The part that really scares me is the line "The father of three was back on duty within an hour of the near-miss."

If that were me, I'd stay the fuck down. You've had your lifetime of luck dimished in an instant!

A similar thing happened to Lucys mate and he went back for more!!! I guess it must be an adrenaline thing.

That's terrific.
This bloke obviously takes his job very seriously. Soldiers are paid to put themselves in harms way and he hasn't let a little thing like almost having his head blown off stop him. And he's a reservist! Brilliant.

A very lucky chap though!
