Default The Draft

The first time I was in I joined. The second time I was recalled to active duty (same as drafted) due to having a critical MOS. I thought I had no worries about any more service after I got out the first time so I waited until I had a good job and got married but still got recalled. I was'nt the only one! Other guy's that already had kids also got recalled so I couldn't't feel to sorry for myself.
The bottom line is; the same guy's I waved good by to the first time, I waved good by to the second time and we had a draft back then, but it was tainted with local politics all the way up to state and federal politics. If we have another draft I hope that if you are a reservist or national guard you are first on the draft list and taking 15 hrs of basket weaving and drama courses in college don't exempt you.
