Has he registered for selective service, or does he have those pesky genetic bone spurs that allow you to play football, baseball, soccer, and wrestling while attending military school, but prevent you from actual military service?
What's the story here please? I'm out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don't, right?
Every male in the US under a certain age (I think it's close to 30? I'm not American) has to register under penalty of law.
This also applies to immigrant boys/men who become citizens and transgender men (people born female who gain legal recognition as a male).
I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!
Most people in the US get automatically registered by their state DMV to the feds, but you’re technically responsible for doing it even if you don’t get a driver’s license
It's a "draft" sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there's no longer a draft it's basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.
If world war 3 breaks out though ya might end up drafted still
I won't say that won't happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it's 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.
They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It's easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.
Voter registrations are what jury duty pulls from, not draft registration. There would be no women on juries otherwise
You think there's no women in the military?
Women may join the military. They do not register for the draft.
