I was a draft board member in the late 1980’s and 1990’s. We were **this** close to drafting physicians during Desert Storm.
That is a little known fact. My dad was a retired doctor. He was a hospital commander during the latter part of his 33 years in the Air Force. Finished up commanding Wilford Hall at Lackland as a one star. He got a call from Washington during the build up to Desert Storm. He was in his seventies but they were planning to bring him back in to coordinate the call up and drafting of doctors.
