Thanks! It did work out well for him. Since his home port was San Diego, he qualified as a CA resident and qualified for their tuition free education. That along with the G.I Bill got him through college and he is about to retire as a civil engineer from Sacramento.

Being opposed to our war in Vietnam, and a member of the Church of the Brethren, I applied for and received my CO status which required 2 years of alternative service.

Right after I got my CO status my draft lottery number came in the mail. I had a very high number which meant I would not be drafted, but I decided to go ahead with my plans to to join Brethren Volunteer Service (similar to the Peace Corp and Vista) where I worked in a free health clinic and was a teacher's aide in an inner city middle school.
I also got involved in the anti-war efforts of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, as well as efforts through the Church of the Brethren.

How about you? What's your background?

No, just a deck hand. Our father died at a young age, and my brother got in some minor trouble with the law (he and some friends poured 3 gallons of paint over a cops personal car that had been harassing them) so the judge gave him a choice of enlisting or being charged.

That's cool, I was just curious. My brother was on the USS Coral Sea off the coast of Vietnam.
