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."

So you just stayed II-S until you were too old. That makes sense.
The lottery was in Dec 1969 so you missed it if you were born 1943 or
earlier.


I don't know if I "stayed" II-S. All I know is that while I kept my
draft board in New Haven apprised of my whereabouts, it never contacted
me. I can only assume if the board had something to tell me, it would
have reached out and mailed me a letter or a notice. It never did.
