This has not happened in my family. Never knew a thing about it. None of my male relatives have done this. Hopefully, the draft will STAY a thing of the past.

You are mistaken. All 18 year old males must register with the Selective Service. Usually a young man will register during his senior year at school, through the Post Office, or online. If not he is breaking the law, but is usually not hunted down. He would not be eligible for any school grants, government jobs, or even unemployment pay. Nor would he be a lawyer, fireman, police officer, physician, or any other profession where there would be any reasonable kind of back ground check.

I am sure that all males in your family have registered … and it doesn't mean that they will be drafted, but the possibility is there if a draft were reinstated.
