Major Thomas M. NIas outlines draft expectations and GI Bill details. The Army anticipates about 30,000 draftees monthly while the Air Force Navy and Marines rely on voluntary enlistments. The maximum draft total is 606,222 though not guaranteed. Army authorized strength is 837,000 with about 550,000 today. Draft start is likely soon after October 1, and GI Bill benefits are not yet definite but re employment rights apply. A 19-year-old may defer finishing school if he completes before turning 20 and maintains grades. Flight training eligibility under GI Bill depends on case merits as per VA. Basic training for new draftees is about eight weeks, potentially extending to 13 weeks as needed.
