correct me if i am wrong but in 1979 even though there was no draft didn’t you still have to sign up with the selective service? that way if the draft started again they had a pool to fall back on. i signed up in 1974 at 18 and enlisted myself in 1975. if he did sign up as he says then shouldn’t there be a record someone can find?

That’s right... Carter did away with the registration requirement but Reagan reversed that when he got in there. It wasn’t based on your graduation year, it was based on your age.
