'''[[The Draft]]''' . . .
---------
"Although there is currently no military draft, men who are American citizens (regardless of country of residence) or aliens who are permanent residents of the United States are required to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Within the U.S., registration forms should be available at any Post Office. On-line registration is also available. To find out more about registration and related issues, you may visit the [[Selective Service System]]'s web site." [http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/call/draft.htm Federal Citizen Information Center, National Contact Center] (Last updated 31 March 2003; accessed 8 December 2003).
