Oohrah! I had a draft card with a student deferment. I graduated college in 1968 with a commission in the Marine Corps. Did 13 months in RVN. And that guy who posted something about never being the same, he’s right. I was and still am much better for the experience.

Haha, same here. My draft number was 6 in 1970. I got 5 months delayed too when I signed up. I still almost went to Vietnam in ‘72 when the airwar started up again heavy.

I remember in 1968 most of us male students figured our days were numbered.
