My Birthdate was number 207 in the Draft Lottery.
Two people I knew were numbers 1 and 3. They both joined the Air Force within weeks.

My older Brother was classified 4-F due to Asthma.
Unfortunately, that classification cost him Job opportunities in the Commercial Aviation Industry as an A&P Mechanic.
