I had already enlisted before most people even knew where Vietnam was.
After all it was a place where LBJ had just said we would never send
"American boys". Dodging the draft was not really much of an issue
because few actually got drafted and if you did, the worst thing that
would happen is you would be sent to New Jersey.
When was this?
64-65
Well guess what, I got drafted in '65 and they didn't send my sorry ass to New
Jersey. I went to Leonard Wood.
It depends where you were when you got drafted, or where your home was. I was working
at Cape Canaveral, but requested, and got, induction in Kansas City. My home was in
Sedalia, MO, at the time.
