	Military service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military service is service in an army or other military organisation, whether as a chosen job or as the result of an involuntary draft (in that case usually termed conscription).
		The Czech Republic abolished compulsory military service on December 31, 2004.
		Military and alternative service was nine months long and in recent years the majority of conscripts chose to perform alternative, rather than military, service.

	About compulsory military service -- in a committed voice
		Military service under the dictatorship was unquestionable and sacrosanct.
		According to military experts, this tendency means the decline of mass armies, which is made necessary mainly by the development of military technologies.
		It is often cited among the advantages of compulsory regular military service that through the process of conscription, a great number of readily mobile mass reserves is available if the elite, professional army, which acts as a backbone of defence fails to hold up the enemy’s attack.

	Military Service
		Military service members and their families make many financial sacrifices to serve their country.
		The salaries of young military personnel are relatively modest and, in some cases, even qualify families for food stamps and other public benefits.
		Fortunately, there are laws and benefits that can help military families with their personal finances, especially in times of active duty deployment during wartime.

	Military Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The military itself has struggled to find ways to embrace the concept of more young people serving shorter tours of duty without compromising the requirements of military cohesiveness and readiness, particularly in the era of the high-tech battlefield.
		Because service members often train for a year or more before arriving at their first unit, the military services prefer four- to six-year enlistment contracts and put a premium on retaining skilled careerists.
		For them, as for me and for so many others, military service can be the foundation for a lifelong commitment to public service and the source of a deep appreciation for the importance of civic engagement in a democracy.

	Conscription - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military service is normally performed in the regular armed forces, but the 1984 law does allow for conscription into the reserve forces.
		Military service for Swiss men is obligatory according to the Federal Constitution, and includes 18 or 21 weeks of basic training (depending on troop category) as well as annual 3-week-refresher courses until a number of service days which increases with rank (260 days for privates) is reached.
		For example, the Argentinian military service was known as la colimba; the word colimba is a composite word made from the initial syllables of the verbs correr (to run), limpiar (to clean) and barrer (to sweep), as it was perceived that all a conscript did during service was running, cleaning and sweeping.

	The Civil War Military Telegraph Service
		The military exigencies brought Sanford as censor and Eckert as assistant general manager, who otherwise performed their difficult duties with great efficiency; it must be added that at times they were inclined to display a striking disregard of proprieties and most unwarrantedly to enlarge the scope of their already extended authority.
		Beneficial and desirable as were the civil cooperation and management of the telegraph service in Washington, its forced extension to armies in the field was a mistaken policy.
		While most valuable elsewhere, the military telegraph was absolutely essential to successful operations in the valleys of the Cumberland and of the Tennessee, where very long lines of communication obtained, with consequent great distances between its separate armies.

	Military Service and the COGs, Churches of God, Army
		But now inquiry is made about this point, whether a believer may turn himself unto military service, and whether the military may be admitted unto the faith, even the rank and file, or each inferior grade, to whom there is no necessity for taking part in sacrifices or capital punishments.
		Sadly, military service is another area where several claiming to be in the Church of God have departed from the faith.
		Military service is not mentioned in the CGOM's statements of belief.
