About mid-way through Marine Boot camp in 1965, one of the members of my platoon received his draft notice in a distintive envelope. The D.I. had him open the envelope and read aloud it’s contents. We ALL paid a price for him “alledgely wanting to get out of the Marine Corps”. Looking back it was real funny.

During the late 50’s, six months after he went active duty, my father got a draft notice.
