Do you also think that 18 is to young to vote, get married and buy ALCHOCOL in some states?  I see your point about the women, even though I'm female, I agree that woman should have to register just like you,  In fact I am not entirely opposed to all US citizens serving their country. I think the government probably does not consider your personal information to be personal because after all they did give you the SS # in the first place.  But I agree with you, the least they could do is enclose it in a envelope.  Even if you have been out of this country as long as you are a citizen you should have to register.  Also the US Postal Service is a branch of the government so they probably consider that your information is safe in government employee hands.  But if you feel this strongly about it, I suggest that you go to the post office and ask them how to file a complaint or bring this issue to the proper party.

YES!!! In fact I served in the army (but I know this applies to ALL US military branches) with many people who did not have a US citizenship (and were not looking to GET one) who were in the military. Talk to your local recruiter they will help you go through the proper paperwork, IF you ARE looking to get US Citizenship joining the military can help actually speed up the process, and they encourage it!

Everything the application asks for is important. They all usually have equal weighting, because they are looking for well-rounded individuals. For example, if they have only 1 spot left and must choose between someone with a 4.0 GPA and no extracurriculars, or someone with a 3.5 GPA but is a club officer and does volunteer work, they will probably go with the latter.

You can speak with your guidance counselor at school. Also, you can look up your local Army Recruiting Station in the Yellow Pages. If you are talking about the mandatory draft register that everyone does, you can go to the post office.

The causes for rejection for enlistment under the current instruction simply states:  Chronic history of academic skills or perceptual defects, secondary to organic or functional mental disorders that interfere with work or school after the age of 12.  Current use of medication to improve or maintain academic skills are disqualify factors with out a medical waiver from the branch of service for which you are applying.  \n\nIn other words, you have to build a case based on the “whole person” concept.  Did you graduate? What was your school attendance like?  What were your grades like?  Where you on MEDs?  If so, when? You’ll need all the med docs, academic and attendance records. Are you currently employed… \n\nNow, based on everything you said, recruiters don’t want to work somebody that is questionable qualified.  If its just ADD, and you are off MEDS, this really shouldn’t be a problem.  How did you do on the ASVAB or practice test?  Do you have a police record?  Can you pass the drug test?  Are you going to go to MEPS and talking about “I have nothing to lose and nothing to come back for. It is my sole purpose in life to fight and die for the perfect bitches.”?  This will disqualify for a psych eval all in it’s self?\n\nI hope this helps explain.  Now that that information and go find a recruiter.  Sell yourself.  Your worth it!

Charlie really thinks re-instituting the draft will deter our decisions to go to war, in that children of the senate and house could be drafted.\n\nThat's somewhat of a reach.\n\nI don't want to chance filling our army with people who don't want to join.  Not a good idea right now.  Campus riots would be everywhere.\n\nCan't answer your other questions right now, you did your research and are way ahead of me.

My doubts.  The congress and senate will not bring this up in an election year.  The left (Democrats) will to try and scare people into voting for them.  They will say the Republican government can't recruit enough soldiers for Iraq and other needs to get the job done and force a draft.  They won't use the word selective service or universal conscription -they will use the buzz word draft.

You can always call a recruiter and ask. Sometimes they will grant you a special waiver!

You've got to be kidding.  However, given the difficulty they're having getting people to enlist, they might work with you on it.  I would suggest you contact a recruiter rather than asking here on Yahoo Answers.

There is no official way to tell how a future draft would be instated because every draft has been different and the laws have changed since the last draft. Congress even has the right to draft women, if it sees fit to do so. For more information, visit the selective service website

No one will be drafted. And the war will end soon enough. At the rate of enlistment and VOLUNTEERING...there will never be a need for a draft.

Federal law still requires all males reaching the age of 18 to register with the Selective Service System.  Go to: http://www.sss.gov/FSwho.htm

Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.)States that all men in the U.S. are required to register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Men must be registered to be in compliance with federal law and stay eligible for student loans and grants, government jobs, job training, all security background clearances, and U.S. citizenship. In an effort to ensure compliance among young men, many states have enacted legislation which links SSS registration with the process of applying for a driver's license or state identification card. As a result of such legislation, in May 2002, the state of Delaware, which enacted driver's license legislation in 2000, became the first state to reach nearly 100 percent registration compliance since the Agency began compiling this data. In that same year, several other states followed suit. They are: Enacted and Implemented - Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia.

I don't keep numbers of this sort, but I do read the newspaper, daily.  Two days ago, the army indicated that it had surpassed it's last recruiting quota.  All of the other services have had no trouble meeting quota.  The army has always had the biggest challenge because of it's size,  I believe the army may have relaxed some of its criteria for recruitment.  This certainly would have helped it to achieve its numbers.  No, this isn't a guess, unless the newspapers are getting bad info.

You are required to be registered with the selective service between the age of 18 and 25. However if a draft were to be constituted in the US, current selective service reforms suggest that a lottery would be held with young men turning 20 up first. \n\nThe likelihood of being drafted in the US depends on many factors. First and foremost is the need for more soldiers. With the current situation the US is in, it remains unlikely that a draft would be issued. However world events could quickly change that. \n\nAll in all, you can never fully "stop worrying" about being drafted. If a crisis were to warrant it, anyone (traditionally only males) could be drafted. It would start with those turning 20 within that year, and spread out to affect those young down to 18 years old and upwards toward 25. Local draft boards would be the deciding body as to whether you were to be drafted or not if you fell within the age specifications. If the need were there, those older than 25 could also be drafted.

ive heard that if you are an officer you had to request discharge in writing. in your case go down with a bunch of friends say ,"give me the papers" and dont say anything else. call ahead make sure they have the papers and have them identify the papers while your on the phone [ dd214, whatever,etc] if you didnt sign anything to reserve a job i think its bs... anyway i enlisted way back in '66 and ever since i've thought recruiters are a bunch of low life blood sucking cowards... especially the young ones who should be out there doing the fighting if thats what they believe in ... and i dont care if they already did 2-3 toures ..instead of "hustelling" young impressionable children into  a possition where they may have to kill for a living.. and live [ if they're luck] with it for the rest of their lives... hey if you want i'll go with you to sign the papers! they piss me off lieing punk cowards that they are .they used to get paid commision .. i dont know about now.. if you think about it they are the worst kind of child molesters!
