Hey Officiald...,
The SNP does not favour reintroducing conscription, which ended in the UK in 1960, and which is being phased out by many nations like France, in favour of professional forces. The SNP has costed its defence policies on the basis of professional, not conscripted, service personnel.

December 1960. I was eligible for it on leaving school in 1958, but if you went to University it was deferred until you had graduated. By the time I graduated, it had been abolished. I don't actually remember becoming aware of this at any particular time during my studies, but it was a long time ago.
