July 1 Registrants Must Answer Ten Questions

July 1 registrants for possible military training under the Selective Service Act will answer ten questions. Director Charles H. Grahl said the process prioritizes rapid registration with time to answer each query. No questionnaires are filled on site and no physical exams occur at registration. After a lottery assigns order numbers, documents are mailed. exams occur later if classified eligible. The four by six card collects name, residence, mailing address, phone, age, birth place, occupation, employer, and work location. A signed certificate must be carried at all times, and failure to present it constitutes prima facie evidence of failing to register.
