draft dodging
Well, this is it. 2 hours and 20 minutes ago was the end of the business day in Washington DC. And with the close of business comes the greatest thing about turning 26 that one could hope for. As of 2 hours and 20 minutes ago, I am now ineligible for the United States Selective Service.
That is to say that I can no longer be drafted. Whoo! It's not that I don't respect military service or respect the men and women who made and protected the greatness of this nation. It's just that, if I serve my country, I'd like for it to be my decision. That's probably all I should say here before I get into trouble with either side.
So yeah, according to Greenwich Observatory, it's my birthday now. Last year was the year of the quarter-century. This year it's the year I no longer have to worry about being drafted. I think, to be fair, I liked last year's celebration theme better.
More when I wake up. I'm tired.
