A.: You are liable for induction to age 26 or to age 35 if you are or have been deferred. In 1971 you will have a decreased vulnerability. However, if the calls for manpower in 1971 are so high that they cannot be met by the 1971 selection group the local boards will then select from the supply of manpower that might be left over from 1970. As each year goes by without your induction taking place you will have a decreasing vulnerability. Q.: Next February I will turn 19. Do I enter the lottery pool on that date? A.: No. You wont be included in the random selection sequence until 1971. The 1970 pool is limited to those born on or after January 1, 1944 and on or before December 31, 1950. Q.: Will there be any more drawings? A.: Yes. A new random sequence will be made for each calendar year for those registrants attaining the age of 19. Q.: My birthday in the lottery gave me. sequence number 325 next and I will be in Class count on not Can I year. being inducted in 1970?

When my local 1-- : A . board inducts me' will other local boards be inducting registrants with this same sequence number? A.: Not necessarily. It is expected that all local boards will be processing at about the same pace, but because local boards have varying percentages of their registrants in deferred status, and do not have the same number of registrants with the same birthdays, they may not be inducting at any one time all available registrants with a particular random sequence number. Q.: I have sequence number 250. If I want to volunteer for induction, will my local board wait until they reach sequence number 250 before they will accept me as a volunteer? A.: No. They may accept you as a volunteer prior to reaching your random sequence number in the induction processing. Q.: I am 19 years old and now deferred as a student.

If at the time you are classified in 1973 your local board has not reached sequence number 300 in their induction processing, you will simply be placed in that sequence and you may or may not be reached for induction in 1973. You will still have sequence number 300. If at the time you. are classified your local board has reached random sequence number 300 in 1973 you will be subject to induction at the head of the 1973 1973?
