When I graduated high school in 1969 I was a prime target for the draft but I went to a trade school for 11 months so that stalled it off. While in trade school the draft lottery came to be and my birthday wasn't chosen so I got out of being drafted. I don't know if I would have passed the physical because of my back but nevertheless I never served.
My dad graduated from high school in 1942, prime time for WW2. He flunked the physical because he had a broken ankle that didn't knit right and he had acne pretty bad.

He was issued a 30-40 Krag that he had hanging up in a back room in his dental office, along with boxes of metal jacket shells in case he needed it. I shot that thing a few times but it was a heavy lunker that kicked like a mule.
