[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised so many people don't know about the draft. My son recently turned 18 and registered. A couple of his friends' moms called me asking about it. Maybe I am familiar because I had brothers so there were many conversations in my household about the draft. My  father and his age group were Draft age during the Vietnam War and I heard stories about how they were fortunate not to be drafted.

When male students applied for college financial aid, loans, scholarships and filled out the FAFSA, they were also required to sign up for the Selective Service System. It was easy to do and included in the application. If a male didn't register they didn't get aid.

However, [b]as a part of the 2020 FAFSA Simplification Act, a student’s eligibility to receive college aid is no longer tied to their registration status[/b] with the Selective Service. So there is no more automatic registration with the FAFSA.

Many States have automatic registration for the Draft when males get drivers licenses.
