I only remember one woman from high school; shortly after I enlisted I asked her to marry me, she said yes.
She Dear John’d me while I was at Khe Sahn.
I got 2 letters while in The Corps, the first was my Dear John, my second was from the Draft Board telling me to report for duty.
Life is truly WEIRD.

Good thing Carter pardoned the draft evaders, otherwise the powers that be would zero in on you. ;)

What's even weirder is that yours is not the only case I ever heard of where someone got a draft notice while on active duty in Viet Nam. What an f'd up mess ...
