A vote against me would not be the first, however all who do have firsthand knowledge of my ability and have thoroughly evaulated me, voted yes, some with more than 20 years experience, none in SF, as very few are Army, but several are Recon Marines. Either way we have a difference of opinion so I will allow my physical and mental ability to be judged by those who actually make the decision. 
I apologize for the hijack in this thread, as I seem to have wandered from my original post regarding tinnitus. (Mine seems to stem from regular shooting even though I wear excellent hearing protection)
My tinnitus seems to affect the 2000 Hz range and it is difficult at times, to distinguish the beep from the tinnitus. But as stated earlier this does come and go. |
I do not know you, but I have been 18, 28, 38, and 48, so I know where you are headed, and unlike you, I know in painful detail what the demands of the job are. I have also seen thousands of candidates over the years, and the cause of their failures.
If you make it to Camp Mackall for SFAS, I look forward to tracking your performance and progress.
And I just might get a chance to vote then.
Do your best.
