A scanned U.S. Navy physical examination form is humorously filled out for George, a cat nicknamed General Electric, who was supposedly enlisted aboard the USS North Carolina in 1944. The medical notes use cat-related jokes and absurd measurements, making the animal look like an official sailor with a very questionable health record. It is shared as a wholesome absurd reaction meme about a beloved mascot being treated with unexpected military seriousness.
