Yes but i decided it wasn't worth it at the time.

You also won't be able to receive any government benefits later on in life should you need them.

Fucking idiot does not deserve goverment benefits. Move to Canada

Now you see the price you pay for 10 minutes of your time at the local Post Office or whereever.

Like some cheese to go with that whine?

boooooooooooooooo!!!!!

eh... maybe we need to start pumping people into Canada. Higher population might plug all the holes in that drafty hat that is our neighbor. It's been a cold winter here in Ohio.
Leaky too... got a lot of ice! Fix yourself Canada!

Hear hear! If the US Gubmit ever wants my lazy fat ass to shoot a rifle poorly, sign me up. I may not be able to hit the broad side of a barn, but I'm willing to pump a full magazine into it! Seriously though, after 9/11 my brother and I just about quit our jobs to go enlist. Sometimes I feel I need to give back in thanks to this awesome place we live in. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!!

Just move to Canada or Mexico (preferably the latter, I have Canadian relatives) and get it over with. From the sound of it you're not the kind of person we want here anyway. I don't care about what you want. You want to enjoy the benefits of living here, you should be willing to, in the worst case scenario (at least), defend your country. Otherwise you're nothing but a leech; and judging by this thread, a pretty dumb one. Kinda like most of the rest of the people who didn't register. Apparently the government and some employers feel the same way, so you fucked yourself up and are now reaping what you sowed.

I have zero sympathy.

I've got an SSS question. I got a card in the mail about it, but then I went online and clicked Check Registration Status, I already have an SSS number, and it says I registered a month before I turned 18. :confused:

Talked at length to pops about it, he said no. My mom doesn't know how to use the computer, and would've told me if something came in my name from the gubment. I only turned 18 a few months ago, it's weird that I was registered BEFORE I turned 18, and that I was registered without registering.

I only got other 1 million place to work. I have finance degree.
So why are you whining about it here then?

The fact that i can't work for fedral government because i didn't register for selective service. It should not matter if i registered or not, only if i am qualified to work

Ask not what you can do for your country but what your country can do for you.

IMO, any immigrant (legal or otherwise) who doesn't register should be immediately deported...

don't encourage that line of thinking. We already gotta all the Commiefornians begging for more social programs. And they're seeding their way of thinking everywhere!

I'm Canadian, so maybe my opinion is skewed a little from the fact that we try to stay outta shit (the swiss are our idols), but were the last two drafts (Korea, Nam) really about defending your country?

I'd be the first to sign up for our military if another country started a war with us, on our soil, but there's no way in hell I'd sign up to allow my government to send me off to any war they chose.

I wonder how many people would support the draft if they enacted it during Iraq. Would that have been defending the country? What about Afganistan? Sure there's the assumption that it will only be used in the most dire of circumstances, but it seems contrary to me in a land touted as the standard of freedom that people would consent to being sent off to war whenever their government sees fit (especially considering the track record).

I was under the impression that registration for the SS was for "natural-born" US citizens only BoomerD? :confused:

Lets see, your an admitted criminal and un-American. Now you want a job with the federal govt of a country you deem not worthy of protecting nor able to follow the laws of? Good luck with that. You should be deported.

I'm not going to volunteer for the military either, but if it gets to the point where they re-institute the draft, lock'n load.

More and more I am hearing about kids that forgot in one breath and didn't think they should have to serve in the other.

Sad to say if you didn't register enjoy the exclusions offered by that. It'd be impossible to miss the billion times you are told about it in high school, seeing the recruiters there, the asvabs, etc.

The best excuse I heard was 'I was sick that day' :confused:

I had heard about needing to register after turning 18, but I had no idea where I need to go to do it. So I went to the Army recruiters office and asked about it, but the jackass there kept trying to recruit me even though I told him I just wanted to register for selective service. :p

Then I forgot about it and looks like I wasn't registered until 2006 (must have been when I renewed my drivers license or something, maybe they automatically do it). mrSHEiK124, maybe that's how you were registered? Also would be funny if OP was registered and he didn't even realize it. :D

Got my driver's license in FL when I was 16. Says I was registered in November 08, a month before I turned 18. Weird. I am currently receiving state financial aid (no strings attached free ride to any FL university, FL fuck yeah :p!) maybe that's it?
