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.

• 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.

Karl, as usual, I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, by your cynicism.

BTW, at 32, he can still join up, if he can straight for a month.
