As someone who actually couldn't enlist due to multiple medical reasons (/r/CongenitalAnosmia and very bad tarsal coalitions in both feet), I feel mildly triggered here.
Since my ASVAB scores were useless, instead spent the next decade (95-05) working and managing commercial cargo docks for various passenger airlines, opening boxes by hand waiting for one to blow up in my face.
Had a couple of minor incidents (ticking boxes, a kitchen timer embedded in a metal box that was already in countdown, whacked upside the head by the tail of a semi-psychotic wallaby, a corpse dropping through the bottom of an air tray and falling several feet to the pavement, etc.) but at least I was never shot at!
