I wonder if that Apodaca kid in Colorado who was demanding a taxpayer provided college education had ever bothered to register for the draft? I bet he thinks being illegals exempted him from that even though he believed he was entitled to have the taxpayers provide him with college.
What happens if you do not register with the Selective Service? |
You will have committed a crime, and you could, upon conviction, be imprisoned, fined, or both. You will not be eligible for federal student aid, most federal jobs, and federal job training. Male non-U.S. citizens who are 18 through 25 will no longer be able to become U.S. citizens. |
Are there any exceptions? |
Very few. Generally, the only males who dont have to register are 1) the mentally or physically handicapped, who are confined to a residence, hospital, institution, or prison/jail, 2) certain agricultural workers, 3) those from other countries with lawful permission to be in the U.S., 4) those in active military duty or in military, U.S. Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine academies, and 5) those attending certain Officer Training schools. |
Do I need anything else after I receive my acknowledgment card? |
Yes. If any information on your registration changes--for example, if you move--you must, within ten (10) days inform the Selective Service System of the changes by: 1) going to a U.S. Post Office and filling out an SSS Form 2, 2) calling (847) 688-6888, or 3) visiting https://www4.sss.gov/regver/AddrChg.asp. After you reach age 26, you no longer need to do this. |
