I never registered for the Selective Service.
Basically, because I was active duty from the time that I was 17 until after the age that I was too old to register. There was never a need.
When I applied for financial assitance, years later, I was declined for never having registered with the Selective Service. Catch-22, anyone?
Now, to this very day, every time that I register for a class, I have to present a document, from the VA, that basically states that I was exempt from the Selective Service by nature of of having actually served during the required age period. Oddly, no one was set up for that particular contingency. To me, it seemed pretty simple. But given the amount of chaos and confussion that it caused...I guess not.
