John Kerry - in the Reserves

As someone mentioned in one of my other posts, John Kerry was listed as USNr.

Of course, back then, that meant that he wasn't Regular Navy. I honestly can't think of what the differences were, but I'm pretty sure it limited his options of ever making the Navy a career. Yeah, Right - like that would have happened!

And I understand that "little johnnie edwards" had a draft number of 179. Now, he would not have had that number if he was only eighteen and still ineligible for the draft, would he?
