longhorn,
"The reason the idea of 1 year of service intrigued me is because I have seen so many graduates that are clueless and self serving, it hit me without to much thought put into it that it might wake some of these kids up, but I can see where that would really detract from those who truly want to serve."
I could not agree with this any more. I think the benefits are astronomical, however, I just have an issue of forcing people to do it. I hate to say it but, if a kid wants to be a deadbeat, self serving, moron, then that is his God-given right and he should be free to do that. Hey there is good money there...see Paris Hilton, etc.
I will be pimping the service very hard to my kids and I hope they will have the opportunity to choose to serve and do it because it means something to them.
