Query: Cheney's draft board classification?

[eppur_se_muova]

I'm not quite old enough to remember the details of the scheme by which the Draft Board sorted people (OK, men) into categories reflecting their suitability for military service and/or their eligibility for deferment. There was some kind of short code -- a number and a letter, like a shoe size, IIRC -- can anyone pont me to that, or to what Cheney's classification was?

I wanted to start calling him DDDDDick -- with five D's for five deferments -- or "five-D" Dick, but it occured to me that 5D could be a draft category.

(If you've seen Annie Hall, you might remember a Woody Allen joke:"I'm 4H. In the event of hostilities, I'm a hostage." BOMR)

1. He got college deferments and then some sort of deferment for having kids.

That's the reason he married Lynn and got her pregnant ASAP. He wanted to do whatever he could to stay out of the service.
Cowardly bastard. :grr:

2. probably II-S (Student) and then III-A (registrant with child)
