-You are not exempt from military service simply because you are an only child or an only son. You are exempt only if one of your siblings or parents (mothers are now included as well) has died as a result of military service.
-You do not have to be a sole remaining son to meet this requirement - the exemption applies to all remaining sons from qualified families.
-This exemption is not in effect during wartime.
