Uncle Sam gave me a 105 howitzer, but nobody said diddly about ear protection. 20 years later, audiologist with no history from me yet said: "You were either on a 105 or a 155, sometime in the mid-1960s, weren't you?" Of course, the M60, 3.5 rocket launcher, and M14 all did their shares. WTH, tho. I'd do it again. Duty, and all that.
