Currently there isn't a draft. But 18 or after high school is the age they like to use. Don't worry about it, someone else will go in your place and let you stay home free to do what you want to do. Besure to thank them.

A draft held today would use a lottery to determine the order of call.
Before the lottery was implemented in the latter part of the Vietnam conflict, Local Boards called men classified 1-A, 18 1/2 through 25 years old, oldest first. This resulted in uncertainty for the potential draftees during the entire time they were within the draft-eligible age group. A draft held today would use a lottery system under which a man would spend only one year in first priority for the draft - either the calendar year he turned 20 or the year his deferment ended. Each year after that, he would be placed in a succeedingly lower priority group and his liability for the draft would lessen accordingly. In this way, he would be spared the uncertainty of waiting until his 26th birthday to be certain he would not be drafted

The old draft ages were 18-25 but their was a proposal to extend this to 34. I doubt this will happen it would be total political suicide for the congress to pass such legislation as there is no popular support for this measure.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A DRAFT!!!!!
Sorry to scream, but this is the zillionth post about a draft that isn't going to happen.
And for those who think it's "because it would be political suicide," WRONG! It's because a conscript army and a professional army don't work the same way, and the army we have has no use for draftees. They don't want a draft, so nobody but Rangell will ever think about it. The political equation won't even come up.

We dont have the draft anymore, but I think it was 18 for the Vietnam war.

There is no draft, nor is there any legislation on the table with any chance of passage. Therefore there is no draft age.
