Yeah, it seems to be fewer and fewer each year.

When I graduated from high school, I was one of only 4 to join the military out of the 150 in my class.

My Father, like many others in those days, skipped his last semester of High School - he had enough credits to graduate - enlisted and went to Boot Camp - walked at his commencement wearing the uniform of a sailor in the U.S. Navy.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
