<p>Justmomof4:</p>
<p>you know sometimes mistakes happen and its no intentional, there are exceptions. Also i’m 31 and the economy is crap i would like own a home a car and be able to support a family a semister will take me eight years to get a bachelors…</p>
<p>in country where to make over 70 more and more people need there masters.</p>
<p>I just want a fair chance.</p>
<p>I wasn’t draft dogging. Its not always so cut and dry my life was complicated and now thats its settle i’m trying to the right thing and educate myself and i jsut want that chance.</p>
<p>TheEveryMan -
I get that. Now go appeal. It is your only hope. We can’t help you here.</p>
<p>PS there are plenty of well paying jobs that one can have with a two year CC degree. It’s your choice. Complain or take action.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that since I haven’t turned 18 yet, I didn’t need to register on the 09-10 FAFSA. Can I go back and register when I make corrections?</p>
<p>i have the same question as drmrbrian. i left that section blank because i’m still 17. is this ok?</p>
<p>Same question as both above! I won’t be 18 until summer and I didn’t register for the draft. Am I screwed for financial aid, or is this acceptable? If I change it now, will it make a difference?</p>
<p>Please help! There is not much time left!</p>
<p>You won’t get federal aid until you register. probably the easiest thing is to go in and make a correction to FAFSA.</p>
<p>I just re-read the FAFSA, and it states specifically: “If you are a male aged 18-25…” I am not, so does that mean it doesn’t apply to me for this year? I understand that next year I’ll be 18 and will register, but technically, wouldn’t registering myself be supplying a false reponse?</p>
<p>I you are not yet 18, you are not required to have registered to receive financial aid.</p>
<p>However, once you turn 18, you will have to register in order to CONTINUE to receive FEDERAL financial aid.</p>
<p>BTW: I think the question now is “Register me”, rather than “have you registered”. Check the box. If you get an error message (you are too young), then uncheck the box.</p>
<p>Signing up for the draft is a requirement? What ever happened to freedom of choice?</p>
<p>
Yes, you are required to register with the selective service. If you want federal aid, you have to agree that it’s a two-way street. There is no such thing as a free lunch.</p>
<p>Your freedom of choice is still intact: You can either choose to register with the selective service and enjoy the perks, or you can choose to neglect to do so and face any consequences.</p>
<p>It’s simple.</p>
<p>Whatever happened to being informed…it’s not a DRAFT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Signing up for Selective Service IS signing up for the draft, when, and if, a draft is needed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who said you had “freedom of choice” when the country needs to be defended? That is your obligation to the Country for being a citizen. Oh, I suppose you have a choice to leave. Feel free.</p>
<p>
if if if</p>
<p>There is no draft.</p>
<p>There is freedom of choice. Sign up for selective service and be eligible for federal aid or don’t sign up and fund your own education. It’s a choice. Or did you mean you want the taxpayers to fund your education via aid and reduced interest loans while you don’t have to do anything in return…</p>
<p>I am already registered so this is a theoretical question.</p>
<p>What would happen with federal aid if you are a conscientious objector (like a Quaker) and have not registered (but have found away out legally) and you would normally receive money?</p>
<p>As a CO, you still have to register. There is alternative service for a CO.</p>
