The draft (or US Military Conscription) ended in 1973 at the closing of the Vietnam War. The US still institutes is 'Selective Service' initiative as a contingency plan...for when all goes wrong. To be honest only a fool would say that conscription in the United States would never happen again.

You're never too old to do an apprenticeship There is no upper age limit for becoming an apprentice, although arrangements for funding do differ if you are over 24 years of age. There is fair access to apprenticeships and so your age shouldn't affect whether you'll get onto an apprenticeship.
