Context
The Selective Service System was reestablished in 1980 after the draft ended in 1973. While there has been no draft since the Vietnam War, registration remains mandatory. Failure to register can result in fines, imprisonment, and loss of eligibility for federal student aid, job training, and federal employment. The system maintains a database of potential draftees to ensure rapid mobilization if needed.
