Military recruitment will be selective, involving tests to determine eligibility, and may include service in the armed forces or cyber defense.

Or social service one week in a month
If those who do not have full-time time, they can spend one week every month volunteering in various roles within the society. Like distributing food etc. to disabled people or serving in search and rescue. This will help young people gain valuable skills make Britain safer and build a stronger national culture.
