  I want to say that mine arrived within a couple days of my birthday, but that was almost 2 decades ago and my memory is slipping a bit.

  Mine arrived 30 years ago, but I don't remember how close to my birthday it was.

  I registered to vote and registered with the selective service board on the same day a few days after my 18th birthday. Both were in the county courthouse, so it was a quick process.

  When do women get theirs, oh wait, they don't!  I forgot about the whole male privilege thing.  I wonder if this accounts for the higher wages too.

  I never got one because I pre-enrolled in the Army reserves at 17.
