I thought you couldn't touch them until they were 18?

"What "amazed" Chevalier was that his son would not be eligible to serve in the military for another two years.

And neither he nor his son knew before going to the Office of Motor Vehicles that Natan would be required to pre-register for the draft in order to get his first driver's license, he said.

After questioning the early registration, Chevalier researched the issue and learned the Legislature passed Act 373 in the 2003 session dictating that all males aged 15 up to 18 seeking a first-time driver's license or an OMV identification card must register with Selective Service."

1. They tried to recruit my 15 year old daughter

because she takes a computer course at the school district's career center. The army gave her a really cool pen but thank god she's not interested!

3. It's possible all states

are doing that. When my 17 year old son got his Learner's Permit at 16 they registered him for the selective service. I'm not remotely happy about it.
