Hey Morris, it may be freaky but it's not that rare. When I went through we had a kid drop dead of a heart attack in the D-FAC at Reception Bn. When we went out to do NBC training, a thunderstorm rolled up and the whole company was out in a sand pit that accumulated about six inches of water in a matter of minutes. Lightning hit a tree, travelling through the water, and suddenly there were fifteen kids doing the "kickin' chicken". Smelled like burnt hair/and wet dog! Two weeks later some dumbass decided that he couldn't handle the Army anymore, so he blew his head off on the 'confirm zero' range. A kid was doing flutter kicks in RIP and didn't realize he was on a fireant hill. He was stung so many times that he went into anaphalactic shock and his heart stopped....
I could really go on and on, but my point here kids is that you're not going to summer camp....the job you have chosen is NO FRIGGIN' JOKE. The mission is dangerous, the training is dangerous, and you will be exposed to as much danger as you care for.
Point is KEEP YOUR SHIT TIGHT. Anything and everything can kill you; the environment, the idiot to your left and right, and WHEN, NOT IF, you go to combat, so can your enemy. Sleep tight...
