"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Some tell me it's absolutely mandatory to join, and I will be prosecuted if I dont.

Others tell me it's NOT mandatory, and will just prevent me from getting a job in the gov't, financial aid, and things like that.

So, is it against the law to not sign?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I guess you're talking about the military?

Its only mandatory if they institute a draft. They won't. But if they did, you'd be safe from it if you're going to college.

I wouldn't really worry about it.

No Someone is lying to you/

If you get federal grants for education you may have to register your name and address.

Are soldiers trying to enlist you?

And yes - there will be a draft soon

It is required that you register for Selective Service, but the way that law is enforced is the methods you mention; failure to get a government job, financial aid, etc. All men between the age of 18 and 25 are required to register.

The Selective Service Act is not enforced beyond that as far as I know, though that is subject to change.

If you're concerned about the draft, not registering with the selective service is unlikely to help you -- if you're of age, they'll find you one way or the other.

But not registering can make your life as a young guy pretty difficult as there are several important programs (college aid in particular) that you will be ineligible for if you fail to register.

Unless the general public is genuinely in strong support of a massive military campaign that would require a draft, I honestly don't believe that the US government has the ability to enforce a draft. Combine the fact that jails are overcrowded with the fact that public resources have been stretched thin from a lack of restrained government spending. Along with this, consider how quickly information (correct or not) spreads today, and I think an attempted draft would throw this country into a state of civil unrest it hasn't seen in many generations.

The cat's out of the bag with regard to the realities of war. Now that we're in the Information Age, there's no going back to the era where the citizenry was naïve to those realities. The government can no longer depend on people to stand behind it without a credible and universally accepted threat, since the general population understands that it's virtually impossible to physically or financially enforce an imposed draft order.

In other words, you have nothing to worry about with the SSA.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

There is not going to be a draft.

Must be another election coming up if those scare tactics are coming up again.

And the way the military operates nowadays, a draft would not be logical or productive.
