The Selective Service Local Board is seeking board members from the area. Director of the national Selective Service System Lawrence G. Romo has made it clear that, “although a military draft has not been required in recent times and its need in the foreseeable future is not anticipated, our nationally elected leadership, together with the national security community, desire that Selective Service continue registration of young men, a core responsibility; enhance operational readiness in changing times; and employ evolving technological advancements in the way we do business. This has been accomplished,” states Romo. Those interested in serving as local board member will be among those that decide who among the registrants in the community will be given deferments, postponements, or exemption from military service.
