snowyday Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Who are those people who are cheering, asked the draftee, as the soldiers marched to the train. Those, replied the veteran, are the people who are not going. Snowyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INS/Dopplertroop Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Brings a true story to mind. Oct 1968 Pittsburgh PA Induction Center. Got off the train at 0630. Spent the day with a room full of guys filling out forms, taking tests, being interviewed, getting a "turn your head and cough" physical. About 1500-1600 hrs a MSgt comes in the room and barks at all the new Air Force recruits to file out onto the buses to the airport. When asked why the other guys were staying behind he answered that they were Army and Marine draftees and they would be spending the night scrubbing and waxing the floor we used all day before they shipped out.
