[AT] OT Draft Exemption Exam was Massey Ferguson Edgewood Maryland

[Mark Johnson]

Never heard of a draft exemption exam - if it was a matter of college 
grades earning a deferment, my dad would have had it - graduated "with 
distinction" from Purdue (GPA >= 5.5/6.0 at the time). I suspect he was 
targeted because they were looking for engineering grads - which is 
supported by that offer of a commission right out of engineers' advanced 
basic training.

The old man was lots smarter than I ever hope to be...I miss him.
