Same here in the early 80s. They didn't like my slightly crooked spine even though it's never been a health issue for me.
When I went for my physical, which had been scheduled months in advance I hadn't quite gotten over a bronchitis episode and the doc didn't like the sound of my lungs.

Playing the saxophone for a living seems to have cured me of that.

I wanted to join the Air Force Band. Since in school I was first tenor in the all-state band every year I was eligible, and since I also got section leader, which goes to the first alto by default, I was sure I could pass the audition. But i never got that chance.

So I went on the road with a rock band instead. Not too bad of a trade wink
