Lots of character-building stuff… Gun shots - too many times to count. Almost hit by (not so) friendly fire by a grenade launcher. Carjacked a Toyota Hilux technical (aka bullet magnet), during which I had to hand to hand fight the driver/owner/prisoner who pulled a knife on my driver, followed by a combat speed run through a war zone, where I then had to drop the vehicle from a Belgian crane to rip off the crew serve machine gun mount, and cap the day off by driving the same broke as truck back through the same hot zone - all with no map/radio/leadership. Found a war crime murder scene of dozens of people - reported it and then was ordered to guard the bodies as I waited for UN war crimes reporter, resulting in me eating, drinking, sleeping among the bodies. Sharks. Spiders. Cobras. Lions. Then came home and got malaria three times because the Army gave me the wrong pill to eat every Tuesday. Ended up with TBIs, PTSD, and a general inability to control my fluency for a couple decades or so.
