These citizen-volunteers who serve without pay <br />would consider the deferment ar~ exemption requests of thc~e young men who <br />would be ordered for military service in a national emergency. At the <br />present time, there is no dr~f~c and the only requirement of these standby <br />boaud members is to attend a 12-hour initial training class and a <br />continuation training meeting with other members of their board once a <br />year. Membel~s are nominated by the Governor and appointed by the <br />President. <br /> <br /> We continue to need dedicated citizens to serve as "hack-up" members <br />who would be eligible for appointment as Local Board Member~ as vacancies <br />oocur. To qualify, potential members must be: <br /> <br /> 1. a citizen of the United States; <br /> 2. at least 18 years of age; <br /> 3. a resident of the area in which the local board has jurisdiction; <br /> 4. able to devote sufficient time to accomplish board member duties; <br /> <br /> 5. willing to fairly and uniformly apply the Selective Service <br />and regulations. <br /> <br /> If you know of leading citizens in your county who may have an <br />interest in serving on standby Selective Service local boards, please <br />submit their names, addresses and telephone numbers, plus any specific <br />information, sud] as occupation or community involvement which you wish to <br />mention, to the Region II Headquarters,, Selective Service System, 805 <br />Walker Street, Marietta, Georgia 30060-2731.
