Selective service

[Ishi&Elvis]

I was one of the group that was exempt. Gerald Ford signed a decree doing away with the draft. Jimmy Carter reactivated it retroactive back to a certain date, seems like all men born from 1957-59 were exempt. That was my group. So no, I'm not registered. But I tell all my male students they will have to do that upon their 18th birthday.

Yep, I was in that group also.

So, what if you’re gender fluid and on that day you feel like a female? They have to recognize this as a legitimate gender now right?

Nope. You are treated as your birth gender up until you are post surgery to change it.

I registered in ‘91.

On my 18th birthday I went to the post office and registered. At 21 left for MCRD San Diego and at 25 had my honorable discharge (force reduction didn't allow re-enlistment). About a month after discharge from active duty, but still in inactive reserves, I received a notice that I needed to register for selective service. I called the reserve center and told them to come get me. The gunny had a good laugh.
