My large dreams of going back to school may be over. I filled out the applications for federal student assist to see what kind of grants/loans I would be eligible for. The response was that I never registered for selective service, so they tin't do anything for me.

I checked the website and it says that if you are over 26 (I'm 30), they tin can't do anything. Well what the hell? I remember filling out the little post card back when I was 17. I don't call back mailing information technology, but that was 13 years ago. I know that I did Virtually enlist in the Army a couple years agone. I had gone through all the background checks and stuff and this never came up.

Has anyone always had feel in dealing with something like this? I am kinda screwed correct at present

Other than entreatment every bit Oldsmoboat has mentioned, I don't know if at that place's much you can do.

Perhaps contact the Selective Service folks tin can help, although according to their website:

http://www.sss.gov/

"Yous want to protect yourself for future U.Due south. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service. Practise it today."

"STUDENT Fiscal Assist
Men, born afterwards December 31, 1959, who aren't registered with Selective Service won't qualify for Federal educatee loans or grant programs. This includes Pell Grants, College Piece of work Written report, Guaranteed Pupil/Plus Loans, and National Direct Student Loans."

Later on your 26th birthday...if you didn't register per the law, you may just be screwed.

Honoring one's civic duty...FTW.

The government automatically registered me for selective service. I never filled a menu out, was in contact with the gvt, anything. I constitute out I was already signed up when I tried to do it myself a couple weeks after I turned 18 and it told me it was already washed.

If the government automatically signs me up for it before I get a risk to do and then on my own accord, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of selective service?

Adept luck. Y'all should have filled that out with each and every motility - something that you've probably washed several times in the final thirteen years. So, y'all don't accept whatsoever real excuse (ie you could explain that the start ane got lost in the mail, but losing all the rest with each movement you made will be really hard to explain). Best I can say is to but endeavor registering now. It is probably automated and they might non notice that y'all are over 26. If it works, you'll be in their organization merely over 26 and not (currently) eligible for the draft.

Did you get that card?

No inkling. I was 17 and didn't pay attending to details. IIRC, my mom made me sign the bill of fare considering of her Social Security. I moved out soon after that and take no clue if I filled out a change of accost thinger.

My cousin joined the Army for the sole reason of wanting to find out what it feels like to kill a man. He hates the Army and can't expect to get out, but he'll stay in until he gets a kill. He's in Iraq right at present

Registering is stupid instead he should but fill out a waver course. His school should have such grade available.
