Most of the younger people don't realize how lucky they are.... We have the NFL football draft,, we have the NBA draft,,, When I was growing up the "Draft" meant you were probably going to wind up in the jungle...So be grateful to the people serving this country so you don't have to. Myself I'm ex U.S. Navy 1963-1966. Tkae care

It never ceases to amaze me how a difference in eras influences mindsets
In 1972 when I became draft eligible there was a draft lottery to see who went to basic and then off straight to 'nam
my # came up in high 300's --- a HS friends # was 18 -- his age --- he never came home --
jus sayin'
