I didn’t enlist in the Army---I was drafted.  So I wasn’t going to make life easy for anyone.  During my physical, the doctor asked softly, “Can you read the letters on the wall?”  “What letters?” I answered slyly.  “Good,” said the doctor.  “You passed the hearing test.”

Boy does that bring back memories.  I did join and after being around guns all my life and a childhood illness that damaged my hearing I could not hear the higher pitched sounds on the hearing test but since they gave a room full the test at the same time I could hear all the other recruits clicking there buttons so when they clicked I clicked.

When going through my separation physical I was the only one there so I could cheat on the test.  The tester turned the volume all the way up but when he switched to a lower frequency I almost came after him it hurt so bad.

The army then tried to give me a disability check for my hearing loss as I was still around a lot of guns and loud noises.

I declined the check.
