Please no reponses how it's my duty as a US
citizen, heh, I've wanted to leave this country for years now (can't
convince dh)

Well, then I guess I can't comment...seriously though, you get the summons
very far in advance. I cannot imagine that a person can't find ANY
childcare
in the time that passes when you receive the summons to the time that the
date comes up.

That's good to know. For some reason, I was under the impression that I'd
get a summons and then have to start the next week. If I had to, I could
have my mom come up for a few days and hopefully that would be enough time
otherwise, my husband would probably have to take personal time off work.


Here in CT you can delay your duty once for one whole year. That's pretty
generous, IMO. Also, a good amount of people do get dismissed just over
the
phone and that counts as your duty. I know I delayed mine for a year then
"served" by being dismissed over the phone the day before.

Well I have a few medical issues which I've heard can also cause a dismissal
since one is anxiety related. If that isn't enough, in combination with the
SAHM w/no childcare then I suppose I will have to figure out. I highly doubt
I'll get chosen because, as noted in the first post, I dont hold much regard
for our government and the judicial system. Im sure that will come across if
I make it that far.
