11. If he wants financial aid for college, he will have to register for draft.

There's no way to get around it. CO status doesn't even enter into the picture, your son will still have to register for the draft, if he wants ANY Federal financial aid. Funny thing is, this is only for males. Females, at this point, do not have to register to be eligible for aid.

What you are doing will help keep the recruiters phone calls away, but the Fed Gov. has basically made it impossible for anyone who is not wealthy to avoid registering for the draft.
