Anecdotes
Bill Clearihue states that "He was an original UNTD 1943, having transferred over from at least one and probably more, years in the COTC. As COTC and/or UNTD was compulsory in those years, so was call-up into Active Service for the 1944 and 1945 Grads, who had to sit Selective Service Boards, which determined if and in what Service they would be attested into."
