My Father's Enlistment Record
I was digging around a federal government site for work purposes, when I saw some links to WWII material. It didn't take me long to find my father's enlistment record, from the Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, ca. 1938 - 1946 (Enlistment Records).
I was confused when I saw Rice listed as the "Residence County", but then I recalled he was in St. Olaf at the time (1943) - no college deferments at that time.
Term of Enlistment: "Enlistment for the duration of the War or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President or otherwise according to law. "
