I turned 18 in 1973 also. I asked my recruiter if I should register and he
said not to worry about it.


That's just the most ignorant thing I've heard from you yet. Registering for
selective service was never an option for men in 1973. If the recruiter told
you to jump in a lake, would you do it?


I would if my Drill Instructor had said to.

I joined the Marine Corps the same day I turned 18. Why register for the draft
then?

I'm sure Master Gunnery Sergeant Beatty didn't know whether or not I should
register for the draft. He just wanted my skinny ass to wind up on Parris
Island.

Which it did.
