The young man who is fighting his conscription notice has been told his case can be heard in the supreme court. Part of his case is that conscription is not gender neutral and also that the government does not go to reasonable lengths to recruit volunteers before conscripting. Should be an interesting case to follow. What measures are taken to get volunteers?

I've never known any recruitment drive by the regiment, but lets face it, it wouldnt satisfy the establishment requirements anyway.  I cant wait for these guys to fail. Anyone who has done their duty in the regiment knows what this consciencious objector nonsense is all about. The vast majority of the objectors are the some ones sitting on Bermuda's walls conscienciouly objecting to getting off their lazy a**es and getting a job. I loved these guys when I was in the Regimental Police. And, it was great for the moral of those who chose to do their time to see them getting rounded up and thrown in the guard room. Hats off to those who do their time. They love it or hate it, but they do their duty.
