Uh-oh. I wonder if I’m non-compliant with the Selective Service System. I think I’m okay. I remember registering; I just don’t recall there being a card. I wonder if that’s new….

Thanks for the explanation!

Stanley — you may have gotten an envelope from the Selective Service just before your 18th birthday. It doesn’t look much different than junk mail, so you may have thrown it out. I’m not sure how important it is to have, but we’re making the boy carry his in his wallet. It seems like a throwback to another era but I think we owe it to those who were drafted, and who served to honor the card, no matter how we feel about the practice. Wow, that was a lecture. Didn’t mean that. Go get a draft card.

You’ve raised a child. What an amazing concept. While I wouldn’t say your work is done, it’s still something to ponder.

Does he really have a draft card? I never got a draft card. Am I in trouble?

Yep, I’d have to agree. I remember my parents pounding that into my brain before I moved out. This is why all of my furniture is near 100 years old!

Heh. (:
