Good Counselor

A good counselor must be
aware of the types of
classifications, and their
meanings, the basic operations
of the local board, the various
forms that the registrant is
required to fill out, the method
for obtaining a Conscientious
Objector's status or other
classifications, and the appeal
process if the desired
classification is not granted. He
must further be able to
illustrate to those who wish to
resist, the type of life they will
lead in prison if they decide to
stay in this country, and if
they wish to leave the United
States, the counselor can tell
them of the type of life they
will find in those countries
receiving draft dodgers.
