I got this off of the honda tech forums:
Greetings, Generation X! Millions of you, men and women, will be forced to register for the SPECIAL SKILLS DRAFT by May 1, 2005--if George W. Bush wants your body and soul. Brodsky, the head of SSS, says a priority will be drafting Special Skills Personnel: 20 to 45 year-old computer experts, linguists (especially Islamic languages), and engineers. All 3.4 million doctors and nurses under 45 will have to register at their local Post Office in 2005 if Bush gets Congress's permission.
All signs are they will ask for the draft at that earliest possible moment and will probably establish the Special Skills Personnel Delivery System (like the HCPDS) even sooner, as soon as the election is over in November, 2004, although these computer programmers and engineers would not have to register until the draft was activated. (they will check your IRS form to see your occupation and throw you in the Lottery Bowl.) Here is the Special Skills Draft info just put up on the official SSS.gov site:

They are gearing up the Special Skills DRAFT for 2005! No deferments allowed, men and women ages 20-44, Computer experts and LINGUISTS and engineers first.
The official Selective Service site clearly says that $28 million is being spent next year to have the draft ready for activation within 75 days by March 31, 2005, conveniently AFTER the 2004 election. All Bush has to do is say "We are not going to Cut and Run from Iraq, but we have no more men. THe Pentagon has told me we need to activate the Selective Service System". The scrubbed Draft Board recruitment ad (the first in decades), was just the tip of the following $28 million iceberg headed for a home near you:
http://tinyurl.com/2rvpb
Strategic Goal 1: Increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the Manpower Delivery Systems (Projected allocation for FY 2004 ? $7,942,000)...
Strategic Goal 2: Improve overall Registration Compliance and Service to the Public (Projected allocation FY 2004 ? $8,769,000)...
Strategic Goal 3: Enhance external and internal customer service
(Projected allocation for FY 2004 ? $10,624,000)...
Strategic Goal 4: Enhance the system which guarantees that each conscientious objector is properly classified, placed, and monitored.(Projected allocation for FY 2004 ? $955,000)...
Total=$28,290,000
An annual report providing the results of the implementation of these performance measures will be submitted by March 31, 2005. This report will address attained versus planned levels of performance, explain unattained target levels, and identify where and how strategies, performance goals, and performance indicators should be changed to ensure that the SSS reaches its strategic and annual goals and objectives...
tie that paragraph to this one:
Strategic Objective 1.2: Ensure a mobilization infrastructure of 56 State Headquarters, 442 Area Offices and 1,980 Local Boards are operational within 75 days of an authorized
return to conscription...
They are reducing draft activation time to 75 days from the current 7-8 months. The first draft lottery according to this official document could be June 15, 2005.
Congress would of course have to approve, supposedly after a Joint Session by the President where he could easily say "we are not going to cut and run" (same was said in Vietnam). By March 31, 2005, the draft may only be 75 days away.
This change the dynamics of this issue, because people will say OK, Bush is getting the first draft lottery ready by June 15, 2005 if we need it. Now do I trust him or the Democrat more to not reinstate, given Iraq and PNAC?
ALSO: That pesky Draft Board Recruitment Ad Back Up--With 2 New Sentences added by Jon Lovitz (The Liar on Saturday Night Live) saying there is NO Connection to Iraq.
And this time It's on the SSS.gov Home Page!

Selective Service continues to invite interested citizens to volunteer for service on its local boards that would decide claims from men if a draft were reestablished. This invitation for board members has been ongoing over the past 23 years, although there has not been a military draft in over 30 years. There is NO connection between this ongoing, routine public outreach to compensate for natural board attrition and current international events. Both the President and the Secretary of Defense have stated on several occasions that a draft is not needed for the war on terrorism, including Iraq. People seeking further information about Selective Service's standby boards or application should consult "Fast Facts" on this site.
Also draft boards reported being "unexpectedly" asked during summer training sessions to fill the Board vacancies (salon.com from a Philly draft Board member)
Also Rumsfeld's leaked memo said "long hard slog" and "we have not made any truly bold moves yet"--and that was after Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are even making sure the Alternative Service is all exercised and ready to go within 75 days of March 31, 2005.
This is called Performance improvement but it looks exactly like a readiness action. They are bringing the whole system up to 90% + operational capability after 30 years of dormancy. Obviously, with a war on terror this could be considered prudent (although you don't need a draft to catch Osama Bin Laden and several thousand al-Queadas).
Anyone out there a computer specialist, linguist, engineer, doctor, nurse and especially medical specialist, aged 20 - 44? You could be first to be DRAFTED if BUSH is re-elected. Because
Bush '04 = DRAFT '05
