    It’s a “draft” sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there’s no longer a draft it’s basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.

        I won’t say that won’t happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it’s 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.

        They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It’s easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.

      Voter registrations are what jury duty pulls from, not draft registration. There would be no women on juries otherwise
