One of my boys has a heart condition, the other has a mental health diagnosis. This is the one situation I'm relieved about their conditions. They will register at 18, but most likely cannot serve.

No, but in the unlikely event that he's called, there are protocols in place to make sure he's "fit".

My ds registered to vote when he got his learner's driving permit at age 16. There was no mention of selective service.

That's true and Congress would have to pass legislation to draft men over 25 up to I think 50 if needed.

He would still register to guarantee government benefits an employment in the future. If there is ever a draft they would note his disability and he would not be drafted.

No, but don’t worry, there are stringent requirements to serve active duty or get drafted. My kid has an anaphylactic allergy to nuts and took stimulants for his ADHD, and these separately make him ineligible for active duty. Which is too bad, he was interested in the Naval Academy.

If your son registers to vote, it’s a required part of that process so no need to go to the selective service website.
