No, not even close. I was at home recuperating from a week's hospital stay. And missing four weeks of my Junior year in high school. Getting ready for my Senior year.

How long was that from when you got drafted? Right after high school?

I imagine that must have been a serious drag. You don't have much of a choice then, unless you're parents were wealthy, and you're in college, or you'd become a fugitive, and go to Canada.

I was two years into my life when the letter from Richard Nixon showed up. That's what really made the whole drat thing so lousy.

I'm sure it changed your life forever. I don't think anyone who's gone through that, even without being wounded whatsoever would ever be the same after something like that. I wonder how many of those people who were at Woodstock wound up going over there? I'm sure quite a few did, since they were of that age. That's something I've never heard about being mentioned before.

Yeah, but I'm sure some of them did, with that many people that were there. By the way, did they draft women, as well? I know they did serve over there, especially with the medical stuff, but I've never heard anything about that.

Women have never been drafted. There were women nurses, and some women doctors. If they were in any other capacity of work endeavors, I wasn't aware of it where I was located. I imagine they were working in the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. And of course clerical duties in the military HQ's.

When I read that book with personal stories of people that were there, there were a couple of women that we interviewed that were combat nurses. One of them was talking about stuffing her flak jacket with tampons, so she'd have them when need, or something like that. They might not have been in direct combat, but they certainly saw and dealt with the results of that, that's for sure.

Yes they did. They were really close to the action.

I imagine so. How was that even situated? They had MASH units (I'm guessing that they were called) within the bases, or was that a separate thing that they flew to with the helicopters?

Luckily, you never had to find out like they did.

You know that's right. A lot of them didn't know they were being flown out. You can't see anything in a body bag.
