I think that you should either have to serve in the military or get some type of college education
Some school systems throughout the country have instituted that requirement for high school students to graduate. This can be fulfilled either by tutoring younger students, for example.

As for universal military service, unless we get in a situation where the safety and stability of our nation is directly threatened (i.e. outright invasion or a nuke attack), it's just not going to fly. I can see it being done in Israel, where they're almost completely surrounded by their enemies.
