We had a guy get shot in the head with a 7.62x39. The bullet didn't fully penetrate the skull, but skipped up and into his kevlar, and then rode the curvature of his skull and out the back. Crazy things happen.
Anyhow, shipmate - I never made it to OEF; spent it all in OIF.
Semper.
Well you have the experience and have seen things no man should ever have to see. I’ve shot at paper and have seen Youtube videos. Yeah, probably best to see what the autopsy reveals.
We didn’t really have an equivalent to Semper Fi in the navy when I was in... maybe “Anchors Aweigh” or “Drink to the foam?” I dunno. I’ll just say oorah in response.
