During Veit Nam I had a student deferment. The war was still going on when I graduated and I had drawn a low number in the draft lottery so I was going to be drafted. I did not agree with the war, but I felt a loyalty to country. I enlisted in the reserves on a six year hitch. It was a way of avoiding the war as reserves were generally not being called up. It is very different for reserves today. I was very happy when my hitch was over.

Ohh yeah, I bet. Thanks for sharing that, man. I had thought Vietnam was more up your alley considering the age.
