Slovenia used the old Yugoslav conscript system until 2003 when the final generation went into the reserves and an all profesional standing army was incorporated. A volunteer reserve force is maintained to augment the profesional troops.
The sentiment though is that it was a mistake. Conscripts went to basic training pol half a year when they reached 18. There was some deviation due to schools but by the time you were 20 you were in the reserves. It also means that by the time you were 20 the army made a man out of a spoiled brat. Schools and parents are appalling when it comes to teaching practical skills.
I know people that couldn't start a fire with matches, newspaper and a hatchet
