when must all men register for selective service
During WW2, the local government formed a Draft Board who selected young men for military duty. They went through a selection process and sent out a "Draft Letter" informing them to report to for duty. In the 1960's and even today, a young man who reaches the age of 18 must register for Selective Service and he would be sent a Draft Card. When and if he was required for military service, he would be contacted and it could be with a letter.
The act that requires men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for the draft is the Military Selective Service Act. This legislation establishes the framework for the selective service system in the United States, mandating that eligible males register for potential conscription into military service. Although the draft has not been active since 1973, registration remains a legal requirement for those within the specified age group.

In October 1940, approximately 1.4 million men were registered for the draft in the United States under the Selective Training and Service Act, which was the first peacetime draft in U.S. history. The act required all men aged 21 to 36 to register for military service. This registration was part of the U.S. government's efforts to prepare for potential involvement in World War II.
