There was one occasion in my life where Selective Service registration mattered. I applied for a 911 operator job for a large urban county and it was a question on one of the many stacks of application paperwork. It was on a questionnaire with others like have you ever used marijuana, have you ever lied to your parents, how many traffic tickets have you received. Most of a year later, after a detailed background investigation that included questioning old friends and people in the neighborhood, they offered me the job. Can't prove it, but I got the feeling they wouldn't have unless I had registered for the draft, denied smoking pot, etc. The registration record was used as a test for lawfulness by that law enforcement agency. Ladies, you might want to keep that in mind if you think you might ever want a government job or a security clearance. Your choice will be remembered.
