This may be way late, but I believe there are a number of federal benefits (employment within, mostly), and perhaps student loans, that are not available if you failed to register. And you can't go back and fix it after you turn 25 (or whatever the cutoff age is).
BRC (I think): Registering for the draft is independent of the draft itself. You have to register at 18 if male, just so they have a list of names if an actual draft needs to be held.
