[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 554573, member: 4357"] Actually I was being a bit facetious, but yes it did happen. We had gone through live fire exercises in training but the difference is that you knew no one was trying to kill you. My first op in country about half of our 14 man unit were seasoned combat vets. The other half like myself were green as grass in spite of special training. Second day of a 5 day op we got into a firefight with a north vietnamese patrol of about 30. Lasted for almost an hour before they retreated. Took me two days to quit shaking. Was a couple of months before I didn't "pucker up" at the sound of gunfire.. [/QUOTE]
