Of course I'm too young to have to worry about the draft, but I remember when I turned 18 and of course got my draft card in to fill out but we were in the process of moving so I waited. Well we get moved and as soon as we get the new address going the first day I checked the mail a new draft card was sent that said "Moving?" lol I couldn't believe they were so quick to find me lol

Now here in Alabama even if you don't sign up for the draft, when you sign for your drivers license you are signing up for the draft for those that try to avoid it.
