When you turned 18, did you register for the draft?

I'm a chic, so i never had to, but are you still required to do that?

[Ganondorf]

yeah, it's a felony if you don't in Ohio. I don't know what the law is in other states.

required in that you can't get certain benefits or jobs if you don't.

I didn't till I was 21. I tried to register to go to college and they busted me. I still didn't do it though, I kept putting it off until they sent me a letter that said I had 10 days to do it or they would throw me in jail. So I finally did it.

Its not that I'm not patriotic and all that stuff, I just had better things to do.
I dont respond well when people "expect" things of me. I like doing things because I want to, not because someone is trying to force me to.

[SuperMan]

i think its required?

sort of an oxymoron

[kw79]

Yeah I registered. As Josh said, not registering can cause problems with getting scholarships and loans for college.

You actually have to enroll for selective service, not the draft necessarily.

you know what i was asking. that's what matters.

[manbearpig]

I singed my name and sent it back the next day, no problem.

[scrawnybrawny]

if they invade iran or some other sandbox i bet they;ll have a draft. i'd be screwed.

[Wild Bill]

My local air force recruiter solved the dilemma of selective service. At that time you had to be registered with selective service in order to enlist...kinda a Federale oxymoron....

Same here. I wish I had of joined the Airforce or Navy when I was 18. Looking back on it now I'm positive my life would of been better had I joined. More experience and oportunities than just working at the local cracker factory.
