I was two years ahead of some you. Was living on Cape Cod, Mass. in 1968. Had blown my first year of college and lost my 2-S deferrment, so I was 1-A. This was before the lottery and they were drafting every thing that walked. My main objective was to avoid getting shot at, so I went to the Navy recruiter and signed up for 4 years--the shortest term I could get. It was boring, but except for a couple months on a carrier off the coast of 'Nam I managed to avoid any "excitement." But it paid for college afterwards and I got to see some interesting places.
Spent two of those years in Meridian, MS at the naval air station and had a part time gig as a gopher at the local VW-Porsche/Audi-Mercedes dealer. Mostly did dealer swaps with cars. Getting paid to drive around was not a bad thing.
