Trump himself has never served in the military. Selective Service
records obtained from the National Archives by
The Smoking Gun in 2011 reveal the following history of his draft eligibility:
1964:
Donald Trump became eligible for the draft on his 18th birthday (14 June 1964) and
registered with the Selective Service System 10 days later. He received the first of four 2-S (college) deferments on 28 July 1964.
1965:
Trump received his second college deferment on 14 December 1965.
1966:
Trump’s previous deferment expired and he was
reclassified 1-A (available for military service) on 22 November 1966. His 2-S deferment was renewed on 13 December.
1967:
No record.
1968:
Trump received his fourth and final college deferment on 16 January 1968. After graduating from Wharton, he was reclassified 1-A on 9 July 1968. Trump underwent an Armed Forces physical examination (with a result listed only as “DISQ”) on 19 September 1968 and was reclassified 1-Y (qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency) on 15 October 1968.
According to a
statement from the Trump campaign, the 1-Y classification stemmed from Trump’s having bone spurs in both heels:
