Many girls were being RAPED in the National Service. If wanted a job, no bright enough, people resort to N/S, upon completion you get a certificate that entitles you to a government job if available.
It was not the same as the Army, more relaxed and a bit more training in trades. National Service was used for cheap manual labour,they were used for clearing bushes, building roads, cleaning trenches. I know Norman McLean very well, Mr. Spare Parts.
