[HuGo]

WOW!! :eek: Im shocked.

Gino ive got to school you right now. Lets put it this way, if the government gave you a choice to want to be in a draft, what you think the majority of the answer would be? When you turn 18 you MUST register in the selective service. Well you dont have to unless you want to go to jail. This is when the country will need to draft, and they get the selective service list and randomly choose ppl to draft. Citizens of the united states will be chosen to do jury service regardless at some point. You might not get picked, but you still have to show up.

If you haven't registered for selective service, then the govt. wont help with financial aid (fafsa) and im not sure but i dont think youll be allowed to vote? When you register to vote, your also getting registered to the selective service. Im not sure, but i think you got until 24 to do so.

For those who havent registered, you can do so here http://www.sss.gov/

If you have a job and pay taxes, thats another way to get on the jury list.

Well it doesn't really mattter. Say there's a draft tomorrow and you happen to get a letter in the mail then you will have to sign up. If you decide not to sign up anyway...your going to jail son.

every guy has to enlist into the draft thing. once you're 18 1/2 at least. or else its a fine. and i dont think enlisting gets you out of it either. just say you're in school or something. that what i did. twice.
If you get paid jury duty time from your work, just do it and get it over with.

There hasn't been a draft, what are you talking about?

[thesk8nmidget]

he is talking about avoiding jury duty. he said he was busy with school and couldnt miss that class so they put you back in their list and ask you agin down the road.

its really not a bad thing. it usually takes a few hours out of your day and you get compensated completely even gas money.

[HuGo]

i already called and registered. I might want to check this out anyway. Im heading down the criminal justice career anyway.

[thesk8nmidget]

i think you can offer to do it again if its something you dont mind doing

[saintse36]

That what I get for working for a company that works with guns all day by the way whos up to go shooting one day with me and my Bosses all you need is to beable hold a gun thats all let me know peace. By the way I buying a new gun 30-06.

i've served on a jury once (in WI, drunk driving case) and had to report for jury duty here in CO just a few weeks ago (but wasn't picked). pretty sure employers are required to compensate you for your jury service (they get your jury duty pay and pay you your normal wage). even if you're picked, usually only takes a few days and you'll learn some interesting things about our justice system.
