[HotHunt]

I was 21 year old and had just graduated from university. I was preparing to get up the next morning for my scheduled military draft physical.

Nixon declared a national holiday for July 21st because of the moon walk and my physical was postponed.

That gave me enough time to go join the Air Force instead of being drafted into the Army.

Best decision I ever made. It altered my life immensely because I met my wife of 45 years in the Air Force on my first assignment and we are still together.

I remember the day well. One of a few I have remembered vividly my entire 71 years.

Great story.

Vivid, profound and concise.

Funny how good things can happen for some of us isn’t it?
