I hope people can't do anything by knowing your Selective Service number.
If you can, someone let me know so I can remove it.
I was a bit excited and thought I'd share.
18 in 6 days. (March 24th)

I'd hide your number, people can probably pretend to be you or something if they're ever called in for duty, then you'll have to go... If that makes any sense.
Anyways, congratulations
Lol, enjoy being subject to draft.

Yeah I did.
Like you said, better safe than sorry.
Is this spam?
I was sort of excited because I had honestly been looking forward to being able to register.
I live on an Air Force Base, so it's sort of a big deal here.

What if I am over age 26 and haven't registered?
Once you reach age 26, it's too late to register. Even though you may not be prosecuted, you will be denied student financial assistance, Federal job training, and most Federal employment unless you can provide convincing evidence to the agency providing the benefit you are seeking, that your failure to register was not knowing and willful.
(See also Men Over the Age of Eligibility to Register.) All other men must register upon reaching age 18 (or before age 26,
Even though you may not be prosecuted i dont like that part

When you become a legal adult in the U.S. (at the age of 18) you are required to register for the selective service. So basically, if Iran, Russia, and the crazy Korea (I forget if it's south or north haha), decide to start a 3rd world war and we're in the middle of it, the government can initiate the draft if needed, thus having practically every 18-35 year old male citizen as a possible soldier if needed.

The chances of it happening?
Small.
We have more than enough Armed Forces at this time.
and thanks for the Grats guys.

How is this a big deal? It's pretty much something you have to do.. not like you went out of your way and did it, not like you're giving up something by doing that...
srsly
