Young Man’s Civic Duty (NAPSA)—Manybelieve that part of being an adult is doing your civic duty. For some, this involves volunteering, paying taxes or serving on a jury. For young men, it includes registering with the Selective Service when they turn 18. The law requires virtually all male U.S. citizens and immigrants to register with the Selective Service System. To be in full compliance with the law, men turning 18 are required to register during the period of time beginning 30 days before until 30 days after their 18th birthday. 5 fi as Photo by: Craig R.
