30. I'm not

My brother-in-law Floyd made it all the way through the fourth week of Basic before they figured out that if he closes one eye the other shuts down too. Just covering it for an eye test doesn't affect his vision, but if he closes one eye he's totally blind.

Being able to see with one eye closed is definitely a job requirement in the Army, so they gave him a medical discharge.
