Selective Service was unknown to me

[Yo-Yo]

As soon as I got out of jail I went to my local recruiters office to enlist only to find that I must first complete my 5 yrs of probation.

And the recruiter didn't look up your SSS status? Riiight.

[dfwgator]

As a matter of fact, I just looked up my status on the SSS site.

I’m still there.

If you become a citizen after 25, you are not required to have signed up.

**************

Not true. Non-citizen residents have to register if they’re the right age. My husband got citizenship last year. He’d lived in the US when he was of registration age and he had to explain, in detail, on the form why he had not registered. In his case, men born when he was were never required to register, whether citizens or not.

I must commend your true and effective charity, Parsy, in oh-so-gracefully (a) salvaging our young friend's self-esteem, and (b)marking a clear path out of the dilemma for him.

I have forwarded his case to Mr. Morris Dees. He will sue the government and jeremiah 1 will receive an all-expense paid education as an electrical engineer, (no matter what his intellectual capacity) a low-interest, no-down mortgage loan with paperwork by ACORN, and a commission as a major-general.

I became somewhat peeved in reading his screed. Do you think I might also qualify as bi-polar?

[ArrogantBustard]

Dude ... I have two words for you.

The first word is "Bull".

You get three guesses as to the second word ...

“Well, you see your honor, I was unsure of my gender when I turned 18 so I felt that I didn’t have to register.” Who knows, it might fly! If it works for the locker room and the bathroom, why not the war room?

Could have been former and now ZOTTED freeper Jeremiah

I don't think so. These passages were more like "Dreams of My Father," the Ayers classic not-so-auto-biography.

[Arrowhead1952]

Could have been. Especially talking about all the crimes committed.

if a female has a sex change operation after her 18th birthday, would she/he have to register for selective service?

Only if she/he is bi-polar.

My best friend entered the delayed entry program for the Marine Corps, I wanted to go Navy. All my mother had to do was sign the paperwork but she wouldn't , she said No. There was nothing the recruiter could do. I had just turned 16 yrs. old at that time.

Sounds like BS to me. With or without a parent's signature, the military will not take a 16 year old.

Life is a series of choices. It’s hard to do the right thing, follow the rules, and work hard. It’s easy to live a life of crime, not follow the rules, then run to those who live by the rules and complain when you discover there’s a penalty for your behavior.

You chose the easy path. Now be a man, grow a pair, live with the consequences of your actions, and quit your whining.

If I am adding correctly there is no way you can be 32, sorry.

“From age 17 to 26 was spent either in jail or on the street waiting for jail.”
&
“I commited my last crime over 12 years ago.”

26+12=38
unless your last crime was at 20 and you waited for a jail term for 6 years???

[envisio]

Check it out FReepers.

This is our next generation.

God have mercy.

[Eagle Eye]

Go enlist.

Then you can EARN a salary and GI Bill benefits.

[dalereed]

You must have lived your life in a padded cell!

I think it does from federal grant money for school? I know it was passed in 1982 registering for selective service my question is in 1982 how old was cut off for registration?

[Slings and Arrows]

[ArrogantBustard]

He claims to have spent a significant fraction of his life behind bars.

I'm not so sure ...

I think he spent it DeepInTheHurtgenForest, with a ClassyGreenEyedBlonde.
