DOLORES BRENNAN 653-9045 Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with appropriate answers. Your cooperation in printing or announcing these will be in the public interest. Q. Is it necessary for a registrant who has been discharged from the Armed Forces to carry a Registration Certificate? A. Yes. Within ten days of the date of separation, the registrant must request his local board to issue to him a duplicate Registration Certificate. This request can be made by a letter to his local board or on a Request for Duplicate Registration Certificate or Notice of Classification (SSS Form 6) which he may file with his own or any other local board. Q. Why can't a person work with the Peace Cdrps for two years and substitute that for his two years in the Army? A. Such substitution is not permissible under provisions of Section 23 of the Peace Corps Act which states: 'Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law or regulation, service in the Peace Corps as a volunteer shall not in any way exempt such volunteer from the performance of any obligations or duties under the provisions of the Universal Military Training and Service Act." Q. Articles about college student deferments often refer to an "academic year". Please define that term. A. An "academic year", which is considered in determining a registrant's eligibily ity* for deferment in Class IIS, is the 12-month period following the beginning of a registrant's course of study.
