They'll sleep through the boring bits, but they'll be awake when they learn to wire explosives...Teach 'em all the boring bits.

Don't teach them the wiring explosives bit. Drill, drill, drill.... then teach them how to twirl rifles. Then they can have a rifle twirling face off... like break dance "battles."
TOG, you don't know what I am talking about, do you?
What.
You want to give future criminals military training?
They don't offer that system any more in Australia, but he is a prime example of what somebody set on the right path can become. Just because somebody commits a crime as a youth doesn't mean they have to be an adult criminal.
Not such a stupid idea. One of the best instructors I have ever had (an Artillery Sergeant) was a young offender (stole a car).... he was given a choice by the magistrate, time in lock up or join the army.

Are you sure?
Because some volunteers just ain't good enough, period, and sometimes I'd rather have someone who's fit for duty even though that person doesn't want to do it. You get issued a pair of subordinate motivators while you're at boot camp so that you can use it when you climb the ladder a bit.
If the guy can't run the mile in less than 7 minutes and he's got to be able to do that tomorrow, I can't get a fat, obese, mentally retarded volunteer to do that.
With good leadership, you can do some pretty good things with draftees.
Then again, I served in a rifle company so I could be biased.
Yeah they do try.
These morons think that you improve morale by coddling and sending singers to sing for the troops etc. No way. The best morale booster is good training which instills a sense of confidence and knowledge that when it comes to your MOS, you are the best in the world.
THAT'S what boosts morale.
