Did you register with the Selective Service?

[KokomoDave]

I registered after OSVET school on-base. That freaked them out as I was calling from JAG office (I had duty).

 

[Jump62]

Yep, 1971, had to go and do the paperwork at the SSS office in Upper Marlboro, MD.

[thompal]

The SSS sent me a letter, at my NEW address, telling me that I was required to submit my change of address. The letter told me where to get the form I was supposed to fill out, but they didn't include it with the letter.

This is the most government way of doing things that I can think of.

 

[Phil502]

1981. Still have the paperwork they sent back. Mine has dog tooth marks from a German Shepard we had that hated the mail coming into the mail chute on the wall.

Fenwick... Nights at Harpoons, Hurricane, Subs at Tubbys and Breakfast at Generals.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I did, but I enlisted a week later, so kind of a wasted few minutes.

 

[radar8756]

I did the Delayed Entry in 1974 - while a Senior in High School - at 17
I turned 18 in Boot Camp

 

[Brad69]

Got called into the 1SG office because I had not registered.

I was 19 and had two years in the Army ?

yup, government efficiency.

 

[Expat]

Yep, at the post office. Part of that group that had to do it at the resumption.

 

[Davis0023]

Yes, I remember it seeming cool to do so.

 

[rob63]

I did it the first day I was eligible.

I have no idea if my son did so, I hope not.

 

[04FXSTS]

Don't remember doing that but I must have, got drafted in 1969. Jim.

 

[88E30M50]

Did in 1980.

Same year for me. Then I enlisted in 1982

 

[Ziggidy]

My draft lottery number was 248, way back when. Can I still declare that today?

 

[Hardscrable]

Yep, in 1969.

 

[STEEL CORE]

My draft # was 184
I volunteered anyway.

 

[BE Mike]

I graduated from high school, went to the Army recruiter, took all the tests, turned 18, recruiter took me to register for Selective Service and I got sworn in, all in a few days. My recruiter gave me valuable advice. Joining the Army turned out to be one of the best things to happen to me (since I survived combat in Viet Nam).

 

[Leadeye]

Was in one of the last draft lotteries.

 

[2A_Tom]

I enlisted in the army when I was 17.

After I got out someone told me that I was in trouble for not having registered with selective service.
