I guess I was at least once...
I was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam war, completed basic training, then was sent directly to combat infantry training. Every company that preceded mine thru the training, down to the last man, was sent straight to Vietnam. Most of my company also went the same route, but a handful of us...me included...were assigned to stateside duty instead of being shipped overseas. So, instead of humping an M16 thru the jungle, I served out the rest of my 2 years working an office job in the 82nd Airborne division headquarters at Ft. Bragg, NC.
Lucky? I'll say it was! I've never depended on luck to pull me thru any situation ever again...I feel that I used up a lifetime's worth right then & there.
