(Thread about "whats your excuse" got me wheels churning . . .)

Did you sign up for Selective Service?  If so, what branch?  If not why didn't you (explain).
Poll Coming



BTW, I did for the Marine Corps.  Did it for kicks (and because your supposed to) as I had already enlisted at age 17.

Yep, when I turned 18 twenty-four years ago.

Didn't EVERYBODY have to sign up within 90 days of their 18th birthday?  

I know I was asked to prove I did a time or two related to college/postgraduate admission, IIRC.

And it was just "selective service," I didn't have an option to SELECT a service.

uh exactly.

I don't remember seeing an option on it for which branch I preferred.

When they do a draft, the only selecting going on will be the government selecting which branch to put me in.

You don't have to if you don't send in the postcard.

I picked US Army but for the life of me cannot remember if I was given a choice on the thing and that was only 6 years ago.  I'll have to go look at the bottom of my safe.

I was active duty when it was implimented.

I tried to get a half day off to go register out of my NCO to go register but he saw through my scam.
4/13/2005 1:38:59 PM EDT

Yep - I know that in when I signed up in 1979 you didn't select what service. That's kinda up to them if there's a draft.

That was 15 years ago.  No choices, just sign up.

Dang, that was 30 years ago. Walked in with a broken leg and signed right up. Missed Viet Nam by about 10 months.

I signed up for Selective Service back when I turned 18.  I'm 22 now and don't know for what branch it was.
4/13/2005 1:42:58 PM EDT

I filled out it electronically 1 week after my 18th birthday. I had no option of branch, so I put no option of branch.

Had I the option, I probably would've put down USAF or Army.

i did it less than 6 months ago, i don't remember any choise

Same here, back when I signed up (seems like ages ago), you just went to the post office and filled, I did it on my 18th b-day.

Now here in FL, you register, and when you renew your license, they automatically change your current info to SS. But of course now, I am over the age required to keep info current.

I did in '95, but there was no branch choice.

Of course I was disqualified for life from any possibility of military service later that year.  Epilepsy.

signed up on my 18th birthday a long long time ago. It was so long ago, there was only one branch of service. (ba-doom-boom)  My draft card was on parchment. (ba-doom-boom)  My draft classification was 1-BC. (ba-doom-boom) I wanted the  Navy, but I failed rowing. (ba-doom-boom)

I did and did not have a branch choice.  If it came to the point where we needed a draft again, I would already be in the servcie anyway.
4/13/2005 2:02:17 PM EDT
[#21]
Yup, had too when you turned 18 in 1967. Went to the Post Office, and wound up being 4F. So I have never served but did as I was supposed to do back then and sign up.
4/13/2005 2:06:05 PM EDT
[#22]
I did, but I don't recall there being any choices when I did it. Then again I joined the Army not long afterwards so I haven't really worried about it since then.
4/13/2005 2:06:07 PM EDT
[#23]
I registered on my 18th birthday in 2003. I did it online in the middle of my journalism class just to piss off the teacher. No branch selection available though.
4/13/2005 2:10:42 PM EDT
[#24]
Considering that on the day I turned 18, I was a in a foxhole fighting mock enemies during AF Security Forces training - nope, I never signed up.

I joined the Army at 17, so no, I never did.  No need.
4/13/2005 2:14:05 PM EDT

Yes, I did. On my 18th birthday. U.S. Navy.
4/13/2005 2:15:06 PM EDT

I hate this thread, It made me do the math. May 1982 and no option.
4/13/2005 2:27:10 PM EDT

Did it when I was 18 (2001), and didn't get an option for service.

Can we get an updated entry in the poll for "Yes, but I didn't get to pick a service"?

Yes, when I was 18, no service selection available.

Didn't select anything in the poll because there is no selection suitable.
4/13/2005 3:23:16 PM EDT
[#34]
YES.  I didn't sign up for a particular branch.  You HAVE to when you turn 18.  You WILL NOT get financial aid, as I understand it, if you do not sign up.

When I was 18 there was a Draft in place.

I had to register.

I had no option of where I could have gone to.

I was Classified 1-H.
4/13/2005 4:19:18 PM EDT
[#37]
Yep.

Despite being rejected from every service due to medical issues, they won't take me off the rolls. I asked.
4/13/2005 4:27:04 PM EDT

1980, no choice of branch

There was no registration requirement when I turned 18.  That was 1976.

Vietnam era registration ended in 1974.  I missed that by two years.  I wasn't required to register in 1980 when it began again.

Not only that, I'm physically unqualified for active duty service because of my lazy eye and flat feet.
4/13/2005 4:41:40 PM EDT

I sent it in on my 18th birthday..

Me too... I don't think we got to pick a service (but that was a looong time ago)
4/13/2005 4:51:31 PM EDT
[#43]
Nope I didn't sign up for the Selective Service. I got a Nasty Gram from them while I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp. One of my DI's thought it was hilarious and sent them a letter saying that I couldn't get to the post office to register as I was previously engaged at MCRD Parris Island SC.
4/13/2005 4:56:27 PM EDT
[#44]
No.  

Didn't have to, so I didn't.

Also knew that if the country really needed me I would enlist.
4/13/2005 4:58:25 PM EDT
[#45]
No.  I never signed up for the selective service.
4/13/2005 4:59:32 PM EDT

no
4/13/2005 5:06:03 PM EDT

i didn't have to since I was born before Dec 31st 1959.  
4/13/2005 5:09:35 PM EDT

I did.

Six months after I joined the Marine Corps.

Signed up; took the physical; then they invented this thing they called a lottery.

Most people were hoping they didn't win.
