Purpose: To create a national program to supplement our military and our public service capabilities.

SEC I

1) Article 1 enacts the National Service Program which mandates that upon (i) graduation of secondary school and (ii) reaching adulthood, all adults will be required to choose to::

i) serve a two-year-term of military service or,
ii) serve a two-year-term of non-military national community service, which will include but not be limited to government service in public works projects, forestry service, hospitals, etc., or a period of service in one or more private-sector organizations such as a public agency, a nonprofit or civil society organization. Only service in organizations that are a part of a government-recognized network will be applicable for credit.

2) This bill creates the National Service Council, whom will be responsible for implementing all criteria beyond this legislation regarding national community service. The Ministry of Defense will be responsible for matters concerning national military service.

SEC. II

vi) detailed evidence and testimony from community leaders is provided demonstrating the applicant served four-or-more years of consistent participation in one-or-more community service organizations or any civilian organization directly comparable to military service, etc. before reaching the age of 18. The requirements for this exception will be stringent.
