No. When you are going through processing for the Military they do a complete health physical of you. You would not have qualified and would therefore be deferred for health reasons. I had a herniated disk in my neck several years before I enlisted and almost did not go through so I am quite confident a brain tumor would be excusable.

There is no draft! There hasn't been since 1973. The Liberals started some ignorant rumor the draft my be brought back! It simply isn't true!! Even if it was, you would probably get a health deferment anyways! If there was really a draft; you would still have to register; but that doesn't mean you would be accepted!

There is no draft, but you do have to fill out your selective service form.
If the draft gets reinstated and if they call people up, you would fail the exam, be classified 4F and released from any further consideration

You would have to sign up but they would not rank you high because of your health problems. The chances of you being drafted are small.

Still, you are down but not out as far as the selective service is concerned. It might be wise if you take along medical history when you sign up, I'm not sure who makes the determination of your qualification, but it wouldn't hurt if you alerted them to your conditions.

when you turned 18 you were supposed to go to the post office and sign up register. If course with your illness it is not very likely that you would get called up but you still are suppose to register anyway.

I believe every male has to sign up for the draft, even if he is not eligible to be drafted.

IF there is ever a draft, it wont matter what is wrong with you. If your tumor isnt bad,then you are in. Your feet wont matter. Your vision wont matter either; thats what they give you eye glasses.

You have to sign up, but in order for the government to draft you, they have to prove you physically fit.
