re: My dad told me about getting drafted in the army

I remember being sworn-in to the All-Volunteer Army 6 months prior to my high school graduation. The draft had just ended a few months before. Troops were returning from Vietnam and I had turned 17 years old 3 months before.
I was skeptical about how the military would be with only a volunteer force shortly after a terrible war that took so many young men and women from their families. I found out quickly that our military hadn't skipped a beat. Proud to have served with my brothers in arms and proud of the ones who serve today.
