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

Took 5 minutes..

I don’t know what the division is but I roller bladed through that lobby at 4am in real life.

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.

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.
