How many enlisted felons serving in Iraq never filed a selective service registration?

You are misinformed on this point.

1. Convicted felons are not allowed to serve in the Armed Forces. It would require a pardon from the President or Governor from the state where the conviction occurred to get such a person into any of the Armed Forces.

2. Any male who enlists in the Armed Forces immediately satisfies his Selective Service obligation. When one gets processed through MEPS, they will give him a paper stating this fact.

By the way, have you given the military any consideration in your job search?
