[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1221746, member: 17767"] GB, you are also a 1950. I remember you telling me that in a PM. What was your lottery number? You were in the same group I was. Our numbers were picked on December 1, 1969 but drafting by those numbers did not begin immediately. I remember meeting with my ROTC advisor, Captain Phinney from Georgia. He looked at my transcript of course work and grades for my Freshman and Sophomore years. Looked at me and said something like, "Get your azz out of here." He had been on two tours of Viet Nam and was very candid - did not romanticize or glorify that conflict. He was candid and told me personally, to avoid it with every effort I had. Because my number was 307, I finished my mandatory two years of ROTC and dropped it. I never had to apply for a college deferment after getting such a high number. They drafted as high as 195 so I was still a long ways off from being pulled. [/QUOTE]
