Kerry petitioned his draft board for a student deferrment. When Kerry approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy. The Navy and Coast Guard were considered good choices for reluctant young men who figured they were doomed to be drafted. Sailors could get into combat, but the risk of being assinged to combat duty was less likely because NVA and VC didn't have battleships, submarines or aircraft carriers.
