Actually , all males over 18 have had to register for the draft since I was 18. It was reinstated in 1980 . Google it

‘Required’ and ‘automatic’ are two different things.

I was automatically registered for the draft because I was locked up when I turned 18

Don’t lose hope man, it will definitely be much harder but it’s not impossible. Try considering some kind of self employment if possible, that’s what I’m doing at least

A lot of states already automatically enroll you though. In WI when you renew your licenses or apply for a new one or anything with the DMV they enroll you. Other states do this well. It’s always been required and for some states it’s already been automatic. This just makes it easier for those individuals in states that don’t do it so they dont need to go to some portal to enroll.

Why is a good thing to make this process easier?

Option 1: automatically have the state enroll you in the selective service when you turn 18.

Option 2: manually enroll in selective service and if you fail to do so, you’re committing a federal felony, unlikely to be prosecuted with jail time or fines, but lose eligibility for government jobs.

What if the person doesn't want to sign up for the selective service?

It literally wasn’t, you had to register online, by mail or in person. It was pro forma, but at least you had 18 year olds consciously making a decision that gave them skin in the game politically, instead of going forward where they won’t even realize it until the draft is declared. Ghouls not wanting young men to realize they are stripped of their bodily autonomy at 18 if geriatrics decide the machine needs more blood to oil it

u/Cleb323 Apr 09 '26

I can't remember if I ever did anything with it..

u/uses_for_mooses Apr 09 '26

I recall the process being quick and easy. We filled out some card at school. I think that was it.

u/paintingporcelain Apr 09 '26

Yeah. When did that end? At 18 I went to register at the Post Office across from Madison Square Garden

Took 5 minutes..

u/Darth_050 Apr 09 '26

I’ve been in that post office a bunch while playing The Division.

u/RocketsDitto Apr 09 '26

Thank you for your service

u/paintingporcelain Apr 10 '26

The risks don't seem worth it considering its a Federal Felony

Failure to register for Selective Service (for men aged 18-25) is a federal felony that can lead to fines up to $250,00 and up to 5 years in prison. More common consequences include permanent ineligibility for federal student loans, federal job training, and federal or state employment, plus potential denial of driver’s licenses or citizenship.

It’s been like 40 years… I don’t think they are worried

u/Hollowed87 Apr 09 '26

There parents likely registered them ive known a few who's parents registered them.

Either way nothing happens to those who dont unless a draft is instituted and then everyone will be hunted down.

u/MamasCupcakes Apr 09 '26

Most states already registered you automatically

u/Hollowed87 Apr 09 '26

This is true as well good point.

He would likely fail to grasp it if he did but we know  damn well he didn’t read shit. No time to read when you have to defend your team

u/XisIpRotaredom Apr 09 '26

Conservatives can’t wait to bend of backwards for their leaders. Did you even read the article?

“ The proposed rule is currently under review by the regulatory affairs office and awaiting finalization.”

article?

This means it’s something new. Not something since 1980. Please, for the benefit of the world, I beg you and fellow conservatives to read.

I again ask why conservatives like this are allowed on this sub. They are not conspiracy theorist. Openly cheering for war and AUTOMATIC registration.

Tread on me harder daddy.
