We probably won't agree...so be it...that's why this is a forum.
In answer to your question above, yes, and it was the guy you would have least expected. He was this rugged looking former high school jock. A real gung-ho type who was immediately in front of me in line for blood tests.
He broke out in sweat and just crumpled to the floor. I'm sure there was somethig else that disqualified him, but what a surprize!
Other than that, you're right about the physicals -- mine could have been taken in tact right out of the scene in Alice's Restaurant. Including having to see the military shrink because I was "arrested" for not paying parking tickets. He decided I was probably "moral" enough for the Army.
