      Most people in the armed forces never even shoot in the direction of a person, let alone kill.

      I would hope to see something like 6 months basic - armed forces plus health, basic education, fitness, key life skills like how to swim. 6 months trade learning basic engineering, electronics, first aid, computer skills, followed by 12 months in standby for manpower - disaster relief, infrastructure, yes also deployments.
