There needs to be a 'controlled' training program for young boys and it must not be compulsory.

Who should be trained?

Year 12 male graduates

Must volunteer

Must be physically and mentally sound with no criminal record.

Who will train them?

Retired Army troopers and officers will be given an option to report to their local garrison. Spec ops retirees to get a priority.

They retire in late 40s when they are yet to marry their kids and are still fit for training roles. It will solve that problem.

Where will they be trained?

In local garrisons and open fields set up by the Army in all provinces.

What would they learn?

A modular course encompasing following aspects of war fighting.

Basic descipline and drill
Hand to hand combat
Navigation
Using and maintaining fire arms of all kinds
Crowd control
First aid
Civil Defense
Military Communication
Survival tactics
Basic human intel training
Basic Ambush, Sabotage, Propaganda training.

Principles/Ideology?

Candidates will be taught the Pakistani value system, history and geopolitics.

The ultimate aim would be to build descipline in the youth, a sense of nation/brotherhood and to raise another line of defense should the Army need reinforcements.

They will also act as 'Raza Kar' during events like Eid, Ashura etc to beef up security so the law enforcement can do its job properly.

Perks?

Program graduates would receive a certificate after 10 week of training to help them in future employment and easy Uni admission.

Extra marks in high school exam.

NIC/DL and a fire arms license.

They should also get a free rifle from the state.

Easy entery into civil/military services


Such a program will have great benefits for our society, will create a sense of duty, descipline and sacrifice. It would also be the ONLY way to get a firearm. In the long term our armed citizenry will have much better gun discipline too.

Thanks

It provides a ready pool of young men & women willing to join the armed forces.

We have a good pool even without this NCC :)


Inculcates a sense of discipline and faith in your own self - I often come across people in corporate world who proudly recall their association with the NCC as students and recount the training they recieved in camps.

This is emotional note, is there any practical exhibition of the same? any incident?

This is in addition to the advantages given to those cadets who wish to join the army.

Not enormous

Yes it should be started for both male and female

I do not want to get into a one - on - one on this.

We have a system that works & are happy with it. The young boys & girls too come in large numbers.

Its not emotional but practical.

WTH? In sub-continent, there is no shortage of people willing to join the army. Now you don't want terrorists with Military training. do you?
 
.
Pakistan has a lot of unemployment people,they may use this training for committing crimes or joining separatists movements
Its how you see it half glass full or half glass empty. This could serve as nursery to identify best to join law enforcing. And a person who has gone through military training, is always left with some discipline and humanity. Unless you are training mercenaries

They use to conduct NCC training in colleges back in the days what happened to that is it still in practice

The Pakistani population is not what it was before. We no longer have that feeling of patriotism that we used to have. It's just Punjabi, Balochi, Sindhi, Mohajir, and so on. Military training will most likely be misused.
In majority of the cases this fragmented bunch will convert to patriot. When you listen to National Anthem every day and you have indoctrination of nationalism, it does bear fruit.

Pakistan is shrouded with the dark shadows of multiple problem. I blame it on self discipline, which is lacking among Pakistanis. This fact is evident on roads in shape of violation of traffic laws, building laws, hygienic laws, adulteration laws, etc etc. If military training is made mandatory for every person reaching the age of 18, chances are we will improve and emerge as a great nation. My hypothesis is based on the results of Singapore policy on compulsory military training for year longs and still continuing. Today they proudly claim to the most self discipline nation in the world.

I agree after 12th class a person should be given 3 to 6 months military training and if war takes place Jihad should be announced and along with Army people should be given chance to particpate

Meh, if that is the case, the cadets should be watched carefully. Any suspicious activities should be dealt with strictly to make this fruitful.

Should have done like , ISRAEL that's the best way, only then people's will understand the importance of one United nation!

Tomorrow you will say each pakistani should be given 2yrs of compulsory religious training to make them spiritually and morally correct in true Islamic sense. Then probably a short training on how to live a married life, then probably a short training on how to raise children.

There are few things that are building blocks of society, let society determine and influence the individual in positive way to grow up as gentleman.
