Including a Yellow Fever vaccination when I was being sent to ICELAND! And that's just the one I remember because it seemed so odd. I'd love to find the list of everything else I was vaccinated against.

I stood in line, bared my arm, and walked through the gauntlet of needles and air pressure guns because I had NO other choice.

Given the close quarters in which most of the military lives, mandating this just makes sense.
