SERVICE MEN
MUST REGISTER
AFTER DISCHARGE
The Selective Service Local
Board of Brantley County announc
es that many young men who were
serving in the armed forces at the
time they were due to register have
since been discharged from the ser
vice, but have failed to register. Al
though these young men are not
subject to draft under present regu
lations, they are still obligated to
be registered within thirty days af
ter discharge from the service. -
Some young men are of the mis
taken idea that, if they are a mem
ber of the National Guard or other
reserve organization, it eliminates
the necessity of registering. These
young men are required to register
within five days after becoming
eighteen years of age.
Under the Selective Service Act
of 1948 all young men born on or
after August 30, 1922, are required
to register at their nearest local
board.
Some persons by reason of their
particular status were not required
to register at the time of the initial
registration. However, all such per
sons must present themselves for
registration when the reason for
the original exception no longer e
xists. While certain persons are not
required to register because of their
particular status, the Act provides
tnat “no exception from registra
tion shall continue after the cause
therefor ceases to exist.” Regula
tions prescribe the periods of time
within which various categories of
registrants must register following
a change in status.
Late registration is preferable to
violation of the Selective Service
Act under which prosecution could
result.
