12 years as a mortar man so far, 8 of those dealing with 120mm mortars almost exclusively. Would like to see this as my behavioral health has changed over the years and I would attribute most of it to this.

I’ve nearly gone unconscious from rapid firing 120mm mortars in Afghanistan. This is real. My brain hurt for days.
