(my heart flutters as a mother...)
But it means males age 18-25 will be automatically registered for selective service (instead of voluntarily doing so w/ consequences if they don't).

The National Defense Authorization Act last December quietly mandated the change. Now the Selective Service System proposes a rule to go into effect this December to comply w/ the mandate.
