[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 188767, member: 2727"] Slsh, My son Chris just got a letter two days ago for Selective Services. Anyone that is between the age of 18 to 26 is mandated by federal laws to register. I called this morning to ask if I needed to send them any documentation from my sons Dr's as proof of his being severely disabled and the guy told me no. They apparently don't want to store the millions of medical documents. He did say that despite Chris being severely disabled that he has to register regardless but stated that the likely hood of him being recruited will more then likely never happen unless they do a draft. That would be when I would , Oh wait my son (wanted cadet) would have to provide any medical documents proving that he is not military material. Hmmm, Lol!! He was laughing along with me but had to explain the federal law and went on to say that I could register him online due to the fact that Chris does not have the ability to write let alone be verbal. I told the guy that I would be more then happy to take Chris to a recruiting office along with his feeding bag, IV Pole, Pump and all. He just laughed. So I will register him online. They majorly press the issue that they will PROSECUTE my son if he does not respond in 10 days. Yikes!!!! Scarey..... I say go ahead arrest and prosecute. Lol!!!! Geeze, Chris is in a wheelchair (Never will be mobile otherwise) with a G-Tube as his only source for nutrition, Cortical Blind along with a seizure disorder (Grand malls) Go figure. Poor kid, He just turned 21 and the world is just beating him on the head. But that is ok, I am a warrier Mom and I am his protector, Lol!!!! I say go ahead and mess with him. Bring it on..... :-) When my difficult child was in high school she would tell me about the military guys coming to the school to recruit. I am totally against them doing that. You have to figure that many of these high school kids are ummmm not mature enough to make such a life changing decision like that and as far as I am concerned my belief is that the gov is taking advantage of that.
