A quick question. I assume you volunteered for the air force - you weren't
drafted, were you?

Nobody is drafted into air cadet program Nobody. Aircrews are a 100% volunteer
units based on intensive testing and very high qualification standards.. I was
17 and in high school when I volunteered for the Air Cadets, I took the air
cadet tests. (90% washout rate) I passed both the written and the physical
tests and was called to action the first day I legally could be which was on my
18th birthday. Next thing I knew I was over Germany flying missions for which
draftees were not quite up to.
