I enlisted at 17, so in effect, I dodged the draft.

Well, I did too, but I never thought of it that way, LOL, but I guess it's true!

I was a draft dodger!

I successfully dodged that draft for my entire 28 years.

= = = = = = = = = =
Mine was calculated..in 1956 figured why hang around ‘waiting’ a couple years to get drafted, just go into the Corps and get it over with.
I did end up in the Navy and on a 1959 Westpac Cruise my Mother had written the CO asking why the FBI were pounding on her door wondering why I hadn’t registered for the draft.

Made it ‘worse’ as I had a TS Clearance so there should have been some kind of ‘crossing the wires there’.
