Six Months At A Time Deferment For Guard and Reserve
Secretary of Defense Johnson announced six month deferments for reservists and national guardsmen only when they hold a critical occupation or essential activity. The Labor and Commerce lists of 48 and 72 items guide, but not bind, military decisions. Selective service faces no change, while drafts aim for 100,000 in September and October. Members can apply for deferment if active duty has begun, and states receive draft quota credit for called guardsmen and reservists.
