@ Elk Hunter: I actually received my draft notice at mail call in Navy Boot Camp. I ignored it, I hope I'm not in trouble... @ Brad: It's a pain in the ass and you receive little recognition and I assume NO money, but you do it because it needs doing and it's for your country. Good for you. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Congrats. Years ago, I was stationed in St. Louis. They would show up about once a year to fire up their computers and make sure everything still worked. I enlisted before they came and got me. Stayed a hell of a lot longer than I planned. | |||

Pretty sure it entails washing the dirty trucks of some Sigforumites from like-minded states like Mississippi....

My draft call came in the mail while I was serving as a 2Lt USAF at a remote radar site in coastal Oregon. My Commander said to just ignore it--they'd take care of it. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Congrats Brad! You're a good man for the job. Thanks for serving. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Congratulations Brad. Hope we'll never have to use your services as this nation would be in trouble. Yes, the "Preserve, protect and defend..." always sent chills down my spine. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

For those who asked, here is what the local boards do in the event of a Draft be undertaken: "If a military draft becomes necessary, approximately 2,000 local boards throughout the United States would decide which young men in each community receive deferments, postponements, or exemptions from military service based on federal guidelines." Link Thanks for your kind words everyone. It truly is an honor to serve in this role. I fall into a strange window where I never had to register and I never had a draft card. It occurred for about 18 months for those born in late 1957 to mid 1959. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

I know we no longer draft people into the military, bug the way my father described hos experiences I don't know that I'd want to be associated with that particular group of "friends & neighbors". Either way, congratulations on the opportunity and hopefully it allows you to advance your ambitions. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

I think many, maybe even most, who hang out here have taken an oath that features that same phrase, and many of them have administered it. All recognize that that oath does not have an expiration date -- once taken it's with you, part of you, for life. God bless you sir, and keep you! Thanks, Sap | |||
