With numerous ex-service camps now becoming vacant due to the decrease in military spending, the fears of the increase of obesity amongst our young, no jobs to go to when leaving school and judging by this report the unfitness among our young, the time is now perfect for the introduction of a National Service scheme.
This need not be a military based National Service, more of a skills training service.
Upon leaving school both boys and girls would be obliged to leave their home surrounding and be shipped to these camps, which would be run by all those redundant service personal and older experienced tradesmen, who are finding it hard to get a job due to their age.
Before anyone says "how is the country going to pay for this scheme"? Well taking into account the savings in the various spin-offs of this scheme, it would be almost self financing.
