Different medical assessments across services and occupations

Teimu describes being assessed as fit for military service despite asthma, including tests that did not trigger his symptoms. Cyclic contrasts accounts of people with childhood asthma being treated differently by the US Air Force and Navy. One story concerns a discharge dispute; another concerns a sailor working in salvage diving. Clarke adds an account of an Australian Air Force weather specialist whose limp after a car accident created a fitness problem. The participants use these examples to question whether broad physical standards always match the work involved. The experiences are not evidence that every person with the same diagnosis would receive the same assessment.
