I was in the 1969 draft lottery. I got number 59 or 60. I was drafted 4 months after Kent State

I was a young pup graduated in 1975 so the draft had ended. I still was required to sign up at that time. Think some of 1975 class mates didn't???
My card has a holding category number if recall correctly. I think I still have it stashed in old papers? Maybe with my high school diploma?

Mine was 19!

Mine was 184.

My mother forwarded my draft notice while I was in Basic Training at Paris Island. Senior DI thought it was funny. Don’t remember the number as it didn’t mean anything at that time. Lol

Was there an upper age limit for the draft?
Are there many members here who were drafted and fought in Vietnam?

The upper age limit for the 1969 draft was 25, which were men born in 1944.

I enlisted before the draft lotto, as I recall the waiting list for the coast guard was like 2-1/2 yrs long, Navy, Air Force was like 8-10 months.

I became eligible the last year numbers were drawn but then the draft ended before they used them to call anyone up. Don't remember what my number was.
