Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) had no way to know that a draft notice would shape the course of his life. He was just 22 when he headed to Army boot camp at Fort Chaffee, Ark., in 1957.
“Although I had to take some time off from school to serve, I do not regret it for a moment,” said Inhofe, who worked as a clerk at Fort Lee, Va. “I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing today if it had not been for my experiences in the military and the discipline that comes with it.”
