It's a referrence to Heinlein's book Starship Troopers.

Ignore the movie, it's just another Voerhoven (sp) bomb.

In ST you had to sign up for civil service to be considered a full citizen and be able to vote and such. It was a short book and didn't go into too much detail. Civil service included police, military, gov't service and so on.

If I can find it, there is a website for a group who would like to see similar standards in place. I'll get back with it if I can find it.
