Draft in a Nutshell outlines selective service details
The Senate bill would require men 18 to 25 to register while 19 to 25 face a two year draft. 18 year olds could volunteer for a year to avoid the longer service. Married men and dependents would have protections, while National Guard and reserve units and most veterans would be affected. High school students in good standing could defer until graduation or age 20, and college students defer until the end of the college year. Draftees would have job restoration rights like veterans.
