The US Selective (Draft) Service: how many Floodians knew they still had to register after their 18th birthday?
My question has been asked in the title: for those who are male and in the United States, at what age did you know that you still had to submit your name to the Draft system? How did you feel about involuntarily signing up for conscription that had caused a serious problem back in the 1960's to 1975? Free discussion concerning the existence of the SSS, and its continued existence after the Vietnam War is encouraged.
(Author's notes: I am an aged 19 Canadian lad, and I only learned of the continued existence of the draft this night)

I'm fine with it, since I have a minuscule chance of being called upon between now and my 26th birthday.

We learned about it in Civics class in ninth grade. It really didn't bother me since it's so unlikely that they'd start drafting again. I didn't think anything of it.

It felt alright.

My high school made us do this senior year. Others didn't?

i've known for a few years now (i think since i learned about the selective service act around '09) didnt really concern me much since i plan on joining the military after college
