Defo, Hearing is a problem for RAC types, along with ankles and knee (not just an infantry thing).
Also some RAC types have the odd digit missing here and there from various weapons incidents etc.

If Jesus's mother could be a virgin and Jesus could swan around town after he'd karked it, who are you to suggest Bugsy can't accelerate or reverse the passing of his years at will?

In my experience cordite fumes were never really an issue as they were farted out .
After a range day on Chally 1, the next morning our room used to smell like 1000 rounds of 7.62mm and ten HESH had been fired overnight.
Yes. One of my lads lost a finger to a Wombat/towbar interface.
Sadly no, although I have spent a lot of time on two wheels - and a bit less in the gutter swearing .
Double pnuemonia,10 days on a ventilator, ECMO and 3 weeks in ICU, all good clean fun .....I ' ran' my 50th Park Run three months later.
And as I have said out loud many times, without the NHS I would be a faint patina of soot sifting gently down over the South Coast.

Just seen this thread - It's brilliant & depressing in equal measure as I'm nowhere near as bad as some but there's the inevitability that will change in short order.

Dodgy left Knee - has a weird thing where it can do lots of stuff, lift heavy, endurance stuff but there's this bit that if I catch it just right, just before lock-out, intense pain - enough that if I'm not ready for it, the leg will start to collapse. I guess the body just tries to shut down the cause of the pain before my brain actually tells me what's going to happen. If I know it's coming, no dramas. Just hurts. Abseiling is a bitch for this.
Had to start using reading glasses a few years back - but it was so alien that I kept forgetting them and now have a pair on each floor of the house, in the car, in my bergan etc... dotted around all over the place.
Started getting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after a heavy virus five years ago, removed all the possible triggers, still happened but with less frequency, went onto beta blockers - destroyed me, removed my will to get out of bed, do any exercise, put on weight (which for me simply doesn't happen in any meaningful way), felt absolutely miserable. Came off them a few months back, went onto a low carb diet to sort out stuff, heart went spastic - ate loads of oats and chocolate, insta-happy-heart! Seems I need to balance carb intake and step away from the usual high protein or high fat diet I usually had. Just got to keep stuff in check and balanced. On a nice 500 calorie a day deficit at the moment - working perfectly, losing half a kg a week as I should - MyFitnessPal | MyFitnessPal.com is genius for this, even better when you sync it up to your Garmin etc... to get everything noted. I reckon a few more weeks, month maybe max, then I can get back to maintenance and then up it as and when training demands it. The Abs are back, just need to finish off the love-handles a bit. Stubborn buggers they are.
Shit/missing teeth like many of our generation, certainly not helped by Army dentists.
Got random bloating and seems that if I keep gluten to a minimum, it reduces most off it - if I fancy a pizza, I'll have it as long as I know what'll come after.
Work out/train/run/walk whatever 6 days a week but there's always a singular initial consideration - what's the injury risk in what I'm about to do? That pretty much defines things nowadays and I make sure things are mixed up so there's never a focus on a particular movement, set of joints - just a general overall functional aim and not scared to take the odd extra day off if I feel a bit fatigued or not quite right. Max HR stuff for more than 20 minutes or so really wipes me out now (easy to hit on a call out). I work and socialise with a bunch of fit & robust people, MR & SF - I'm never the fittest among them, keeps you on your toes.
Sleep really well, always aim to get at least 8hrs. No point in doing the above if the recovery element isn't on point.
Was a heavy smoker from early teens until 2015 - moved back to the UK from Dubai where it was £1 a packet and simply couldn't justify so stopped.
Pretty much binned alcohol a few years ago - mainly because of the AFib as it can be a trigger, but I wasn't really winning anymore - the pain the next day outweighed the pleasure the night before. Would be stupid to carry on like that. I now enjoy the odd glass of wine or a single beautiful ice cold beer on a hot day - but that's it. Get a hangover if I have more than three now, bastard!
Hair is thinning, will go shaved as soon as it starts to look desperate.
Getting old sucks nuts.
