Original Note:
President Jimmy Carter reinstated the requirement for 18-year-old males to register in 1980 in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Since then, males are required to register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. It has been this way since. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_Service_System#:~:text=On%202%20July%201980%2C%20President,26%2Dyear%2Dold%20male%20citizens
