Just a poll of Atlas folks. How many are vets and which type of service, etc.? If yes, feel free to give your branch(es), etc. within PERSEC bounds, of course.

Yes, USN, Active Duty (HD), IRR.

No (draft was abolished when I was 1 y.o., and I have no interest in being in the military)

No, but I'll be conscripted to the Israeli army, either next year or (if I get into a university -> army program) in three years.

Nope, I managed to avoid the draft just in time to see the law modified to have it abolished.

I was part of the RAF Cadets for about a year and a half in my teens. Hated it.

I lasted 4 months and it killed my desire to become a pilot, and a near miss in a glider has made me hate flying

No, thank God. Statistically-speaking, when it came to my age at the time of prime enlistment and what was going on then, I'd be massively f[inks]ed in the head like all of my friends and acquaintances who served and came back as husks of their former selves.

No, the draft has been suspended here. May enlist in the national reserve if I stay around here. May enlist in the Israeli army if I decide to make aliyah.

I got drafted. It alternated between mind numbingly cold and mind numbingly boring. 14 months of my life wasted that I am never going to get back.
