Oooof!

When I went to boot camp, nearly 10 years ago, and enjoyed my stay at the Parris Island bunks for a few months, an aquantice of mine (met him during the recruitment process) was going through the same battalion (3rd) but was in a different series, so we never really crossed paths. However, I came to find out that during pugil stick training (which is immense fun) he managed to dislocated his shoulder. It would seem that he went for a full swing at his opponent's head, while at the same time the opponent swung, but aimed lower - for his torso. His opponent connected and caught him right in the arm pit. Physics then took over and out popped his shoulder. That really had to hurt.
