IED and Non weapon.....

I have been in two uparmored M1114s struck by IEDs.

Unarmed conflicts.... numerous apprehending unruly drunks.

I skipped over firearm..... Bullets all around, shots all around..... but, I don't think I was the specific target or that the haji was trying all that hard anyway.

Your poll is missing rocks, bricks, feces, and molotov cocktails..... the essential joys of peace keeping missions like Albania or Somalia.

Never had anything while in the military, but as a civilian paramedic I've stared in to the barrel of a shotgun, looked down the pointy end of a knife and had wrestling matches with patients from junkies to drunken, retired school nurses.

I was tied up and mugged at machete-point when I was 14. When I lived out in the sticks, I had to fight and kill 5 diamondback rattlesnakes (one at a time)- four with rocks and a shovel and one with a 12-gauge. The "armed martial arts" battles were all really nerve-wracking.

So, no. Thankfully, I haven't had to engage in any life or death struggles with any fellow human beings. I really hope to keep it that way. Knock on wood, I've never even been in a fist fight with anyone other than my brother (and those don't count) when we were both kids.

Same as Lt. Ox I would think. 1 OIS (Officer involved Shooting) where I returned fire. Another incident where I was fired upon but out of range to return fire. One off duty where I was fired upon and did not return fire.

The two last incidents I cant say the fire was directed at me but it was definitely coming in my general direction.
