A young man who registered for the draft reflects on the two chances he carries. If he is drawn or not drawn, he explains that regardless of outcome he will face examinations, rejections or accepts, being called, held in reserve, or on the firing line, and that even in worst outcomes he has two chances and cannot truly worry.
