I was reloading with missiles a helicopter pad storage in the desert. Then me and my buddy take off with remaining missiles in the “Gator” to fill another helo pad. After 20 seconds driving we somehow both look back where we were only to see an enemy rocket landing and blowing up the very ammo point we had replenished with a huge kaboom. Had we lingered them joking some more a few seconds and we would have been dead.
A less glorious story is when my buddy who was known to be a prankster decided to upset my NCO and night squad leader by hitting him in the head with a huge dildo because he was slow getting up his bed. The NCO ran after him and caught him before he could get out the tent, disarmed him of the dildo and proceeded to hold him on the ground and beat his head with said dildo, only for the first sergeant to come in with a couple Afghan pest control workers to do a tent inspection right at the same time, walking up to that scene. The first sergent used to scream at everything this prankster would do but could not suppress absolute laughter with the two Afghan workers seeing him this time getting smacked around with this ugly rubber stick.
Oh my goodness...that was a close call. Glad you were on your way AWAY from there at just the right time.
