Its not your fault, you’re a victim......

Until you get rid of that, its going to be tough. You have to be ready to accept responsibility, regardless of whether you believe that “someone should have told you.”

Fill out your registration; they don’t want to draft you anyway.

" How can you not know about Selective Service?"

Because he was in jail when he was required to register, and the jailors knew that the military wouldn't want him, so they didn't bother to tell him to register. His probation officer should have told him.

So, basically, you’re saying you should get a pass because you “didn’t know”?

If that was allowed everyone would ignore the rules and just say, “I didn’t know.” Why, then, should we have rules at all?

To be fair, I wasn’t told by anyone at school or home to do so.

I recall thinking around the time I was turning 18, that there wasn't any official communication from the gov't telling me that I was required to register for the Selective Service. I only knew through word of mouth.

Now, Vietnam was still raging at that time, so "word of mouth" about this was very prevalent among guys my age.

Still, a guy could probably have just not signed up, then claimed ignorance if the authorities ever hassled him.

Thanks. It is strange. I was able to get on to it a few months ago. I am out of the country. I have tried to get onto it from three different computers and get the same result. They must be blocking access to it from outside the country. Guess I will have to try it through a proxy.

>>> “That makes me wonder — if a female has a sex change operation after her 18th birthday, would she/he have to register for selective service?”

Incredibly, one of the links posted upthread answered this. I even think it was the official sss.gov one.

In short: a male who was born a female is not required to register. Not specifically addressed is whether a female born a male is still required to register. Of course it’s a moot point in terms of actually serving, but you can count on it that some extremely disturbed individual with an axe to grind is working on it right now, LOL.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to hit on your platoon, and then “admit” that you were gay?
