How many of you ACTUALLY signed up at 18 for Selective Service?

I was in the post office the other day and forgot all about it. While I entered the Army at 17 and assumed I didn't need to fill it out, I'm not sure anyone has been prosecuted for NOT signing up for Selective Service.

According to the brochure, if you do not, you can be fined $250K and sentenced to 5 years in prison.

The draft ended in like 1973 and I turned 18 in 1975. I still have my draft card around here somewhere.....
I'm too old to be drafted now but that doesn't stop me from practicing my shooting skills :wink05:

Did it when I registered to vote. I assumed the two processes always went together. Don't they?

Same here. I was cleaning out an old file the other day and found my draft card. When I was 17 my birthday came up number 3 (IIRC) in the birthday lottery. In my 18th year, no more draft.

Same. I was happy as hell to sign it because I had just been turned down by a recruiter for being 4 lbs over the weight limit. I knew I wouldn't get drafted but one could dream.

Wasn't it 16 back in the seventies and eighties? I registered on the day of my birthday, 16 or 18. Grew up with all my family in military, it was my duty to do so promptly.

I was happy to in '89. Told my kids a few years ago to do it, as it makes them part of ".... a well regulated militia" lol!

Yes, I did. Never thought much about it, it was just the thing to do. In fact, it was almost a right of passage to adulthood. The draft had been gone for just a few years when I came of age, and I knew there was little likelihood that it would be resurrected. Those were difficult times for the military, poor pay, reduced budgets, personnel cuts, outright disrespect from the media, widespread use of drugs (reported, not verified by me).

I don't think a single man (remember, women are still not required to register) prosecuted for failure to report.

I did it, but I had either already signed on the dotted line for Uncle Sam anyway, or was about to, so it didn't matter.
