Most of mine occurred during a UN tour in the early 90's

>Driving and being shot at. We could see the rounds hitting the road. We were in a tight mountain area with very little we could to other than drive a 2 1/2 tonne truck down a twisting mountain road over 100K. Some of the shooters were so close you could hear the crack, but not the thump.

>Same tour. We had an outside shower (the only warm shower around) that was run on an immersion heater, and powered by a M113. I was in the middle of showering, all soaped up and I heard the first round fall. The water stopped and the track pulled away. I had to run about 75 m across our compound wraped in a towel, wearing jungle boots, a flakvest, helmet and carrying a rifle. As I was running by the parked M113's they were shaking from the explosions.
