If it is like 1XXXXXXX he enlisted. Hope this helps.... It's like that .. so I guess that means mom was right after all
I never knew the draft numbers were like that
Yes, one can tell a fair amount form the serial number...If it started with a 6 and was one number shorter the guy had enlisted before the draft ever started...If it was like the examples I gave before and started with a 2 he was National Guard....The second number in the 1,2 and 3 examples was the Corp Area he lived in...19XXXXXX was an enlistee from 9th Corp area. I use 9th Corp as an example since I was in the 9th Corp Area here in WA. State..Have no idea how things are now. So many have went into the services since then there is probably a whole other system in use now...
.....Westy....
