I-W service

 Subject
Subject Source: Local sources
Scope Note: Beginning in 1952, conscientious objectors to the draft in the US would claim I-0 status; if they were drafted, they would enter I-W service, which included a number of alternative service programs, mostly with low-level jobs in health facilities. Note that I-W is "one-w"; the I represents the Roman numeral 1, not the letter I.
