How To Stay Out of the Military (Primer on Draft Resistance)
Please read this. It could be one of the most important essays you
have ever read: If you have a brother of age, a son, a husband, a
daughter, a wife, a family member, person you love; If you give a damn
about the military machine taking our children -- or if you DID or did
NOT live through the Viet Nam War. Read it if your husband is a vet,
your dad is a vet, your mom is a vet, you spouse is a vet, your family
member, dear friend, loved one, child ... Do not think it can't happen
here. It will it did and they are already making the plans for you.
How To Stay Out of the Military
(Primer on Draft Resistance)

( '? duckdaotsu lost many friends and loved ones to the draft, helped
resisters get to Canada, almost lost her husband to the draft, and
marched against its reinstatement in the late '70s. She assisted COs
during the Gulf War and is committed to assisting anyone who may wish to
file for CO status. This duck will be a human shield for anyone who
needs safe haven from the draft.

The legal requirement to register for the draft demands a decision: give
up your freedom and your conscience, or conscientiously resist. All the
good reasons that would prevent a free man from volunteering for
military service, also apply to resisting the draft. How in a "free
country" can the first requirement of a young man, when he comes of age,
be to sign up to accept orders to kill for the state in an organized
way? There is never a need to compel a free man to take up a cause that
is both necessary and just; but a man who is drafted is never free, and
thus his cause can never be assumed to be either necessary or just.
The draft is not simply an academic interest. There is not enough
military manpower to sustain the commitments the President has already
undertaken. We constantly hear that our troops are "stretched too thin."
To assist the United States, both the President and Secretary of State
have made serious requests for significant military manpower
contributions from other nations. These requests have largely fallen on
deaf ears. The President has repeatedly stated he will not "back down"
meaning, we must assume, that the military forces will continue to be
"thinly stretched." Where will they find relief? It appears they are
looking at young Americans who are free to volunteer for military duty,
but in good conscience, choose not to do so.
With certain exceptions, all men residing in the United States are
required to register for the draft within 30 days of their 18th
birthday. The obligation of a man to register is imposed by the Military
Selective Service Act, which establishes and governs the operations of
the Selective Service System.
In addition to the Military Selective Service Act, the "Health Care
Personnel Delivery System" was authorized by Congress in 1987 to deal
with large-scale casualties that outstripped the active-duty military's
ability to handle them. If implemented, the bill would require a mass
registration of male and female health care workers between the ages of
20 and 45. At this time; however, the Selective Service has no statutory
authority to draft medical personnel. That authorization would be
provided by legislation to be introduced and passed in Congress at the
time of a national defense mobilization. That "M-Day" legislative
package has not been made available for public comment or congressional
debate. See the Center on Conscience and War's "Health Care
Professionals and the Draft" for details regarding the Health Care
Personnel Delivery System.
The Pentagon is considering other "special skills" drafts, to include
military linguists, computer experts, or engineers, which could arise
from other immediate needs. "We're going to elevate that kind of draft
to be a priority," said Lewis Brodsky, acting director of the Selective
Service System.
A bill before the House Armed Services Committee would require the
induction of young men into the military "to receive basic military
training and education for a period of up to one year." Representatives
Nick Smith and Curt Weldon sponsored the bill, called the "Universal
Military Training and Service Act," introduced last fall. The measure is
currently before the Armed Services Committee. Youth & Militarism
Magazine, published by the American Friends Service Committee, contains
an excellent article, "It's Not Your Father's Draft," describing this
proposed draft.
Deciding What To Do
Deciding what to do when faced with Registration or the Draft can be a
difficult and life-altering decision. If you choose to resist, it is
helpful to keep two things in mind:
First, if you stand by your convictions, you cannot lose, and the
government cannot win. The government may handcuff you or lock you up,
but they cannot make you fight. If you give up any freedom, it is
completely on your terms. In contrast, if you allow yourself to be
coerced into military duties you risk death, disease, and disability,
all for a cause you do not believe in.
Second, if you choose to resist, you will be treated as an adversary by
the government. The government is no longer your friend - if it ever
was. You can expect the Selective Service to use every legal method and
argument at their disposal to get you to abandon your convictions and to
follow orders.
Keep records carefully, and make your own file of every transaction with
the Selective Service, including phone calls. Do not rely on oral
promises from Selective Service officials. Put things in writing, and
attach receipts and even envelopes to the correspondence in your file. A
second set of those records should be in the custody of someone you can
rely on to forward copies as needed. When you make a record of a
transaction with Selective Service, you should send a copy to Selective
Service for inclusion in your file with the Area Office. When local
boards become operational, you can see and copy information in your
file. You can authorize others to do so on your behalf. Send your
letters and claims to Selective Service by Certified Mail, Return
Receipt Requested. Observe all deadlines scrupulously. Be sure to
include your Selective Service number. Sign and date all papers
submitted.
Get help. Check out how the counselor you are consulting was trained.
Most attorneys know nothing about Selective Service law; ask their
qualifications. Draft counselors will tend to know about qualified
attorneys. There are two qualified national counseling organizations:
The Center on Conscience & War (CCW), and the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors (CCCO).
Choosing To Not Register
On a percentage basis, not registering is the most likely way to prevent
you from being drafted. The book Chance and Circumstance states that
between 250,000 and 2 million males did not register for the draft
during the Vietnam War. According to reports from the Selective Service
System, forty percent of the men who are required to register for the
draft don't register in the sixty-day time period required by law. At
least one or two percent still haven't registered by the time they are
twenty. At age 26 they are no longer allowed to register. Thus, the
number of permanent non-registrants increases daily. There is a known
minimum of at least 300,000 people, perhaps a million, who are becoming
permanent non-registrants.
If you refuse to register with Selective Service, you'll receive
threatening letters, at first politely reminding you to register, then
threatening prosecution, finally informing you that your name has been
turned over to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. These
sound scary, but they're mostly bluff. No one has been formally charged
since 1986.
In the early 1980s, 21 men were indicted for refusal to register: 19 of
those 21 were public resisters. Wherever there were trials, the rates of
registration actually went down. This resistance halted prosecutions
Penalties for Failure to Register
The penalty for failing to register can be up to five years in jail
and/or a fine of up to $250,000. In peacetime, with registration only,
the regular maximum penalties are four months and/or $2500. If you don't
register, you become ineligible for federal student aid, federal job
training or civil service employment. Below, is a summary of the
penalties you will face:
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Men, born after December 31, 1959, who aren't registered with Selective
Service won't qualify for Federal student loans or grant programs. This
includes Pell Grants, College Work Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans,
and National Direct Student Loans.
CITIZENSHIP
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) makes registration
with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship if the man first
arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.
FEDERAL JOB TRAINING
The Workforce Investment Act (formerly called the Job Training
Partnership Act - JTPA) offers programs that can train young men for
jobs in auto mechanics and other skills. This program is only open to
those men who register with Selective Service. This applies only to men
born after December 31, 1959.
FEDERAL JOBS
A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch
of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service. This applies only
to men born after December 31, 1959.
Some states have added additional penalties for those who fail to
register. See State Legislation.
A tactic used by many states is to require driver license applicant's to
register. These states require a consent statement on all applications
or renewals for driver's permits, licenses, and identification cards.
The statement tells the applicant that by submitting the application he
is consenting to his registration with the Selective Service if so
required by Federal law. Transmission of applicant data to the Selective
Service is accomplished electronically through an existing arrangement
each state has with the data sharing system of the American Association
of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
As of August 28, 2003, 32 states, 2 territories, and the District of
Columbia have enacted driver's license laws supporting SSS registration.
They are: (1)Enacted and Implemented - Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Virginia, West Virginia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia; (2) Enacted
But Not Yet Implemented - Arizona, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Wisconsin
Aid for Those Who Do Not Register
The good news is that there are alternative funds for financial aid for
those who cannot register for war because they believe registration is
wrong. A few colleges will provide scholarships to make up for the
government money denied. Mennonites, the Church of the Brethren,
Quakers, Presbyterians and Lutherans have such limited assistance funds
to support non-registrants in their own groups. There is a general fund,
the Fund for Education and Training (FEAT), which supports those who do
not qualify for the other programs. FEAT also would aid those who are
denied job-training programs for refusing to register for the draft.
Appealing the Penalties for Failure to Register
A non-registrant may not be denied any benefit if he can "show by a
preponderance of evidence" that his failure to register was not knowing
and willful. You will have to describe, in detail, the circumstances you
believe prevented you from registering and provide copies of documents
showing any periods when you were hospitalized, institutionalized, or
incarcerated occurring between your 18th and 26th birthdays. If you are
a non-citizen, you may be required to provide documents that show when
you entered the United States
The benefit agency official handling your case, not the Selective
Service, will determine whether you have shown that your failure to
register was not a knowing and willful failure to register. The final
decision regarding your eligibility for the benefit that you seek will
be made by that same agency, (for example, for student financial aid,
this would be the Department of Education.) With some agencies, an
appeals process is available.
Registering Late, Change of Address
Legally, at any moment until your twenty-sixth birthday, Selective
Service must accept your draft registration card. Some young men delay
registration until the year in which they turn 21, or even until just
before turning 26. This method takes advantage of the way the draft
lottery works.
A lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered
men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a
sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday
falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23,
24 and 25. In other words, under present law, which might change with a
new draft, Selective Service would first select randomly among those who
turned 20 in the calendar year of the call-up. In practice, while it's
possible that a draft could move beyond the age-20 selection group, the
odds are against it.
It is important to remember that, once registered, even if it is the day
before your 26th birthday, you are once again eligible for federal and
state assistance.
Change of Address
Registrants are required to notify Selective Service within ten days of
any changes to any of the information provided on the registration card,
such as a change of address. According to the Center on Conscience and
War, very few registrants are doing so. A registrant must report changes
until January 1 of the year he turns 26. To notify Selective Service,
mark your change(s) on the Change Information Form attached to the
Registration acknowledgment Card and mail it to Selective Service, or
complete a Change of Information Form, SSS Form 2, which you can obtain
at any U.S. Post Office or U.S. Embassy or Consulate office. You may
also notify Selective Service of any change by letter, but be sure to
include your full name, Social Security Account Number, Selective
Service Number, and date of birth, as well as your new mailing address
If the registrant forgets to notify the Selective Service of any address
changes, or if the Selective Service loses that notification, the
Selective Service may have difficulty finding and notifying the
registrant of induction in case of a draft.
If you don't register before you turn 26, you will not be allowed to
register, even if you change your mind. You'd then be permanently barred
from such benefits, unless Congress or the courts act to change the law.
A person who fails to register by age 26 may use the same appeals
process as described above, under the section "Choosing To Not
Register."
Registering But Resisting Induction
If you decide to register:
* Find a post office for your registration that has an accessible
photocopier.
* Print in legible black ink across the middle of the registration form:
I AM A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR TO WAR IN ANY FORM. This is not a
classification, but it may help you later to document your position as a
CO. Selective Service makes no record of this declaration in its
computer files, but they do make a microfilm record of the registration
card. You should make a copy of your card for your file.
* Make a photocopy of your registration form for your own records. Date
it, fold and seal it, and mail it to yourself. The postmark confirms the
date.
* Put a complete statement of your conscientious objector beliefs on
file with your religious body, the CCW, the CCCO, or any other
counseling agency.
After registration, Selective Service will send a "registration
acknowledgement" letter, which repeats the information the registrant
gave on the form and supplies a Selective Service Number. If any of the
information is incorrect, the registrant may return the accompanying
Form 3B to correct any mistakes. The registrant can retain this letter,
Form 3A, as proof of his registration.
Before anyone can be drafted, Congress and the President would have to
enact legislation authorizing new draft calls. If this happens, one can
apply for various postponements and reclassifications to delay
induction, or to avoid it entirely.
Filing for postponement or reclassification
Selective Service regulations are filled with loopholes, postponements,
and reclassifications for those who will not or cannot be drafted. A
registrant can file a claim only after receipt of an order to report for
induction and before the day he is scheduled to report (this means
within 10 days). If you were called up, you would receive an induction
notice requiring you to report on a certain date not less than 10 days
from the date of the notice, to a Military Entrance Processing Station
(MEPS) unless you filed a claim for exemption or deferment. Filing a
claim involves no more than checking a box on a form, and submitting it
to the Selective Service.
After the Selective Service receives the claim, they will send you more
forms to complete. You must apply for any and all exemptions for which
you think you may qualify, and/or for classification as a conscientious
objector. A registrant automatically gets his induction delayed if he
files a claim for reclassification. He is also entitled to file for a
postponement if he is a student or if he has an emergency beyond his
control, such as a serious illness or death in his immediate family. The
induction date will be postponed until the draft board evaluates the
validity of the claim. The Selective Service publishes a booklet titled
"Information for Registrants" which lists each category of claim for
postponement of induction into the armed forces and each type of
reclassification to become exempt from the draft. Under each heading
(accessible by the web) is a detailed description of the qualifications
and requirements for each category. The major headings are listed below.

For a hard copy of the above information, write to Consumer Information
Center, Pueblo, CO 81009, and ask for "Information for Registrants."
Enclose $1 for processing, payable to Superintendent of Documents. The
CCCO, CCW and other counseling agencies will probably also have copies
of this document available.
Conscientious Objectors
Conscientious Objection is the category of reclassification of most
interest to the majority of draft resisters. In fact, every draft
resister is a conscientious objector in his own way. According to the
Selective Service, a conscientious objector is one who is opposed to
serving in the armed forces and/or bearing arms on the grounds of moral
or religious principles. Beliefs which qualify a registrant for CO
status may be religious in nature, but don't have to be. Beliefs may be
moral or ethical, but according to the Selective Service, a man's
reasons for not wanting to participate in a war must not be based on
politics, expediency, or self-interest. In general, the man's lifestyle
prior to making his claim must reflect his current claims.
Be aware that, while similar, regulations regarding Conscientious
Objection differ for members of the military forces. For more
information on claiming Conscientious Objector status while a member of
the Armed Forces, see "Advice For Conscientious Objectors in the Armed
Forces" by Robert Seeley on the CCCO website.
Conscientious objectors should begin to document their claims well in
advance of being drafted since otherwise, their time will be very
limited. COs should have prepared in advance a file which documents
their beliefs. At the minimum, this file should include the photocopy of
the registration card, a comprehensive statement of beliefs, and letters
of support for this statement. The CCW website has articles with
detailed instructions on how to prepare your statement of beliefs and
letters of support. There, you may also sign on to the Conscientious
Objector Affirmation. Such evidence can be presented to the local board
that will hear the claim for a CO classification. Compiling this file
should be done with supervision from a qualified draft counselor or
agency such as CCW or CCCO.
If you have one, get on record with your religious organization,
especially if there is an official registrar. File a provisional version
of your claim with them and/or with the CCW or CCCO. Request an analysis
of your claim with your counselor. Arrange for letters of support
(signed and dated) and documentation of your belief and a life-style
consistent with your claim. Arrange for witnesses and an advisor in
advance of your hearing.
If you don't have legal advice, get it. Keep your own file about your
beliefs about war and the draft. Keep records of all transactions with
the Selective Service System. Many local peace centers have information.
The Center on Conscience & Warfare (CCW) provides a counseling service
by mail and phone, and publishes aids for thinking out what you believe
and what to do. So does the CCCO, the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors.
Be sure to learn the procedure for obtaining conscientious objection
status.
In general, once a man gets a notice that he has been found qualified
for military service (i.e., receives an induction letter), he has the
opportunity to make a claim for classification as a conscientious
objector (CO). If a registrant believes he can qualify for Class 1-O, he
should complete the Claim Documentation Form, Conscientious Objector
(SSS Form 22), provided by his Area Office and return the form to the
Area Office with documents and written statements to support his claim.
Form 22 asks the applicant to answer three questions.
1. Describe your beliefs that are the reasons for your claiming
conscientious objection to combatant military training and service or to
all military training and service.
2. Describe how and when you acquired these beliefs
3. Explain what most clearly shows that your beliefs are deeply held.
You may wish to include a description of how your beliefs affect the way
you live.
You should begin preparing answers to these questions as soon as you
decide to claim Conscientious Objector status. The Center on Conscience
and War provides an excellent worksheet to help you.
A registrant making a claim for Conscientious Objection is required to
appear before his local board to explain his beliefs. Claimants for
hardship or ministerial classification may also request a personal
appearance. At a personal appearance you will have at least twenty
minutes, and may present up to three witnesses. You may be accompanied
by an advisor, and may request that the meeting be open. You cannot use
a recorder at the meeting; but you can submit your own summary within
five days after the hearing.
If a claim of conscientious objector status is granted, Selective
Service regulations state that the registrant must perform alternative
service. Of course, one may also choose to resist or refuse alternative
service for reasons of conscience. Likely Alternative Service jobs are
in the fields of conservation, caring for the very young or very old,
education, or health care. Length of service in the program will equal
the amount of time a man would have been assigned to the military.
Appealing a Claim That Is Denied
The local board will decide whether to grant or deny a CO classification
based on the evidence a registrant has presented. If your claim is
rejected, you will receive a new induction date. The CCCO, CCW, and
others can help you find lawyers and/or counselors to help you through
the lengthy appeals process. The board must give reasons for rejection
of your claim. You may appeal a Local Board's decision to a Selective
Service District Appeal Board. If the Appeal Board also denies your
claim, but the vote is not unanimous, you may further appeal the
decision to the National Appeal Board
Refusing Induction
You do, in good conscience, object to Registration and the Draft. This
does not change simply because the Selective Service denies your claim.
Since there is currently no draft, there are no rules governing those
who refuse induction. Historically, draft resisters have been prosecuted
and penalized in some manner. You can expect the same. If you choose to
refuse induction or were successful using one of the methods described
above, you will join a long line of conscientious objectors proud to
have defended their freedom to make their own conscientious decisions,
and your freedom to do the same. For their stories, check out one of the
many books currently available on conscientious objectors and
conscientious objection. If you let your conscience be your guide, not
your fear or doubt or uncertainty, you will always make a good decision,
you will always be free, and you will never regret it.

Appendix 1: SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Here is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States
returned to a draft:
1.CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT
A crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military
can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation that
starts a draft.
2. THE LOTTERY
The lottery would establish the priority of call based on the birth
dates of registrants. The first men drafted would be those turning age
20 during the calendar year of the lottery. For example, if a draft were
held in 1998, those men born in 1978 would be considered first. If a
young man turns 21 in the year of the draft, he would be in the second
priority, in turning 22 he would be in the third priority, and so forth
until the year in which he turns 26 at which time he is over the age of
liability. Younger men would not be called in that year until men in the
20-25 age group are called
3.ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED
The Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces
Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure.
4.PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS
Registrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a
physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing
Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he
is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given
10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See
also Classifications.
5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT
Local and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass
the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will
have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station
for induction.
The registrant appeal process begins when a registrant is dissatisfied
with his Local Board's decision about his reclassification request and
initiates an appeal. The first line of appeal is to the District Appeal
Board. In the case of non-unanimous decisions of the District Appeal
Board, the registrant may appeal to the President through the National
Appeal Board.
6.FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED
According to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first
inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.
