Draft Policy Puts Spotty Deferment Power On Boards
A Washington report explains that only 19 to 25 year olds are draft eligible with 18 year olds required to register. Local boards decide deferments based on whether a job is essential to national health and safety and thus may defer. Boards have wide discretion while the armed services rely on critical-occupation lists for reserves and National Guard. Students may finish the academic year if drafted, and a high school student may stay until graduation or until age 20 or until satisfactory work ends.
