Gawain 0 #26 December 11, 2006 QuoteAnd Gawain, I'm now on a hearing profile and I'm starting to wonder about my disability too. I'd say I damn well deserve it, but like you mentioned, for that very reason I doubt I'll get it. Don't let me deter you. The "powers-that-be" know that the ear protection can't be worn 24/7. Pursue it!! I just know that when I got injured, because we were on an offensive operation, if I'd suffered hearing loss, I might've been denied. By contrast, if I was in our living space, and a mortar hit our building, that is a different story. Either way, I wore mine every time I left our camp.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

I did get rocked quite a few times by breaching charges, so yeah, there it was my fault.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Also, i tend to misplace things a lot, so I'm sure I'd lose the nice triple flange in a day, the foamies come in big boxes so I never run outHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
