A "Military" event is not 100 percent accurate, since not everyone who filled out/completed the registration card actually served in the Military.
It however, is still a great source for finding birth date and location on some, resident, occupation, physical description, and nearest relative info. Everyone has their own way of using the WWI draft registration info. I use "WWI Draft Registration" as a master source and use the "Details" to enter date and location the registration was completed.
