"They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money 'cause I still haven't seen a nickel of that million dollars."

Hey congrats! I probably have too many gloss black guitars already, but that's sexy as fuck!

And cheers for surviving the war with all your pieces intact.

 

[sessionswan]

That is all class right there sir... your service, dedication, tenacity and choice in guitars

Cheers guys, though im in the UK forces but we're all on the same team. I did work with some US guys and my girlfriend is Canadian

Im still having physio but im on the mend, the round went straight through my right bicep and out the back of the tricep and missed the bone and major nerves/arteries, just did a fair bit of muscle damage so i have to build it all up again. A million dollar shot the surgeon said but i doubt i'll get anywhere near that ;o)

Oh and it's pretty surreal being shot, felt like someone punched me really hard in the arm and my arm went dead straight away. Trying to fire my rifle was a real mission. All told i took 13 rounds, 1 through the arm, 1 just skimmed my arm left a burn and scar and i took 11 in my backpack which i didn't believe till i saw my kit when i got it back just the other day.

One very close call and lucky no one else in the patrol was hit and i wasn't hit any worse.

Being point man sucks though!!! ;o)

That's hardcore brother, I've had some close calls but never got hit (yet). Thanks for playing in the sand for us, and your guitar is absolutely GORGEOUS!!
