 | | Coronado said that it is in this spirit the agency is reaching out to the U.S. education community to help raise awareness of the registration requirement and to support the agency’s new initiative, Selective Service Week – a series of school- and community-based awareness activities to be launched in the fall. | | | Washington, D.C. (May 17, 2000) – The Selective Service System today released its first-ever state-by-state analysis of registration compliance data, and announced a series of partnership efforts with the U.S. Department of Education and key education organizations to bolster on-time registration. | | | To reinforce the requirement, Congress has made Selective Service registration a requirement for obtaining a number of federal benefits, including student loans, job training, government jobs, and citizenship for male immigrants. |

| | The term "conscription" refers only to the mandatory service, thus those undergoing conscription are known as "conscripts" or "selectee" in the United States (from the Selective Service System or the Selective Service Initiative announced in 2004). | | | The options include officer of reserve training for two years offered in universities as a part of a program, or one year regular service. | | | Anyone objecting to military service for religious or ethical reasons could claim to be a conscientious objector, in which case community service was usually authorised as an alternative to the regular ten months of military service. |

| | The term "conscription" refers only to the mandatory service; thus, those undergoing conscription are known as "conscripts" or "selectee" in the United States (from the Selective Service System or the Selective Service Initiative announced in 2004). | | | In 2003 an amendment to the Constitution allowed the Parliament to mark the military service facultative and the conscription will end in January 2007. | | | Conscription is a general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority, but it is most often used in the specific sense of government policies that require (very often, male only) citizens to serve in their armed forces. |

| | Iraq crisis spurs call for US military draft |
| | While denying that they are even considering a revival of the draft, the Bush administration and the military have been conducting a low-profile recruitment campaign in recent months to staff the country’s Selective Service boards with more than 10,000 volunteers. | | | The current talk about reviving the draft represents the initial trial balloons, to be followed at some point by a media offensive aimed at depicting conscription as both a patriotic and democratic initiative. | | | If the draft were reinstated, these boards would have the authority to accept or reject appeals by young men seeking deferments from military service. |

| | DRAFT DISCUSSION |
| | Although a draft was then in place, the selective service system was riddled with loopholes that were often used by the affluent and well-connected to avoid serving. | | | Meanwhile, key elements of the many draft related issues are revealed daily by our government and our media so we are taking the initiative to compile this information for other concerned people to discuss with us. | | | Of course, a military draft is about more than random lotteries and military service. |

| | As a teacher in a girls selective school in the South-West of England, where the Connexions initiative has recently been launched, I am a member of the management team that is developing the work of the Connexions service in schools and colleges to support individuals in their learning. | | | She said: ATL would like to draw the attention of Congress to the importance of the Government's Connexions initiatives, and particularly the Connexions Card which is currently being trialled. | | | This is why we are calling for Congress to identify that Connexions is a priority area of work, and we are asking it to make a determined effort to ensure the success of the Connexions Card, thus reducing the waste of human potential in our future workforce. |
