This picture is from 1969.I remember it well.

I remember it well myself.I read my number (327) in the Louisville Courier Journal as I sat on my foot locker at Fort Knox,KY having just completed my 3rd week of BCT.

I cried myself to sleep that night because the only reason I joined was because I assumed that I'd be drafted.

You could have volunteered for the draft, right?

Belkieve it or not, a good buddy of mine did the exact same thing as you while we were half-way through basic training at Ft. Polk.
