ALL,
I thought you could tell where in the country folks were from by the sequence of the numbers, mine B10-05-33 was assigned in December, 1965, enlisted in Albany, N.Y. Not sure that is/was true?? Who knows what they did during the draft years. My draft notice arrived while I was at my first duty station in Argentia in the fall of 1966.

They asked me if I knew mine when I applied for social security B725535 enlisted in San Antonio Texas 9/67. does anyone still have their draft card who joined in south texas? I bet it was Signed by Annie Hartmangruber. I went through Boot camp with her son. Met up with him again on a trip to Keflavik while working for E-Systems.
773 55 28, NAS Los Alamitos Feb. 8, 1964. Enlisted in the reserves at the age of 17. Went Active duty Jun. 28, 1966 at NAS Alameda. Was drafted twice while there.
B453XXX Cleveland, OH 1968
It's amazing that I still remember that number instantly after 40 years. I think it is a smart move not to use SSNs on ID cards. With identity theft as prevalent as it is, why did it take so long
