my number would of been drafted but i would of enlisted before so. If my country called for my service I would go before they even called.

#25.

But i thought there was some rule against drafting an only child, no?

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

I understand this part completely.

#150

I would have proudly served my country.

Apparently if you had a parent or sibling killed in military service, you were exempted. But not if you were just an only child.

I would have gone.

167 and 1a

At least being in the Guards meant I would be in my chosen MOS instead of just being handed a rifle.

#196, so I wouldn't have been drafted.

I would have likely tried to join the Air Force but my vision, pre-LASIK, would have disqualified me from the Armed Forces, as it was 20/500 in one eye and 20/575 in the other. I had astigmatism as well (-4.25 and -3.75).

Since LASIK in 2007, it's 20/15.

Because that's what happens. :rolleyes:

91

No way in hell I would have gone.

I'm at work on a cell. I'll explain when I get to a real keyboard.

DEP is delayed entry program, and USNR is U.S. Naval Reserves. No clue on EOPD.

132. Not in college so looks like I would have went.

In real life I planned on going in the Air Force but had a child in high school so figured that probably wasn't my best move.

I joined the US Naval Reserve while in High School under the Delayed Entry Program. I went to Boot Camp for Summer vacation in between 11th and 12th grade. I went into active duty (training first) immediately after High School. My contract required that I serve a specific amount of active duty. I completed that requirement (actually got held over for a bit) before I turned 21 and was Honorably Discharged into reserve status because I had reached my End of Obligated Active Duty. A few years later I was also released from my reserve obligation. So, to answer the question posed in your OP, technically I was already discharged while 20 years old.

EOAD. End of Obligated Active Duty.
