If a military draft was to be re-activated, we need to have all local boards across the state operational and ready to start hearing claims for military service reclassification (exemption/deferment) within 45-60 days. 

To serve a candidate: 

~  Must be 18 years old or older.

~  Must be a citizen of the United States.

~  If male, must have registered with Selective Service, except those born from March 29, 1957,   

     through December 31, 1959.

~  Must not be a member of law enforcement occupation as defined by Selective Service policy. 

     (example: police officer or judge)

~  Must not be an active or retired career member of the Armed Forces or Reserves or National 

     Guard.

~  Must not have been convicted of any criminal offense.

Board members serve until:

~  They decide to resign (health, job, or other reasons)

~  Move out of the county or state.  If they move to another county, we usually try to   

     transfer them to the new county even if there is already a primary board member

     assigned (it's nice to have backups that are already appointed and trained).

  ~ They reach 20 years of service and are retired.  There is no pension as this is a 

      voluntary position but there is a nice certificate signed by the Director of the Selective  

       Service.   

After a telephone interview with KSARNG Selective Service Officer, MAJ Matt Indermuehle, the recommendation would go to the Governor.  If approved by the Governor, the candidate would receive a federal appointment from the Director of Selective Service on behalf of the President of the United States.
