The normal process was that an under-graduate college student got an (almost) automatic 2S deferment, which has to be renewed each school year.

My sophomore year, the SS lost some paperwork and I had to go through the process all over again, since they sent me a new card with a 1A. When I present proof of enrollment, I went back to 2S.

So, unless there were medical conditions that would have made Mr. Kerry 4F, or some other considerations, he should have received 4 consecutive 2S deferments while he was an undergraduate.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. So VP Cheney's 5 deferments included the ususual 4 for college. I never hear the leftist press say anything about Kerry's 4 deferments...waiting...waiting...
