He did, however, have to register for the draft, but after a few months he decided he'd go into the Navy instead of perhaps later being drafted into the Army if the Gov't. decided to change the deferment. I think all the men called up thru the draft went into the Army and he wanted the Navy so enlisted. juanita > Allan & Theresa, It may be a matter of terminology.
