They don't mail the registration cards out, you get them at the Post Office yourself.

Could be a leftist thing to get them in bulk and mail them out in specific states?

This post was not about someone getting a registration card, but a notice of the need to register.

These may be mailed erratically depending on the draft board, but I can assure you that notices DO go out.

I've seen them, and every time a young man tries to do anything that involves federal involvement, like to apply for a student loan, he is warned again. Register or lose benefits.

THIS IS NOT A CALL UP, alarmist mis-statements to the contrary.

From the selective service site:

A young man may also register by filling out a Reminder Mailback Card. Selective Service sends this card to many young men around the time they turn 18. Mailback cards are also available at some post offices. A man can fill out the card at home and mail it directly to Selective Service. Forms will be sent to: Selective Service System, Registration Information Office, P.O. Box 94638, Palatine, IL 60094-4638.

I assume they send these out to anyone they know about due to having paid taxes or other methods.
