Selective Service

Yes, it's required for federal aid and if you want to get a government job. Not to mention it's the law. I never gave it much thought, since the draft isn't in effect, and there would be a huge public outcry if they ever tried to reinstate it.

It is blatantly sexist, since women don't have to register. If I have to serve for my country, they should have to as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Within the next 80 years? They stop drafting people when they turn 26, since they don't want geriatric geezers fighting a war.

As for penalties, I don't know. Every job I've applied for has a box that asks if I've registered for Selective Service, but I'm not sure how often employers check that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just thank God that all I have to do is register for the draft. The possible alternative is mandatory military service for a few years after graduation, like some countries have, and that's not something I'd want.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
