Yeah felt great, sure as hell let me know I was alive! I was working under the sliding doghouse. Avi needed to turn the blades but failed to let anyone know. I went to stand up to climb down and caught the corner of the trailing edge. I hit it so hard they said the whole helicopter shook. Lucky there was a work stand next to the gunners window. I fell down onto that then fell off that to the ground. I don't really remember much of it. But my buddies gave me the play by play. I do remember the Dr saying we can't numb it we'll just staple. I said ok thinking it was going to hurt like a sum beatch, but it really wasn't bad. My buddy I was in the Corps with that worked with me in Balad also pulled out the staples. We were laughing our azzes off.
