The MI5 only have 2600 recruits and only 1500 of these are actually spies but they hope to have 3500 recruits by 2008 and have 2500 of these being actual spies.\n\nI think that MI5 need alot more recruits now as there are so many people be trained for terrorist attacks.

No, he/she could not.  One has to be a citizen of the UK to join the British military.  I spoke to a recruiter once in the british army just on this very subject because I once thought about moving there...but no, sorry, you can't.

That they become real people again in about 5 years.

Well, what about the military?  He wil receive free training in a specialized career field, get money for college, have good insurance and housing benefits, and know that he's doing a damn fine service for the country and is respected throughout the nation.  This is, of course, provided that he is an American.  I don't really know how things work in other countries.  I'm sure I'll get flamed like heck for this answer, but its just a suggestion, and worth examining just as an option to the daily grind of civilian life.

I don't think they recruit people directly.CID and CBI are domestic organizations which pick up promising police officers.For that you will have to join the Indian Police Service.RAW is our foriegn intelligence agency-which is a fairly covert organization-but they I think take recruits from the military intelligence agencies like the Joint Cipher Bureau or the Signals Intelligence Bureau.RAW might also accept qualified officers from the military.However I am fairly certain that civilians are not taken into these organizations directly-you will have to be either in the Indian Police Service or the military.It is however much easier to join a domestic intelligence agency than a foriegn intelligence agency.I don't think age will be much of an issue here-22 is quite an acceptable age.The spectacle issue shouldn't be a problem either.You can get much more information at   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_Intelligence_agencies

I can't really say much for the education and family system, as that is not my subject, but I can tell you to be careful... British people don't seem to like people immigrating into their country... good luck.

Maybe, but perhaps it should be like some other countries, where everyone who meets the physical requirements should serve in at least some fashion. If not the military, then some other form of public service. If they attend college, then that service would be delayed until after college.\n\n  I served in the Army National Guard, the Air Force, and the Air National Guard, and don't regret it one bit. I left for medical reasons, but served a total of about 6 years, with 4 of them active. Those who don't serve have no idea of the mindset of a soldier. We are the last to wish a conflict, as we know that we will be doing the fighting. On the other hand, we know that without us, our country would be defenseless.\n\n  A single tour is really enough, and we would have plenty of troops to fulfill our missions. It would be a great educational opportunity for everyone, and they certainly would better appreciate this land we live in, just as you mentioned.

My brother in law is British and loves it here.  He doesn't want to go back except visit his family once a year.  He hasn't really faced too many problems.  Just some jobs he couldn't get until he became a citizen.

I served for 20 years and retired in '92.  One of the things we noticed during the run-up to Desert Storm was the number of people all over Europe, I was assigned to CINCUSNAVEUR support in London, who were screaming "Wait! We didn't know we might have to go to WAR!"  That was from people with 8 or 10 years in.  All we career types could say was "You're in the military, what did you think we were here for?"  If there is a good thing about the Iraqi conflict, which I opposed from the start, it is that our young service men and women have a clear understanding of for what they are signing up.  The young people who put their lives on the line for the rest of us are truly the best of our best.  I just wish our National Leadership valued them as they deserve.

I believe it should be mandatory to serve a minimum of 2 years in Federal Service, meaning that after high school you may choose among military service, local beautification, helping homeless or handicapped, physical infrastructure construction, etc. Not everyone is military material and the military does not need that many recruits. Benefits and pay will be given for those two years in Federal Service. Although it would detract from our concept of freedom for two years, it would teach social responsibility and make Americans earn their citizenship rather having it because they just so happened to be lucky enough to be born here.
