My dad's birthdate come up during the draft draw and he was called into the Australian National Service during the Vietnam War.

He talks a little bit being posted to Vietnam as infantry - generally there wasn't much difference between the Nashos and the regs once they were over there.

One of the stories he tells was about a month or two after getting back and being demobilised, he went to a recruitment office to see if he could get back in, and was told that he was physically unfit to serve in the Army.

I'll see if he's interested in posting in this thread.
