Best Answer

Choose a branch of the military (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force) and talk to a recruiter. You may be able to go to a military academy, or go through ROTC in a regular college or university, or sign up right out of high school. The recruiter can advise you as to the best path to follow.

During the Vietnam War, and Korea, WWII and WWI and the American Civil War 1861-1865, all able bodied men had to register for the draft. There is a lottery system were months and days are selected and based on those dates, men were assigned a draft number. When their number was selected, they received a letter telling them to report for induction into the US Military.

Another word for draft is conscription. Individuals have no choice, it was the military or prison. This was the primary reason for protesting the war, and draft card burning & riots, during Vietnam.

After 1972, the American draft ended and no one has been drafted since then. All people who join the US military join voluntarily.
