It’s a “draft” sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there’s no longer a draft it’s basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.
I won’t say that won’t happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it’s 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.
They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It’s easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.
Most people in the US get automatically registered by their state DMV to the feds, but you’re technically responsible for doing it even if you don’t get a driver’s license
What’s the story here please? I’m out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don’t, right?
Every male in the US under a certain age (I think it’s close to 30? I’m not American) has to register under penalty of law.
This also applies to immigrant boys/men who become citizens and transgender men (people born female who gain legal recognition as a male).
I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!

If world war 3 breaks out though ya might end up drafted still
