Extend the Selective Service Sign Up to at least age 35. States should have been more informative about it beyond school

Created by F.C. on June 13, 2014

Being denied from financial assistance to excel your education just because you knew nothing about the Selective Service as a young man between the ages of 18-26 is too short. There are a lot of Americans out there that truly wish they completed high school and don't realize the great benefits of education until they are, on average, after the age of 26. They know nothing about this form as only presented to High School Graduates. This old law must be revised as it does not apply to the world today as we know it. Many after the age of 26 still have great potential and with the chance of educational benefits can help America in all areas of economic growth. "If you can enlist in the Military up to age 42, you should then be offered the opportunity to sign the Selective Service form.
