At this time, they should inform their draft board of anything about themselves that will help determine whether they are classified 1-A (available for military service) or in one of sixteen other classifications of men considered available for service. The registrant will then be mailed a notice of classification. Each year the selective service system in Washington, D.C., conducts a lottery that will determine each student's lottery number. This number along with information the registrant provided the draft board will help determine when and if he will be drafted.
