I would have been over 200 but by then I was 13 months from being
discharged from a 6 year enlistment.


There was a local kid who inlisted and served a tourthen was duly
discharged. 4 months later he got a draft notice. LOL



I'm sure I would remember my lottery number if whatever number I had
resulted in me being called in for that pre-induction physical. I don't
even remember getting a number. I assume you found out from a letter
sent by either a federal agency or the local draft board. I think I
remember getting a letter my senior year of high school that said I had
to register for the draft but I never received any communication once my
draft status was 2-S, so I never had to get a friendly doctor write a
letter for me that claimed I was suffering from "bone spurs."



I must have joined about same time as Greg as I was through with my 6 year
obligation in February 1971. So lottery number meant nada.
