Mine was 146 for 1970 and they went to 141 If I recall correctly. I was 1A at the time, took a pre-induction physical and proudly passed.
For a long time I used to think I missed out on a lot by not being drafted. The older I got, the more I learned about our involvement in the region/war, the more I began to realize I dodged a pretty big bullet by not having to go over there.
I know I had a lot of friends that went over there. My neighbor at the time got drafted and went. Ended up being a Sargent. His advice to me when he learned I might be going was to always try my hardest on all the tests, but don't let on to any 'friends' that I was doing so. He was kind of like the big brother I and my brother never had. We lost him six weeks after losing our dad, both to heart attacks. It was a rough year that year, but my son was born too and kind of evened things out.
