I forgot to mention...

I was a Cub Scout in 4th-5th grade, won a spelling bee in 6th grade (I spelled 'Anxiety', mainly by paying attention to all the failed spellings before my turn :)), and was in the Glee Club in 7th grade.

What the ever lovin' hell is a GLEE CLUB? If it's just a bunch of nerds that are happy all the time, well then count me out. Bunch of "happy go lucky do gooders"!

I was in it -- it's for people who enjoy singing. I was a band kid and, although I didn't have a lot of musical ability, I could carry a tune in a bucket, so I joined. Many high schools have them, or at least they did when I was that age. Glee clubs were named after a form of English part song, called a glee, which they typically sang.

I was exaggerating on purpose but actually had no idea what a glee club was. I was only INVITED to play football and to the wrestling team. Better fit.

I don't believe it, but I read they're gonna start the invites gain.

No draft, but now, when you turn 18, it is an automatic sign up instead of the 18 year old having to go down and sign up. The draft was like a lottery before and birth dates were assigned a number from 1 to 365, and the first 182 numbers drawn, those birth dates were getting drafted.

"IIRC"

WHATEVER, my birthdate turned out to be "2" and I joined the NAVY instead of being drafted in to the ARMY or MARINES.
