If not, disregard the below.
Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes, service is mandatory for both males and females. But, Rhodeve service is broken up into two branches; Military and Diplomacy.

Can those conscripted become officers? As all people are conscripted, so are all the future officers. Officers require more schooling and thus must also stay in the service longer
Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience:
Name: John Jones (Name removed for safety reasons)
Year 1: The first year of the service, involved John attending the Quiniac City Military Academy. His goal was to become a military engineer. This would require two full years of schooling and add an additional two years to his actual service. First year will teach basics of engineering, gun control, unarmed combat, military history and strategy as well as a plethora of other courses important for any soldier, including a language course, if the person is not fluent in more than one language (most people are). John Jones is fluent in English and French, like most Rhodeve people, so instead he has taken tank-engineering.
Year 2: Due to his goal of becoming a military engineer, he continues on with another full year of schooling, with more advanced engineering training, continuing with unarmed and armed combat and his first tests on the military course. If he passes all hs exams, he will be allowed to work as a junior engineer on military bases in Rhodevus.
Year 3: John Jones spent his first year of actual service working on Rhodeve tanks in the Ile du Fleurs, getting them ready for potential conflict internationally. His duties entail everything from writing up basic schematics, to checking over the work of other junior engineers, to even some hands-on experience working with the tanks themselves. All his work will be looked over by higher ranked engineers.
Year 4: John was transferred to the military base in nearby Rezua, where he is working on the tanks to be sent to the front-lines of the Rezuan Civil War. Now able to do more advanced tasks, he will be brought to the reserve lines, to fix broken tanks along with other engineers and mechanics at his level.
Year 5: His final year of service, John Jones requests a job teaching junior engineers how to work with tanks. This request is granted and he is sent to the Port Joy Military Institute to teach a course.
Following his service, he chooses to attend university to become a truly licensed engineer. This will take another 2 years of schooling minimum.

What is the impact of National Service on society? National Service, having been around since 1944, the middle of WW2, has lead to a population of people who know what they want to do post-service. Everyone is trained in armed and unarmed combat, so even with very strict gun-laws, everyone is safe from robbery, terrorism and other issues. It is also a safety mechanism against police brutality or corruption in government, as seen in 2006-2007 during the Rhodeve Civil War; where the populace was able to band together and defeat the army, since everyone understands how to serve.

[Nordic Socialist Resistance]

Bjørk Lundkvist would never make military service compulsory. That is forced patriotism and involuntary servitude, both of which she is strongly against.

[Vallermoore]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN? Sort of.
If not, disregard the below.
Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes.
When are people daughter in for National Service? If the country is threatened with invasion and occupation, everyone does, but we stay out of wars and have had only one war in the last century that we won. If someone who is not disabled is unemployed for more then three years or if someone who is employed goes on strike, they are drafted. An employed person is normally just sent back to their job under military law and threatened with military prison if they go on strike. An unemployed person serves two years training to be a soldier. It's not as bad as it sounds-NCOs only scream at people if they mess up, quite a bit of it is interesting, and about a fifth of conscripts end up joining the professional army.
Do all people have to do National Service? If the country was truly in dire danger of being occupied or worse yes. Otherwise those who are mentally disabled or insane, those who are physically disabled, those who find a paid job within three years of leaving education, those who are in witness protection, and de facto, those who can pay a big enough bribe are not conscripted.
For how long must someone do National Service? Two years
Can those conscripted become officers? Yes but it is rare and for conscripts and professionals alike, since we are at peace promotions are slow. One conscript however started as a private and ended up as a lieutenant general.
Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience: Joe Bloggs was unable to find a job, any job, and so was conscripted for two years into the 1st Infantry Robertson Regiment, where he spent six months being trained, only really getting bawled at once for firing a rifle by mistake, and eighteen months variously on border guard duty, digging coal in a mine, guarding deserters, and once helping the police fight armed robbers before being released. Had he stayed on, he might soon have become a lance corporal.
What is the impact of National Service on society? It keeps the unemployed down, keeps the workers in their place, and means if we are ever invaded we can fight back well.
