Thinking about my 18 yo grandson. Has anyone out there registered for the #Draft yet? Care to share your experiences and knowledge?

Almost all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants living in the U.S. (documented or undocumented) are required by law to register with the Selective Service if they are aged 18 through 25. Registration is mandatory, but there is currently no active draft. Failure to register can lead to fines, prison, and loss of federal benefits.

@Yehuda both my sons were born in the US. I'm Canadian, their dad is from NZ.
We left the USA long before either of them turned 18. However, turns out that male citizens living anywhere in the world must register. Oooops, we broke the law. 🫣
They both renounced their US citizenship after they turned 18, when the fee was $2350. Ouch! But worth it for them.

@Stevie63 Yeah, I haven't seen a US war in my lifetime yet that was worth dying for...
