In the US, check with the Social Security Administration, your Federal & State congressman, county welfare or social service agencies and the Veterans Administration, if you served in the  Military.

This is a very good question.\n\nI do not think it should be required for citizenship, but I do think it could be tied into certain "benefits". I firmly believe that true service would help most people, lower unemployment (military training translates to outside employment), and lessen the "gimme, gimme, gimme a handout" crap that is very widespread. Why should people be given welfare when they are able bodied enough to serve in the military? Why should people squeeze money from the Fed for schooling, when they can earn that benefit by serving in the armed forces?

The United States Military is not a defense service.  Nor is the Indian Military.  The only true Self Defense Force is the Japanese military.  They are prohibited by law to engage in any combat action other than self defense of their country.  And that may change in the next 50 years...

well that depends on what services they provide really

In other countries military service IS mandantory for at least 2 years for all able bodied people, men or women.\nIt would serve to teach some much needed job skills and maybe some people would not have the desperation that makes them commit crimes. This is my humble opinion, I wish I had been able to go in but I am "4-F"

At this time their are about 1.4 million people who could be considered on active duty.  This number includes ALL of our armed forces.  This does not include reserves, or guard.  That is a mighty small number when you think about our commitments.

DO NOT LAUGH.. but In the cases you mentioned above.. that is.. no college or no millitary.. I STRONGLY recommend that a person go into the Peace Corp for 2-4 years. Great experience.. GREAT fun... Think about it !!

Your compass is actually divided into mils, not miles.  Your compass must be a military style compass as mils is a unit that the military uses.  It is an abbreviation for a milliradian.  The NATO definition of a milliradian is 1/6400 of circle, thus the 64 on your compass.\n\nThere are 17.78 mils to a degree.  To convert to degrees, you will need to divide the mils by 17.78.

Are you kidding? The IRR is the preferred source of manpower shortages in the Army and the Marines. What branch of service and MOS means everything. They need MP's and Infantry. They pretty much will leave the rest alone.

ever since military service became voluntary, the number of upper middle class (and higher) children serving has declined to just about zero.  this is because (a) they typically have more options in terms of jobs and so don't have to use the military as a way to get training/education/employment and (b) because no matter how patriotic they may claim to be, they don't really want to die for their country.  this disconnect is a serious issue as our government continues to evolve, since it is much easier for our elected officials to promote war as a solution to solving the problems of the US since they have zero experience with true warfare and because they have no one who will be directly impacted by the fighting.  it's the equivalent of monday morning quarterbacking.  either military service needs to be mandatory for everybody (reinstating a draft for example) or military service needs to be a requirement for election to certain posts (senators and presidents at least).  there's a motto from the movie Starship Troopers - "Service Means Citizenship" where the most common way for a person to earn citizenship and the right to vote/reproduce was through military service.  Not a bad idea.

A great deal depends on which branch of the military you joined.  While the Army & Marine Corps are primarily ground combat related services, the Air Force & Navy have different purposes.\nThere are positions in both that can go into ground combat but the vast majority never face that same task.
