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 I have a Selective Service Number, but it has never been a bad thing. I was worried about the wars in the Middle East, but I didn’t even get stationed there when I enlisted. I 100% advise against enlisting at all. Merely due to the abusive, toxic culture that most members partake in (most people proud of their service these days are some garden variety of christo-fascist). Not a healthy place for any human mind.
It was important for me to have during my university years, obviously.
Anyway, I’m still kind of worried about being drafted because I can serve them in some way. They have my intelligence scores, and I am able-bodied due to my service records.

@robbienorlyn Doesn't enlistment satisfy draft obligations?

@Yehuda It’s entirely possible for me to be called back into service. I don’t think it probable unless things go really sideways.
