Yes...and no. It's like this:
Actually I wasn't a 1, I never made it that far. I got drafted in 1969, five months before the lottery began, just as I was graduating from college. Although I got a draft notice, as I said in an earlier post I was accepted into the Air Force version of OCS on the Friday afternoon before I was to report for induction on Monday. The friendly AF recruiter failed to notify the Selective Service office of my enlistment, and when I didn't show up that Monday morning, they notified the county sheriff who paid me a visit. Lucky for me Barney Fife knew how to read my enlistment papers.
