Wow! Dint you keep your US Army discharge document? Have you tried a
good lawyer or PI? He might be able to find paperwork from the draft
board that drafted you or elsewhere. Good luck. I would be
optimistic.
On a related subject, I useta have the same dream for years,
that I was liable for more duty time in the Army. Eventually
that dream went away. Goodbye nasty dream!
