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.
You must have slipped through a crack. The 2 guys I know who graduated
from college in 68 where drafted before Christmas.
One went to VN, the other snagged a gig in Germany.
Well, I had the receipts from my "I've moved" letters to my local draft
board, and kept them for two decades. I complied with the regulation at
the time. I felt no need to investigate further.
I think I mentioned once before here that very few of the guys in my
high school graduating class were drafted. I attended a few high school
reunions and, at least at the early ones, we could account for pretty
much everyone.
