OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON LOCAL REVIEW BOARD
The Selective Service System (SSS) is seeking Lynwood residents
to serve as Local Board Members (LBMs).
In the event of mobilization - preparation for war - SSS boards
will provide young men with the forum to present claims for
exemption from, or delay of, military service obligations.
LBMs receive 12 hours of initial training shortly after
appointment. Thereafter, members receive 4 hours of refresher
training once a year. The training prepares appointees for local
board operations during mobilization.
The local board must be staffed by individuals actually residing
in the board's area of jurisdiction. To be eligible for
consideration, the LBM applicant must reside the 90262 zip code
zone.
Board membership is an important community service. LBMs are
appointed by the Director of the SSS in the name of the
President. We are looking for persons interested in the military
readiness of our country, and the rights of young men residing in
their community.
If you are interested in an LBM position, please contact LCDR
Markovich at the number or address given above.
