Interested In Being A Part Of The Selective Service?

Press release: 

Even though there is no draft today, there is a need to be ready in case a National emergency requires Selective Service to provide additional personnel to augment our volunteer U.S Forces.

Selective Service is looking for men and women who would be willing to serve as members of local draft boards. Local Board Members are volunteers appointed by the President. They play an important community role closely connected with our Nation’s defense. Potential members must be citizens, at least 18 years old, not employed in any law enforcement job, not an active or retired member of the Armed Forces and not have been convicted of any criminal offense. 

Men must also be in compliance with the registration requirement of the Selective Service.
