Why? Unless we have a completely universal draft, the job of the board is to determine who the military wants. You make it sound like you would be willing to stick the military with a bunch of people they would have to weed out. I doubt they would view that as optimal.

Wow. To some degree you'd have the power of life and death over people. You've got a good screen name for the job.

I don't believe in the draft in its modern form.
In its original (Revolutionary War) form, the draft simply meant that citizens who were already active members in the State Militias could be drafted into the Continental Army.
Thus the draft applied only to citizens who were already trained (at least marginally) in the State Militias, and who were thereby already willing to fight; it did not apply simply to some layman off the street.
I think that the original (not modern) example should be followed, in general.
I also think that the draft is essentially moot. If large numbers of additional citizens were needed for any legitimate armed conflict (such as the War on Terror,) I believe that an ample volunteer force would be available.
All that would be needed is a national call to service, IMHO.

What might be your position if any new draft includes calling up our daughters, too?

As a joke you should post over at DU about your new responsibility and tell them you would not even give Dick Cheney a deferment.
They would probably pee in their panties thanking you and call you a hero.

Congratulations!
The losers on DU were recommending people apply to be on the board a few months ago. Of course we know they have no nefarious purpose in mind.

Can you positively influence the USAF to reconsider lifting certain age restrictions on non-Reserve USAF veterans seeking voluntary return to active duty status?
Reduction in rank accepted.
I am not yet 50, healthy, and capable of passing standard physical fitness requirements.
Plus I have acquired more cunning, and yet retained a realistic view of my place in the overall strategic planning phase of my position.
