My number would have been called. That's cool, I wouldn't have gone.

 

[AmayaPapaya]

October 21, safe by 1 day.

I am October 20. Not safe by one day LOL. Funnily enough, it says I would've been safe had I been born 1 day earlier, as well...

I woulda ran to Canada, TBH.

[Turok_TTZ]

I got drafted. 2 days away from not being drafted.

Jokes on them. I would have made sure me and my men were involved in Vietnam. As a security contractor/pmc, Vietnam would have been easy yet outrageous money for me.

No way I'd miss out on that slice of the cold war pie.

 

[VariantX]

One fucking day. Fuck.

 

[acheron_xl]

Looks like my conscientious objector card didn't need to come into play, as my number wasn't called.

 

[QuantumSquid]

Missed by 1 day, holy shit.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I would have been drafted, but saved if I was born one day earlier

[TwntyOneTwlv]

133

Got drafted

Felt a surge of fear, anger, and resentment, even though it's just a fucking website

weird

 

[MegaManTrigger]

My number would've been called, missed it by being born 3 days late.

EDIT: And then I realized I'm Canadian, so idk what difference this makes.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Put in some of my friends and my brother's birthday...all drafted. Me, missed out. That's a damn moral dilemma, I think I would've enlisted if that played out.

 

[Randam]

they really had a draft lottery??

I have always been lucky I guessed.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Got drafted. 2 days away from avoiding it.

I wonder what it was like for people back then to never know if they were about to be shipped off to boot camp. Must have been nerve-racking.

If we ever need to use the draft again, I'm probably just gonna willingly join so I can at least pick what I want to do.

 

[Soule]

Both my brother and I had our numbers drafted. Heh.
