General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

1944 left school, went away to sea(fleetwood and hull trawlers)1947 went into the royal navy(volunteered-bad carreer move)1949 went into the merchant navy, untill i met my future wife edna.in all just over twenty years. so whats my point...in all of these work experiences, self discipline was a must, and very soon became a natural thing with you.you had a respect for others, and in turn they for you...you were in fact a team player.i wasnt called up, i volunteered, but to answer the question, two years call up would benefit the younger element in our society, who know very little, or nothing at all about personel responsibility.
