00:00What do you think about young people doing national service?
00:02To be honest with you, I weren't aware about it up until a couple of months ago
00:07and I don't think that they should to be honest because there's a lot more opportunities for
00:12young people and I think we're all pushing young people to do other jobs such as like
00:18working for the NHS and stuff like that that's more important.
00:23They shouldn't have to be forced to do that and it should be their own choice.
00:27I think it should be encouraged. I think for 16 to 18 year olds it should be pushed into
00:31into that sort of work. I think it's an area that's not pushed enough in
00:35education and not enough people are aware of working in that in that sector.
00:41Do you know what I think it would be a good thing, especially this day and age where
00:48like employment levels are the way that they are and the way that kids can be,
00:56I know without sounding old-fashioned back in my day, but there's a certain lack of discipline
01:05that's kind of supported by the services that we have around our kids and I think
01:13something like the National Service it will give them that it'll be good for them character
01:18building in a nutshell without going on too much but I think yeah I do agree with it and I think
01:24most countries that still do it seem to have a better workforce and just respect the rankings of
01:34there's an adult there's a child there's other people that you're part of a team and what you
01:39do affects other people on a massive scale rather than just being kind of in your own world and
01:47yeah yeah being accountable that's it so yeah I think it's a good thing.
01:51What do you think about young people doing National Service?
01:55I think it's an interesting way to develop a different range of skills and absolutely as a
02:00way to you know encourage exploring finding your own identity through adversity.
