Military service Hi everyone,
Is it correct to say "go to military service" as in "My brother went to military service last month?"
Or do we have to say "start (doing) military service" as in "My brother started (doing) military service last month?"

Teacher Re: Military service We'd probably say:
My brother started his military service last month.
My brother was called up last month. (BrE)Last edited by 5jj; 30-Nov-2011 at 12:33. Reason: tidying up
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
