Did Congressman Steve King of Iowa receive a draft deferment from the Vietnam War?
Yes, he did. He received a total of three draft deferments: one on October 19th, 1967; one on December 12th, 1968, and one on November 17th, 1969. When the guy who is always ranting about communists, socialists, Marxists and leftists had a chance to fight communism in the jungles of South Vietnam, he chose to run away to Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Missouri. What a hero!
What was the length of enlistment during Vietnam War?
USAF, USN, USCG, normally wanted 3 o 4 yrs out of a man; the USMC & USA settled for a minimum of a 2 yr enlistment. Draftees did 2 yrs; USA or USMC. Men sent to Vietnam did 12 months...their trng was roughly 6 months, thus they did 18 months out of 24 months with a very good chance of an early out (if "Nam" time) at 18 months (instead of the full 24 months active duty). Bottom line: a drafted man did 24 months active duty; if he went to "Nam", he might only do 18 months active duty. Men could volunteer for 2 yrs. But they got what the army gave them (infantry!). If he volunteered for 3 or more yrs he got to choose his MOS school (he was not guaranteed the Job...ONLY THE SCHOOL). Another words, if a man chose tanks, then he was guaranteed tank school (armor school), after he graduated he could still be sent to the infantry, etc.

When drafted in the military was a low number or high number good?
During the draft lottery years, just before the draft was eliminated (1969-1972) the higher the number you drew in the lottery, the "safer" you were. Numbrs below 120 were considered "bad news". 120 to 240: you crossed your fingers. 240-366: you were considered to be "home free".
