I never experienced the "delights" of a pre-induction physical, but a
few of my contemporaries told me about their experiences in the mid to
late 1960s. They weren't as exciting as Arlo Guthrie's saga in "Alice's
Restaurant," but I do recall them telling me the pre-induction screening
was minimalist in nature.

My induction physical was less inclusive than the one I had to take to
play high school football in DC.

With good reason. DC high school football players would make most of us Army folk look like a bunch
of pansies!
