Here's hoping I can finally get a disability rating.

Been a chuck for 17 years. This is real.

Yup

Please recognize the long term effects of what we ask our brave service members to endure.

Served 4 years as an 11 Charlie and there is nothing low level about the concussion that is felt and heard when (as the gunner) you're keeping the "gun" level during a FFE.

I suffer from Hearing damage, slow Eustachian tube drainage, and vertigo all contributed to my time firing mortars.
