I imagine there was pressure and expectations in the Force and I did not hear of any one escaping out of it??
Bob Fulton was "co-incidently" stationed in Sydney to serve his time as a Vietnam conscript instead of being thrown to the wolves and forced to see combat in the jungles of Vietnam like other people who weren't so fortunate or had friends in high places like Bozo I believe.
Yet someone like Doug Walters had to serve
Supposedly he earned the nickname "Hanoi " as he was bombed every night
Poor guy. Did they have bouncers in Doug's days so he sort of knew how to duck and weave - I don't think so.
