I didn't register for selective service, anyone else?

[looker001]

I was looking for job and checked federal jobs and i am not elegible because i didn't register for selective service. Anyone else didn't register for selective service?

Why wouldn't you? Isn't it the law?

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

Is our country not worth it? Many countries have mandatory service. Our country only says, hey, register for this, if we REALLY need you, you MAY OR MAY NOT be drafted. But that's all we're expecting from you.

Seems like a kick in the pants to America, if I must say.

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

[Fayd]

And you probably are not going to be.

And I am not positive about this but, I do not think you will be able to get a security clearance either. So no working for a subcontractor on a job requiring one.

 

[Fenixgoon]

no sympathy from me. you might not be jailed, despite the fact that not registering is punishable by imprisonment, but you certainly shot yourself in the foot nonetheless. karma's a bitch.

I was to lazy to fill out the form so I just joined the military.

That's a drag. Have you tried contacting the office of Selective Service and attempted to correct the issue? Surely there must be some recourse.

Coming from the OP, not surprised as lazy is his middle name.
