I got mine from Artillery too. 10 yrs in a National Guard Artillery unit in the late 70’s. The crappy foam ear plugs sucked. When you are on the firing line you have to hear commands so the ear plugs were not the best....

We had ear plugs in the US, Swedish wool too IIRC.
But in 'Nam there was nothing - and I was on an 8" howitzer for 13 loooong (and loud) months.
