You can check for yourself and if you are registered, obtain your Selective Service number by entering your information here:

When asked if you registered for the draft and are a Veteran, then your answer will depend upon what effect you are trying to create:
- Smart ass. I gave at the office when I enlisted.
- Bureacratic. I was supposed to fill out two different forms? I thought the one form I filled out when I enlisted was sufficient.
- Accurate. I am a veteran who has already honorably served in our Armed Forces.
- Short. No or Yes (depending upon which is correct).
- Explanatory. Enlisting in the Armed Forces and registering for the draft are two different actions for two different purposes. Enlisting is a current issue to serve in the Armed Forces now while registering for the draft is a future issue as a contingency for possible future conflict. You would think that the right hand of government could talk with the left hand of government but that is not the case.

Many Programs (indeed any Federal employment) tied to Federal funding require men over 18 born after 1960 answering and with my specific Program then verifying Registration through the Selective Service System.

Simply put, this only applies to men born after 1960.

If you have any additional questions message me or visit the Selective Service System's FAQ Page.
