== Background ==
Draper is the son of a United States Air Force engineer; he has characterized his father as a distant and imposing figure. As a child, he built a home radio station from discarded military components.〔 He was frequently bullied in school and briefly received psychological treatment due to a perceived "chemical imbalance." After taking college courses, Draper himself entered the Air Force in 1964. While stationed in Alaska, he helped his fellow servicemen make free phone calls home by devising access to a local telephone switchboard. After Alaska, he was stationed at Charleston Air Force Station in Maine. In 1967, he created WKOS (), a pirate station in nearby Dover-Foxcroft, but had to shut it down when a legitimate radio station, WDME, objected. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force as an airman first class〔 or sergeant〔The release of a revised AFR 39-36 on 19 October 1967 renamed Airman Third Class, Airman Second Class and Airman First Class to Airman, Airman First Class and Sergeant respectively. This returned Sergeant to the rank structure as the first step in the NCO tier as a retention move but required achievement of a 5-skill Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) level. No changes to the respective insignias were made. Technical Sergeant Spink, Barry L. (1992). ''A Chronology of the Enlisted Rank Chevron of the United States Air Force'', 19 February 1992.

Thereafter, he relocated to the incipient Silicon Valley and briefly held military-related〔 positions with National Semiconductor (as an engineering technician) and Hugle International (tasked with working on an early cordless phone design) while concurrently enrolled at De Anza College, where he studied part-time through 1972. During this period, he also worked as an engineer/DJ for KKUP in Cupertino, California and adopted the countercultural ethos of the times, including long hair and a predilection for marijuana. Draper is renowned for his lifelong intolerance of tobacco smoke and his poor personal hygiene.
