Obama would have been 18 in 1989..
My son was 18 in 1992 and required to register..
Wouldnt there be a penalty if a young man didnt ???
Your math is slightly off. He would have been 18 in 1979, as he is one year younger than I am. All males born after December 31, 1959 are required by law to register with Selective Service. It is a felony, IIRC, to fail to do so.
Nana, he would have been 18 in ‘79 and would have been required to register in ‘80 if my understanding is correct.
