Military Service Posted Friday, July 23, 2010 08:18 AM The military part is kind of interesting. I got drafted a few months before we graduated. I think most of the males in our class spent the next several years in the military to trying actively to stay out of it. I had to join the reserves via ROTC in college to keep the Fort Worth draft board at bay. I thought the army thing was all over for me in 1974 when Viet Nam ended and Nixon quit. I went back to Wyoming thinking that I could get on with my life and not have to worry about any more military service. |

RE: Military Service Posted Sunday, August 8, 2010 03:52 PM I'm fascintated by the military. (probably because girls weren't widely accepted back then and we didn't consider that option) Traveling and being part of an American movement seems interesting. I do realize it's hard hard work passing the muster, getting fit for service. Private Benjamin would be my version of the military, I'm afeert!
