    Hey Capt. - I know from an article read here on the Bernie site he was Army around 64-65 and did his two years. He was stationed in Georgia according to the article. Tim was in college at that time I believe. I am not sure when college deferments were stopped but it may have been about that time. I think anyone over something like 150 were safe from being drafted. Randy, Don. and Joe were over 150. Don H. had bad eyesight so that may have kept him out. When Glenn moved from Michigan to LA he would have received a new draft number. His second number may have been higher.

    I believe this could be the article; it's very interesting. https://news.google.com/newspapers?n...g=3834,4080190
