    Default Re: Anyone ever been shot?

    Took a good sized chunk 7.62 in the foot during my second tour in Iraq. The round impacted and fragmented a bit before it hit me. Felt the round penetrate my boot, but no pain was immediately felt. Adrenaline was running pretty high, there was a large volume of incoming enemy fire at the time, and we had already sustained one friendly WIA. I felt the pain a little while later, but it wasn't too bad. I was medevac'd to the CASH in Mosul after the initial surgery to remove the fragment. The pain I had to endure for a month after the fact, the daily cleansing and repacking of the wound, was much worse. Even with morphine.
