color=#0000ff>I think a lot of people are still under the impression that
Selective Service notifies young men of the registration requirement by
mail......they don't. Everyone has seen the old WWII era movies where the
young man says "well, I got my draft notice" and he has this letter in his
hand......that's the letter that says "BE HERE ON THIS DAY, YOU BELONG TO US
NOW".....not a letter telling them they need to register. It's one of
those societal responsibilities that everyone "just knows"......like you have to
file income taxes, you need a driver's license to drive a car, you can register
to vote at 18. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

need to send you a letter telling you of every other law you're subject to,
haven't you ever walked into a public library or a post office in your life?! "
opinion and my "how is society helped by denying this person a benefit that will
improve society and his life, when he's too old to be of use to our
military now anyway?" opinion. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff>The students I've dealt with in the past on this issue have, by
and large, been students that I am DARN GLAD aren't going to be joining the
military and being handed a gun. If they don't tell me that they
intentionally didn't register because they don't believe in war, etc., I give
them a pass. After all, these are the students who probably need an
education more than most......</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a Selective Service issue I
could use some help with. The Selective Service System sent me a letter
indicating that they never sent notices regarding the requirement to register
but that it is my final decision to determine if my student’s failure to
register was not knowing or willful based on the documentation submitted with
this letter.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The student attached a letter
stating that he never knew about the requirement to register because he was home
schooled from the age of eight and his father was born and raised in another
country. Any advice you can give me on how you would handle this would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
