You should do it right away. If not, you may forget and they don't like that. just go down to your post office and sign up.

Don`t worry bout it. Military prison food isn`t as bad as it`s cracked up to be I`m told.
With you being 18 and all the dating system might get a little rough on ya, but hey, you will have a shot a Prom Queen. :)

Here you can even do it online.

link

From the website:

As a part of that readiness, virtually all men in the U.S. are required to register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Men must be registered to be in compliance with federal law and stay eligible for student loans and grants, government jobs, job taining, all security background clearances, and U.S. citizenship for immigrants.

Trust me you don't NOT want to do it.  If you ever want to do military service or apply of federal civil service you need to know your "selective service" number.

I'd say screw it and not do it at all. If they come after ya just claim your refusal based on Sexual discrimination.
As they dont force women to do it (really kinda surprised nobody has tried that yet);)

Please don't follow Dredlock's advice, the outcome in the SCOTUS would only be to extend the draft to women too. Those of us with daughters thank you.

Just go register for the selective service, I did it when I turned 17 roughly 300 years ago, but providentially I was already too old to serve when the French and Indian War broke out... ;)

I like this plan. At the very least, it'll be entertaining.

"Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?"

Yah can't burn your draft card if you don't have one. Women say 'yes' to guys that say 'no'.

Line up, sign up, get yer selective service card today. It's the American thing to do.

Or, join Nash in Canada.
