This bill would create a diploma to die for---literally! I oppose any form of forced servitude for a high school diploma just as I oppose any for of slavery.

Nate you should know better this is Unconstitutional and not legal. Read our State Constitution Article IV and please had out copies to your cohorts.

This is not right to force young people to make a choice to either go to college/trade school or Military?? You don’t make those decisions for my kids.

We DO NOT have a Draft in the country, and NO state can FORCE a person into military service!

The bill leads to forced military service for our young people. It needs to be well thought out. Why does New Mexico need a state draft or conscription.

This is complete governmental over reach and a means for government to further control the lives of the citizens. This bill should be stopped in it's tracks and never get through the legislative session.

This is an abuse of power and will do nothing to fix our myriad educational and employment issues. The state has no business telling adults what to do once they complete high school, and the vast majority of high school graduates are 18, and, therefore adults. Legislation should fix problems, not create more.

As a parent, I try to raise my child so that she can learn to make her own decisions for her life as an adult. This micromanaging of people's lives needs to stop.

Compulsory military service had never been something that this nations founders had ever intended. The senseless and endorses wars and conflicts need to end. If this is what the legislators of this state intend to do with their time of service, they should enlist in the military or naval services instead.
