Drafted on this date in 1973...the last draftee.
I also faced the draft...I was "1A", the most eligible rank... but decided to join instead, mostly because by joining you were able to select the job you would be performing during your military service, presuming you were qualified. On the other hand you were in service for three years instead of the two years draftees served.)
I chose journalism, which did NOT keep me from Vietnam. I ended up anchoring an evening newscast at AFVN Detachment 5 in Quang Tri, just south of the DMZ.
