I got a funny letter today.
what was this funny letter, you ask? well! it was a letter informing me that I have been automatically signed up for the draft, as is customary in the US for boys after they turn 18.

lovely! wait...this just in! I am not a boy!

I checked out my driver's license and somehow the DMV managed to put the wrong gender on my card. To the United States of America, I am a man.

fantastic!

update: I went and got a new driver's license on thursday. I am now a female again. They had me take a new picture and it looks like a mug shot. I need to call Selective Services on monday so they take me off the draft list.


also, I don't know why it took so long for them to sign me up--I turned 18 in May!

Now I remember that blog where I remembered being called ma'am, so I guess this is just right.

Picnic on the beach sounds peachy, you sure know how to treat a lady.

since when is there a draft?
Jellyes
Jellyes on Aug 17 '08 at 8:34pm
since World War 1?
It never completely went away, just nobody's been drafted since.

You'll have to sign up when you're 18, too! Weee!

Jellyes on Aug 17 '08 at 8:35pm

Jellyes
Jellyes on Aug 17 '08 at 8:46pm
yes

I still haven't gotten my stuff for yet, though, and I turned 18 in March!
Maybe I'm listed as a female on my driver's license.

Actually, the last draft was for Vietnam. Nixon ended conscription and the last person to be registered into Selective Services was in 1972.
The started having people register with Selective Services again in 1980, but they are pretty lax with the regulation/fines of getting into the system which is why many guys who turn 18 get put into the draft pretty late, or sometimes not at all.
iPear
iPear on Aug 17 '08 at 8:48pm
yeah, but we have a volunteer armed force.
Khol
Khol on Aug 17 '08 at 8:49pm
And the first draft was for the Civil War...not WWI

didn't read the comments, just your post.

my comment about the draft: it's only fair for women to be drafted along with the men.
iPear
iPear on Aug 17 '08 at 9:04pm
women dont' have penises, so if they get killed.

women just don't have penises.
