Got any proof of this crap? I got into the guard, and there was no
waiting list.



Where?

I'm not disagreeing with either of you but each state has NG units and it is
very likely some had waiting lists and others did not. It would certainly be
in character for LBJ to have the draft quota lowered in selected states and
with less threat from the draft board there'd be fewer eager to join the NG.
