Do you remember the draft? Did you have a draft number?

I was drafted in 1967 before there were numbers. People told me to join the reserves or guard or I would go to Vietnam. I opted for shortest commitment which was two years as draftee. MOS was 11bravo and Vietnam was my assignment.
Cut time to 21 months with early out to go to college. Would do it again.

68

My draft # was107

SGM (Join to see), the draft lottery that most were concerned about was held on 1DEC69, for use during calendar year 1970. It was for all men born from 1944 to 1950. When my number was called (332), I had already been Fort Jackson since 28OCT69. The Selective Service only used up to number 195 that year, so had I not enlisted, I would have never even had to serve!
The last drawing was held on 12MAR75 for use in 1976 and was for birth year 1956.
Here's a link to the Vietnam era lotteries so you can find your number!
