National Guard Service can be reduced to 15 months

Posted on 21/01/2011 by admin

The new bill for the National Guard is at its final stages with the Parliament Defence Committee. According to Alithia newspaper, approval of the bill will open the road to reducing the National Guard Service down to 15 months and the decommission/merging of some army camps. The gap that will be created by the reduction in the service will be covered by recruiting Short-Service Soldiers.

Any updates to this? I heard there was a vote happening about reducing the time.

I totally agree with the above user.

I believe that the army should not be compulsory since most people do not want to do it.
And since we have democracy, the right thing would be to pay those who want to have a career in the army and train and educate them so that our army improves and not get worse.

Everyone can see that every year the number of people that do not want to do the army increases therefore the government should see this and come up with an effective plan to entice youngsters to want to join the army.

We want to be part of the E.U, therefore lets follow with the E.Us regulations.

Thanks

Recruiting a person that wants to be in the Army is always the better option, as they will want to be part of a team. The person who is drafted has no incentive.
