1940- 1972 period, the United States implemented wartime conscription system and conscription system. It registered with the local conscription committee and filled out the "Classification Questionnaire". Then classify and number, and draw lots to select people who meet the service conditions. It was later abolished by President Nixon.
From 1973, the system of full voluntary military service was implemented, that is, people decided whether to join the army according to their own wishes. Therefore, the military service registration system is only a supplement to the conscription system. In order to recruit soldiers in an emergency when the country needs armed mobilization, it is similar to China's militia reserve. An American citizen or permanent resident need not be forced to join the army unless he wants to.
All boys between the ages of 65-438+08 and 26, except military personnel, diplomats in the United States and overseas residents, must complete the registration at the military service registration Bureau. Citizens, whether citizens or permanent residents, need to register within 5 days after 18' s birthday, and PR needs to complete the registration within 30 days after the green card is issued.
If he happened to be in this age range when he obtained an immigrant visa or changed his status, he would probably have automatically registered with the military service registration Bureau. If this is the case, you should receive an email showing that you are registered. If you are not sure whether you have registered, you can check the staff registered for you through the military service registration office, or you can check online through the military service registration website. When you complete the registration, it means that you have informed the government that you can join the US Army.
