I recall the same thing, except where I was it was 1 of 3 went to the Marines in apr 68....I was in the enlistee group of 30 or so watching the every guy step back one step lottery.

When we look at our elected leadership these days, the number of those with any form of military service is now almost nil except for the dinoseurs.

When Clintoon beat two war vets, actually served in combat, Bush and Dole, I knew it was all over.

May 27, 1968. Ponce De Leon Avenue induction center, Atlanta, Georgia. It was “Count off! 1-2-3-4”.

When it was finished, “Congratulations! All you number 4s are Marines!”
