We showed up at the recruiter and stuck our neck out. You were still
hiding behind your 2-S thinking, service for your country was for
suckers. Thanks for pitching in.


My student classification ended when I got my B.A., and though I
informed it of my whereabouts, I never got a "you've been reclassified,
report for a pre-induction physical" letter. I saw no reason to support
The Vietnamese were no threat
to the United States, and no matter what happened, they weren't going to
be parachuting troops into Topeka.


Neither are the Syrians

Had I been drafted, I would have reported as ordered.


What did you get classified as after your 2-S went away and why did
it? I thought you went to grad school.


Not immediately. I worked at the newspaper for at least a year and a
half before I snared a fellowship. As I said, I simply never heard from
my draft board again, even though I was careful to inform it of my
changes in address via certified or registered mail. That is all the law
required.
