell, maybe that will help reduce the crime rate too*. From what ive heard, you are forced to learn a skill, so more skilled workers.

    *Just came back from holiday. First taxi from the airport has dents in the doors from kids throwing rocks. Depressing here

      Probably. Pretty much anyone who wants to go career can.

      It’s 5-6 months for the shortest service. In my case I volunteered to drive big rigs, so 12 months and I got a driver’s license that would’ve required two years of lorry driving as a civilian. It’s been my backup plan in case my career in rocket science hadn’t worked out.
