The rules and deferments that applied to the old pre-1973 draft wouldn't necessarily apply now. They would have to be specified in the new draft law.
IF it ever passes (which I don't think it will), ask your question then.

In 1980, Congress re-instated the requirement that young men register with the Selective Service System. Currently, male U.S. citizens and many male aliens living in the U.S., if age 18 through 25, are required to register with the Selective Service System, which describes its mission as "...to serve the emergency manpower needs of the Military by conscripting untrained manpower, or personnel with professional health care skills, if directed by Congress and the President in a national crisis."
No one has been prosecuted for failure to comply with draft registration since 1986, in part because prosecutions of draft resisters proved counter-productive for the government, and in part because of the difficulty of proving that noncompliance with the law was "knowing and willful". Many people don't register at all, register late, or change addresses without notifying the Selective Service System

I don't think a draft is in effect, but I know that Congressman Rangel (D-NY) is in favor of one.
If that were the case, all able bodied, not well connected men aged 18 to 26 would be required to serve in the military. Those not able bodied would be required to serve the country in another manner, such as civil service.

1.) Congress and the President authorize a draft, 2) The Lottery, 3) All parts of selective service are activated, 4) physical, mental, and moral evaluation of registrants, 5) Local and appeal boards activated and induction notices sent, and 6) First draftees are inducted.
The first to be called based on the lottery seems to be "men whose 20th birthday falls during that year" a crisis occurs.

Between the ages of 18-26 and healthy I guess. They'll do tests and stuff to see if you're in good enough shape to be drafted.

you must not be gay, at least 18 years old, and born in the united States. don't worry, even bush will be smart enough to pull out of Iraq before the draft is instituted.

None, because there will be no draft. Plain and simple.
