My friend killed a raven airborne over Baker after all the blue meanies
were expended - he hit it with one of the pylons on an F/A-18.


Our battalion ops sergeant killed a raven with his motorcycle helmet at
highway speed - he managed to stay upright, but he was a little shaken for
the rest of the day.

Glenn D.,



I took a one inch nut in the forehead at about 75 mph on the highway
once. It disloged from a semi goin the opposite direction and hit me
just above my right eye, between my glasses and my helmet. I saw it
come loose an hit the deck...I had managed to avoid it, but my pal in
front of me rode over it, kicked it back up, and it hit me. Don't know
why the thing didn't crack my skull open...but I didn't do more than
flinch and stayed upright.

It wasn't until we got to his place and I removed my helmet and he saw
the dried blood and the gash that he figured out had happened...
