J has to register. Even though he is autistic,he still has to register. 

I was seeing where and when to go down and began to wonder why we still have this. 

I know now the possible reasons but it hasn't been used in almost50 years. 

Part of me is proud to have him register. But part of me still sees that little squirmy crying baby they handed me almost 18 years ago. 

Bitter sweet is all.

If he ever gets called for a physical, he will need to take a note from his physician (on the doctor's letterhead) describing his condition.

Then the Army will test him. He should be classified as "4F". Exempt.

I know.

A won't ever have to serve either. He is legally blind in one eye.

But still. My babies are just about grown.

It seems like I blinked and here we are.

Yes ! I vividly remember rocking them on my shoulder in the rocking chair, reading with them at bed time, stroking a forehead when one was too cranky to relax and fall asleep.

I would LOVE to do that all again.

I don't know about doing it again.

But I do wish I had, I don't know if appreciate is the right word, but indulged in it more.

I loved every minute with my kids. Spent lots of time with them. But still, it just went by so fast.

Do boys need to register still? I thought they did away with that years ago.

Yes. They still have to register. If they don't and can't provide good reason if caught, they face $250,000 fine and up to 5 years in prison.

And if they don't register, they are not eligible for any type of Federal aid. That's anything from scholarships to loans to, well, anything.

BTDT

agree that it's more traumatic for parents--at that age, most young men are in the " immortal " phase of their lives

As it should be.
