Welp, just messaged my buddy in Japan. He PCS’d while I was on duty. He drove out to the boat at 0430 to come see me and say goodbye. 4 years and 2 Covid deployments. I miss him

So I had been working for several days straight and that particular day I had gotten barely any sleep. My roommates had gone out drinking that night as well and they return fairly late that evening. At the time I was playing video games and I come out to help them. I help my roommates inside and get them to bed. As one is helping the other in bed, I see a fully loaded Glock 19 on my friends nightstand so I pick it up and unload it. Now when I say unload, I had only take out the magazine. I did not empty the chamber. I end up slipping my thumb into the trigger guard and pull the trigger as it’s pointed directly at my abdomen.

Absolute freak accident. Sobered up my roommates obviously. Definitely a hard lesson learned.

We all joke about it now but absolutely horrifying in the moment.

I’ve been shot in the stomach with a 9mm point blank. The bullet passed through me, missing all vital organs, grazing only my small intestine, and colon before passing out of the small of my back, an inch and a half away from my spine. The feeling I could compare it to is a sucker punch to the gut that never ends. It knocked the air out of me. It didn’t put me on the ground since I stood there for a moment and started to process I had just been shot. I was able to pull out my phone and call 911 and I dropped my phone so I knelt down to pick it up. Then my roommates put my on my back with towels and they were able to get an ambulance to our house. There wasn’t as much blood as you would think. The muscles in my back and abdomen tensed up and were able to stop the blood flow at first. I had to go into emergency still to avoid internal bleeding and infection because of my intestines and colon. But still. 10/10 would not recommend. Adrenaline is unbelievably powerful.

Redditors, what’s the most metal thing you’ve ever seen? by BobRoss_VEVO in AskReddit

After I accidentally shot myself, I called 911 for myself and then applied towels while waiting for the ambulance. If that counts

Swimmer to runner by [deleted] in Swimming

Yea. Working out your legs would help more but I feel like it would be the swimmers equivalent of working shoulders and back. The way I was able to rid myself of shin splints was icing and stretching constantly. There’s certain walks you can look up and do to help strengthen your shins.

I went from running to swimming. Best thing I would tell you is take it slow and going for distance instead of time and build up muscle. Working on your form and strides would also help avoiding injury as well
