Today we had the annual cattle call for medical evaluations. Medical teams come in and set up in the armory to check our teeth. Others set up in the parking lot to check our hearing. Today at Noon I got in line for the hearing check. The line moves at the rate of two people every ten minutes. I joined the line with eight people in front of me.
And for the next 40 minutes I listened to the diesel generator that ran all the equipment in the hearing test truck.
Huh?
Exactly. Everyone in the line listened to a diesel at high idle for for the best part of an hour before the hearing test.
We all passed anyway, but sometimes the Army is too funny!
