Reply #2: my recollection - each draft board had its own way of doing things [View All]

I remember reading/hearing that arguments that worked in one town/state often didn't work in another.

Also, each state had a certain quota. Sometimes they had difficulty filling it, so they were much stricter for a while.

My ex was from Utah and in 67/68 (when grad student deferments stopped) had some real problems. So many Mormons on missions and exempt from the draft!
