Mandatory service a subject that has come up a number of times over the years pushed by governments and countries alike and yes since the last world wars there will never be any compulsory war lotteries for the general public ever again for 18 year olds.

Generation Y and X are considered to have separated from the older generations, we as a generation are very mindset with broader views on life in general.

As a generation; look at life in somewhat a more modern prospective in ways of how we dress, how we conduct our self’s in the public eye, with modern ideals on how our future will be set out in relation to laws & human rights.

We look at our self’s as the more adventurist generations; fast learning, equipped with modern technology with a keen focus on what we want our future to be sculptured like.

Clearly we can see a lacking in mental growth structure consisting of leadership skills and focus in the ways of career direction making.

The fact that the younger generations coming through the system now are more and more housebound, less adventurist in the ways of exploring the great outdoors due to game consoles, online chat and mobile text msging.

Generation Y and below need an introduced setting at a point in their lives to counteract such things and in-turn strengthen their focus on what’s important for their future.

Introducing mandatory service at the age of 18 to 19 for one year of service within any of our countries military forces would help structure the minds and aims of our younger generations in an aim to not only speed up career choice decision making, but also sculpture mindset discipline required for maturity and leadership decisions, as well as helping younger generations to aim for realistic short and long term goals.

This program would be designed with the molding skills included via police recruitment as well as cadet and standard defence introduction training established with the structured bases of this proposal in-mind for the period no longer then 12 months.

The benefits to our country are the boosting of our armed force numbers, an increase in attendance relating to jobs, increase in creation of industry jobs, increase of part-time & full time military servicemen, further education applications such as universities, tafe colleges, training facilities and a more structured profitable economy.

Mandatory Service Australia Structured Breakdown

Intro;
Mandatory service age of 18 to 19 for one year of service within any of our countries military forces would help structure the minds and aims of our younger generations, in an aim to not only speed up career choice decision making, but also sculpture mindset discipline required for maturity and leadership decisions, as well as helping younger generations aim for realistic short and long term goals.

Assessment (optional);
An assessment will be required for all mandatory service entries to determine what choices are available to them according to Army, Navy & Air Force. These optional choices must also consist of multiple sub-categories in each section of the military forces.

Funding;
On implementation of the new introduction of mandatory service the budget for Universities, Tafe Colleges, Education Facilities & Centrelink will require an adjustment of funding to cover costs for this new setup according to the short fall of numbers normally in-entry to these establishments for the first year. Universities, Tafe Colleges and Education Facilities on this first year will only require the funding to support overseas students and physically disabled students. This may also be added to budget under education funding.

Time Length;
Time length for mandatory service in no longer then one year with option to continue full or part-time in the military service as an option. The reason for only 12 months is proven indicated via recruitment departments to work for the age group and older.

Requirements;
All mandatory service cadets 18 to 19 Navy, Army, Air Force are required no matter of choice of service to participate in marches (hand to eye coordination), drills (direction), exercise training (fitness), survival training (finding their way), weapons training (protection & fun), flag capturing (working under pressure and together), food preparation (independent cooking), hygiene & sanitation (ironing, proper cleansing), as well as team war games (team work), this may also include pre designed programs already created via police and defence recruitment .

Tax Fee Loan;
All mandatory service cadets will be entitled to a tax free loan of $4000 or cash bonus of $2000 to help them get a kick start in life for the work force or education etc on completion. This I have included to give all Australians an equal chance in independence no matter of class, gender or culture.

Entry Delay Exemption;
All mandatory service cadets are given a one year exemption from universities, tafe colleges, education facilities entry or work etc that is not taken of the standard one year pass universities, tafe colleges already offer. This means that if they are already working there will be a job for them with their employers on completion still and/or not affect studies.

Not Required;
Overseas visas, exchange students & the disabled (physical only) are exempt from Mandatory Service Australia only.

Who is Required;
It is mandatory for anyone 18 years of age or new year after completion of year 12 that is an Australian Citizen or Permanent Status, not a student visa or work visa from overseas or has physical disabilities’.

Service Listing;
All 18 year olds due for mandatory service can be obtained from tax office, centrelink and education facilities. This is to confirm entries that may have departed from school earlier than 18 or end of year 12.

Call to War;
In the event that there is a war, mandatory service cadets listed for compulsory service WILL NOT be asked to serve EVER!.

Only Full-Time, Part-Time & Reserves Army, Navy & Air Force at the age 19 years and over are required to serve their country for overseas & home security that must report as they have chosen free of will to protect and serve.

With this mandatory system setup the benefit of some cadets wishing to stay on at the age of 19 will booster rostered numbers to compensate service numbers in army, navy, air force and police service.
