Another sky soldier! I was 1/504 back in 1971-73! I had an appointment to the Air Force Academy my senior year in high school but they rejected me because I was near-sighted. After high school I tried joining the Navy but they rejected me because I had a heart murmur. My draft lottery number was 8 and the Army didn't care about any health issues - if I could walk and breathe I was good!
