When he was called for service, he was declared underweight in the
medical exam, and initially rejected. He insisted that he be allowed in,
and his medical was overlooked. Therefore, the military considers him
legally as having been drafted. Because of his insistence in being
allowed to join in spite of his medical, I suppose one could consider
that he enlisted.


Stewart was called before the draft board in February 1941 but was rejected
because he was underweight. He went on a banana binge to add the necessary
weight and enlisted the following month.

He did not enlist. He appealed his rejection to the draft board, and
was accepted.
