It did,


You sure about htat?

you didn't have to register between 1975 until 1980, when Jimmy
Carter got concerned about the Soviet's in Afghanistan.


I believe that is true also.

The law has always required males to register (since the original
establishment of selective service.) If you were in the DEP or
awaiting a training date you reported that as well and were
immediately recategorized. Males still have to register on their 18th
birthday.

The registration requirement was suspended from 1975 to 1980, but
that's the only time. Lots of info at http://www.sss.gov/Default.htm

I stand corrected. Thanks.

George Z.
