The first was a terrific interview with an Air Force Squadron Leader pilot. The General questioned him at the end of the interview, “Do you detect anything different about me?” “Why, absolutely, Sir, I couldn’t help but observe that you have no ears,” replied the young officer. Because of his lack of tact, the general threw him out.
The second interview was with a Naval Lieutenant Commander, who was much better than the first. The General then questioned him again, “Do you detect anything different about me?” He responded meekly, “Well, sir, you have no ears.” The General also threw him out.
The third interview was with an Infantryman and a commando qualified Major.
The General liked this guy, and went ahead with the same question, “Do you notice anything different about me?” To his surprise, the Major said, “Yes, sir, you wear contact lenses.”
The General was very impressed and thought, “What an incredibly observant officer and he didn’t mention my ears.”
He asked, “Major, how do you know I wear contacts?” “Well, sir,” the officer replied, “It’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no fg ears.”

But because none of them wants to go, they must show medical evidence as to why they are unable to join in.
“It’s simple for me,” the turtle says. “I am slow.” He enters the test room, and as he exits, he cheerfully informs his companion that he is, in fact, too slow.
“Well,” the mole continues, “I am literally blind. How do they want me?” And he’s correct. He emerges a few minutes later, hugging his friends and telling them that he doesn’t have to join the army because they don’t need a blind mole.
“Ok guys”, says the bear terrified. “Let’s face it. I am one of the biggest and most dangerous animals. I am the perfect soldier.” “I have an idea”, says the turtle slowly, “the most dangerous part of you is your teeth. Without your teeth, you are not really dangerous. So if we just smash your teeth they won’t want you!” Reluctantly the bear agrees and the three friends start smashing the bear’s teeth.
Without teeth, the bear enters the examination room and after 10 minutes comes out again with a hanging head and sad face. “So, you have to join the army?”, the turtle asks carefully. The bear mumbles, ”No, I’m too fat.”
