There's one other exception to the
Today rule. If your local board is
convinced that you didn't under

know about the Today rule, or if ii
decides that through circumstances
beyond your control you could not
appeal within the Today limit, then
it can hear your appeal at any time
You're not the only person who
can appeal from your classification
Any person who claims to be your
dependent can appeal in your be-
half (or his, for that NATTER, be-
cause they would suffer if you were
drafted.
So can any person who files q
written request for your occupa-
tional deferment before you are
classified. That, of course, would
be your employer.
Thus, if your employer asks for
your OccupatlOudl QeIermenC ana II
is turned down, he can appeal with
in 10 days.
Nobody can appeal against de
termination of the registrant's phys

and are okayed, you 60 to your local
board and say, But I've got bad

There is good deal more to say
about appeals. For instance, every
