I am not sure what skill would really ensure your safety. College
education certainly wouldn't help much. That is where those second
louies came from. I had an electronic education and I got snagged by
the Navy and later the Coast Guard... pretty safe.
If I got snagged by the air force or army ... not so much. I could
have just as easily been in a B-52 over Hanoi or carrying a backpack
radio in the tall grass.

I am curious. How did you get "snagged" by the Navy? To my knowledge the
Army was the only service that was drafting anybody.
