...my number (for birthyear 1949) was 344...thus when my 2S deferment expired I was classified 1H, avaliable for service in an emergency...some, not many, but some, have questioned me for that...one can contend that military deferments are suspect, but those who are granted them are not to automatically be branded cowards...
