Do you have anything that you can point me to that verifies Kerry seeking a deferment and then entering the USNR? I would LOVE to have that on hand to shove in my Dem brother's face. Unfortunately, while I have heard this repeatedly, I haven't found anything yet to back up this claim. Thanks.

P. 198 "Unfit For Command"

February 18, 1966: Kerry enlists in the U.S. Naval Reserves, status inactive" after request for deferment is denied."

Sorry, quotation marks got misplaced:

"February 18, 1966: Kerry enlists in the U.S. Naval Reserves, status 'inactive' after request for deferment is denied."

Deferment?

Hey, you better believe anyone who enlisted, or was drafted, but had previously attended college for more than one semester had a student deferment.

They handed out undergraduate student deferments like crackers and cheese at a sorority social.

'twarn't no big thing!~
