It may be nothing more than BS, but no need to be uncivil about it. It may be real, and if it is real, the guy needs encouragement and pointed in the right way, not attacked. If its fake, they aren’t going to care about the attacks anyway...

I am twice your age female and knew about the Selective Service. There were adds on the TV all the time telling you to go to the Post Office and sign up for the Selective Service.
Also it would seem to me if you went to the recruiter's office to sign up even if your mother wouldn't sign they would have automatically signed you up for the Selective Service at that time. I know this because my grandson signed up for Job Corp and they asked him if he had signed up for the Selective Service and he told them "no." The Job Corp recruiter said I have to automatically sign you up then before you can go into the Job Corp.

Oh come on!! My sons all got notices in the mail to sign up and they had all already joined the service in delayed entry programs by then. Did your family never check the mail?

Welcome, I think, n00b...
Selective Service has been a way of life here in the United States on this planet called Earth for decades...
Where have you been ???

Well, actually I think it is not possible to submit it after that.
If you become a citizen after 25, you are not required to have signed up.

Guess you don’t drive either. Every DMV I’ve been in has signs up with all the information you need about signing up for Selective Service.
In fact, I’m having a hard time believing you got those two degrees without having to answer a question about registering for SS. All the college paperwork I’ve filled out had that question on it.

I never sign up with Selective Service either. Hopefully 15 good years in the U.S. Navy is recompense.
To: Jeremiah1
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Selective Service registrations requirements have been posted at every post office in the nation since it’s inception.

My grandfather, who is a WWII Veteran said with tears, "Jer, this isn't the same country I fought for and watched so much sacrificed for."
I'm sure your WWII Vet Grandfather can see the issue with you neglecting your Selective Service obligation some 14 years ago.
I hope you get this straightened out soon. I will keep you and all laid-off families in my prayers.

You can't download a paper copy of the FAFSA and entering the electronic one requires a SS number, birthdate, etc. The government publication "Completing the FAFSA" also says that selective service registration is only required for men between 18 and 25. There is no reference to being above 25 but never having filled one out.
I say zot him because he's just making this up if he really is 32.

Strange thing. I have been trying to get on the selective service website ( www.sss.gov ) for the past 2 weeks. All I get when it connects is a blank screen. Anyone else have this problem ? Seems strange for a gov website to be down that long.

I think this guy has ‘trolled’ FR on a number of occasions, before... (under different ‘nicks’..)
The ‘long-sad-story’ sans paragraphs writing style seems familiar....

"Selective Service requirement is only for men between 18 and 25. Once you get past 25 I don't think it matters anymore."What matters is that since he didn't sign up, the penalty is he cannot get any government loans etc;.

- What happens if an 18-year-old does not register? It's a felony to not register. The punishment includes fines of up to $250,000 or five years in prison.
- Are there other ramifications for failing to register? In some states, the Selective Service and drivers license application systems are linked. In Delaware, for example, young men over 18 cannot get a driver's license if they have not registered with the Selective Service. In all 50 states, students who fail to register are not eligible for student loans or college grants, government jobs or federally funded job training. And immigrants who do not register may be denied citizenship.
- Is anyone exempt? All men, ages 18-25, must register, including conscientious objectors and the disabled - in the event of a draft, they can register their objections or handicaps then. Immigrants, including illegal aliens, refugees and men in this country on green cards, are required to register as well. There are a very few exceptions, including young men already on full-time, active military duty, and men in hospitals, mental institutions or in jail, but they must register within 30 days of release. Also exempt: immigrants who are here on student or tourist visas, or because they or their families are part of a diplomatic mission.
