I saw on your profile that you were drafted and that your dates of service spanned 3yrs.. Was this the required legnth of service for draftees? Were you in the Army? Was that the only branch taking draftees? How long is an enlistment? What was your MOS [job title]?

Our draftees did a 2yr. hitch. Most went to the Army, but some were given to the Marines. I don't know the ratio on this, but I think it was comparatively small. An Army enlistment [me] was for 3yrs.. The other branches, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard were all 4yr. enlistments. My MOS was 11B2P, infantryman/paratrooper.
