here it is.
Wasn’t there still a draft in ‘69? Wouldn’t being an Indonesian student have saved him from a draft? Seems to me that I read there was something odd about his draft registration.
Yes I forgot about that.
His draft registration has changes on it that are not supposed to be there, that try to show he registered in ‘80 rather than ‘08
by adding a zero in front of the long number at the top right corner.
But making the number one digit too long.
Or so I read and saw.
FReepers???
Then
more properly
His “Selective Service” registration (often called “draft registration”) has changes on it that are not supposed to be there, that try to show he registered in year ‘80 rather than ‘08,
by adding a zero in front of the long number at the top right corner.
But now making the number one digit too long.
Saying you are Indonesian nationality in 1979 would indeed mean you don’t have to register for SS (nice in case of any future wars)
and the speculation is therefore he did not.
But in 2008 (also known as ‘08 for government coding of numbers) someone added his registration for the first time;
but to hide the fact that it was done in 2008 (or ‘08) the number 0 was added in front to get the starting number of 080-XXXXXXXX;
This is why someone went into the documents to add the extra ZERO in front of his SS registration number,
but they did not realize that the number would now be one digit too long
or so I read
a bit like saying your father’s race is “African” in 1961 ...
here it is.
