Your son gets his Selective Service Card.

Apparently, you no longer even have to register. They just find you and tell you that you're in. Gotta love the military industrial complex!

For people who followed the locked post drama, here is a bit more information.So, I emailed BF with my concerns about the Delta variant and she very reasonably agreed with me. The event is now virtual. So that's something? I mean, it's still a LOT more work than I bargained for, but at least I don't have to travel on top of all the other hassle.

Oh thank God.

[lydamorehouse]

I mean... yes? I still wish I didn't have to do this at all, but this feels like a little bit of a win.

[rachelmanija]

Anything is better when it can't give you Delta.

[lydamorehouse]

Yeah, I mean, we are travelling all the way across country in a car to deliver Mason to school... so it's not like I'm not doing risky things, unfortunately.

Oh, motherfucking YAY. That did sound extremely risky.

[lydamorehouse]

I can't really say much, since I will be travelling all across the country to take my son to college. So, I mean, I will be doing risky things. I'm just glad I didn't have to add to it!

Happy 18th birthday, male-assigned American person! ***sigh***

[lydamorehouse]

YEP.

*whew*, glad the event is now virtual.

Here's hoping the US doesn't decide to poke its military nose into any more countries...
