I was #338, so I also gave up my 2-S deferment. My older brother got #003. He was a 1967 UNC grad with no clear career goals, so he joined the Army before the Draft Board called him. He hated it so much that he waived his OCS agreement so he would finish his commitment earlier, and he went to the infantry as a grunt. Just before he finished boot camp at Ft. Dix, the North Koreans captured the USS Pueblo, and the US needed to build up our forces there, and he went to Korea rather than Vietnam.stevelee wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 1:33 pmA classmate of mine went to Harvard Law School straight out of Davidson. He had not done Advanced ROTC, so when the draft laws changed, he did NROTC at Harvard. It was a time of war protests, so very few undergrads there did any ROTC flavor. Almost everyone in the program was in med school or law school. My number was high enough that I didn't need deferments for which I was eligible. My draft board classified me 1-A. If you stayed in that for a year without being drafted, then you were exempt for all practical purposes. I recently found out that my friend from New York was in the same situation. Then after a few years in the parish, he became a chaplain in the Navy.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:37 amBack in my day, with the Vietnam war still raging, a prospective MD didn't dare risk a gap year unless you had a safe draft number. One of my Duke classmates flew F-4 Phantoms off an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin prior to med school.

Stryker is best known for its orthopedic devices. We need to approach that alum about an NIL deal with the women's basketball team.loosha's lad wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 11:02 amMaybe it's still the case, but wasn't there a Davidson alumnus/a that was CEO of Stryker in recent years?

Re: Skogman injury
The program needs to take a hard look at the frequency of these types of injuries and explore any possible ways to try to prevent them.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:28 pmStryker is best known for its orthopedic devices.

This is not a problem unique to our team. Since I no longer belong to a medical staff, I don't have access to the full article through my local AHEC library anymore, but I've read some of this stuff, and it is daunting.

Re: Skogman injury
IIRC Cliff Tribus helped develop some medical hardware, or at least participated in trials of medical hardware. He is an orthopedic surgeon at UW Madison.
I’m still not sure how he fit in his Datsun (280Z I think)

Re: Skogman injury
My son worked several years as a rep for a Stryker competitor , Zimmer Biomet. Made a good living but following the on call schedule of orthopedic surgeons finally was too much. He now works for a dental supply company ... every Friday off from now on.loosha's lad wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:39 amSteve MacMillan '85DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:28 pmStryker is best known for its orthopedic devices.

Steve MacMillan, ‘85. Left Stryker in 2012 on less than amicable terms. He has been a major benefactor of the golf program.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:28 pmStryker is best known for its orthopedic devices.

Re: Skogman injury
JRich’s wiki page has not been updated since he left Pitt basketball.
IIRC he was/is running Steph’s youth golf program. I don’t know if that’s considered a full time job or not.
